So 60 years from now, when no one has a telephone, bands will be writing songs like, 'I'm waiting for her to call me on my telephone.' Kids are going to be like, 'Grandpa, tell me, what was that?' I'd rather not shy away from talking about the internet or interactions in 2016,\" says frontman Matt Korvette. Pissed Jeans' gutter-scraped amalgamation of sludge, punk, noise, and bracing wit make the band - Korvette, Brad Fry (guitar), Randy Huth (bass) and Sean McGuinness (drums) - a release valve for a world where absurdity seems in a constant battle trying to outdo itself. \u003ci\u003eWhy Love Now\u003c\/i\u003e picks at the bursting seams that are barely holding 21st-century life together. Take the grinding rave-up \u003ci\u003eThe Bar Is Low\u003c\/i\u003e, which, according to Korvette, is \"about how every guy seems to be revealing themselves as a shithead. It seems like every guy is getting outed, across every board of entertainment and politics and music. There's no guy that isn't a total creep.\" No Wave legend Lydia Lunch shacked up in Philadelphia to produce \u003ci\u003eWhy Love Now\u003c\/i\u003e alongside local metal legend Arthur Rizk (Eternal Champion, Goat Semen). \"I knew she wasn't a traditional producer,\" Korvette says of Lunch. \"I like how she's so cool and really intimidating. She ended up being so fucking awesome and crazy. She was super into it, constantly threatening to bend us over the bathtub. I'm not really sure what that entails, but I know she probably wasn't joking.” The combination of Lunch's spiritual guidance and Rizk's technical prowess supercharged Pissed Jeans, and the bracing \u003ci\u003eWhy Love Now\u003c\/i\u003e documents them at their grimy, grinning best. While its references may be very early-21st-century, its willingness to state its case cement it as an album in line with punk's tradition of turning norms on their heads and shaking them loose. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP+ - Limited Loser Purple Coloured Vinyl with Download.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - Black Vinyl with Download.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sub Pop","offers":[{"title":"Tape","offer_id":50448275669323,"sku":"1002924","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50448275112267,"sku":"1002922","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50448276128075,"sku":"1002921","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/624b1333-a0fd-4f3f-af60-7979ad9369a2_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727089004"},{"product_id":"shallow-1","title":"Shallow","description":"\u003cp\u003ePower-dirge from Pennsylvania.
