Pissed Jeans is an American noise rock band hailing from Allentown, Pennsylvania. Known for their raw and energetic sound, they have been making waves in the music scene since their formation.

With influences ranging from *Part Chimp* to *The Jesus Lizard*, *Mclusky* to *Young Widows*, Pissed Jeans has carved out a unique place in the genre. Their music combines elements of punk, hardcore, and garage rock to create a truly powerful sonic experience.

Having shared the stage with notable acts such as *Hot Snakes* and *Fucked Up*, Pissed Jeans has built a dedicated fanbase that appreciates their intense live performances. Their discography includes albums like "Honeys" and "Why Love Now", which showcase their ability to deliver gritty lyrics with unapologetic fervor.

Short for "Subterranean Pop" 

The label was an outgrowth of [a=Bruce Pavitt]'s Olympia, WA based (print) fanzine, which became the well respected cassettezine of the same name. 

After his move to Seattle he ran a music column in the Seattle Rocket also called Sub Pop.

After initial forays into the record label world with a [a=Green River] 7" (not officially on Sub Pop) and the Sub Pop 100 LP, the label exploded onto the indie scene with four influential colored vinyl 7"s which included [a=Mudhoney]'s "Touch Me I'm Sick" which made the year-end top 10 playlist of nearly every music journalist in the world.

Subsequent hyping of the label in the English music press put them on the map, and grunge was born.

Label-Code is 03159; rarely found printed on releases (basically only on releases manufactured/licensed by Warner/WEA Germany)

following on the heels of their monumental 'don't need smoke to make myself disappear' 7", pissed jeans drop album number 2 and their sub pop debut: 'hope for men'. for those who found a glimmer of the stuff on the aforementioned single (two pressings of which have sold out), the album delivers more, and in abundance. that is to say, if classic, thick-as-glue punk bombast and aussie sludge stoke the coals of your existence, you have found, not only your new favourite band, but a reason to get up in the morning. since 2004 the jeans have spent many a night playing in their hometown, no-rules hellhole, allentown's legendary jeff the pigeon (rip). their first single, 'throbbing organ' and album, 'shallow' (both on parts unknown) set many self-styled punk scholars' hearts a-flutter. songs like 'ugly twin' sent jaws floor-ward by including a plaintive piano part in a bruiser of a song. such touches abound on 'hope for men'. the album is diverse, but the jeans ain't no dilettantes. mixing volatility with humor is a damned hard thing to master in music. pissed jeans do it with smarts and poignancy. consider the bar raised.
