Pisse is a quartet from Hoyerswerda, Germany, which has been around since 2012 and plays some kind of a-bit-of-synth weird punk sung in german.
The kind of band with which you never really know where you are and have absolutely no idea where you going but you're ok for a ride anyway.

Theese guys already have quite a big discography so I am not going to go through each of their releases but just write a quick word about the "main" ones.
Their first "proper" release is a 2014 6-track 7" on Mamma Leone Records called Praktikum in der Karibik.
Basic, low-fi, with a decent dose of synth and some nice "punk explosion", the band, without having the maestro of today, has already found the "Pisse sound".
In 2015 Pisse releases Mit Schinken durch die Menopause on Phantom Records (note that Phantom Records also released a super low-fi and weird Pisse kassette in 2014).
Well... at the time the band music was already hard to describe...the album starts like a Die Antwoord song before taking a sharp U-turn to a sequence of short punk songs with quite a lot of synth, oscillating between fast and mid tempos... can be a bit unsettling at first...

With Kohlrübenwinter (Turnip Winter) (released on different formats by Phantom Records, Harbinger Sound, Beau Travail, Gafas Del Rigor and In A Car) we are at the album which made me discover the band and made them quite "hype" around here.
In my opinion it's exactly the release where the band finally mastered its recipe; finding the right balance between punk guitar riffs, gang vocals and synth melody...
The dual "question/answer" vocals infuses a great energy to the lot and even if my german is a bit rusty these songs are obviously full of jokes and sarcasm ... and it's probably one of the reason why they became so popular in german speaking countries...

Ok now let's pass Pisse's next couple of releases: the short Album Name (really guys?) and the also short Hornhaut ist der beste Handschuh ("Cornea is the best glove"??) which are still wandering on the weird synth punk map but with sometimes a darker post-punk vibe.
Latest Pisse release to date is a selft-titled full length out on, once again, Phantom Records and Harbinger Sound, in January 2020 and featuring ten new songs.
Starting with the fast and very punk Die Fetten Kinder, Pisse is taking us for a ride through some really diverse, but always breathtaking, landscapes... the weird and very german post punk Duracell, the almost hardcore Angenehm Staff, the very surfy ballads of Zu Viel Speed, the "very Pisse" synth punk of C02 Bilanz or Feind/Fehler... to finally conclude with the fun fair tango and chicken calls of Jenny L...
Probably less sarcastic, but still super efficient, the band is seriously keeping us in the dark all along... is there any plan? what the fuck are we doing here?...
Helpless, blindfolded and speechless the only option we got left is to enjoy, until the end, the restless madness of the german punks...
