Purling Hiss is an artist hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA. With a sound that draws inspiration from artists such as *King Tuff*, *Cory Hanson*, and *Idle Times*, Purling Hiss has carved out their own unique space in the music world. Their music can be described as a blend of garage rock, psychedelic rock, and lo-fi indie rock.

Known for their energetic live performances and raw, gritty sound, Purling Hiss has gained a dedicated following over the years. Their discography includes albums such as "Water on Mars" and "High Bias", which have received critical acclaim for their catchy hooks and infectious melodies.

In addition to their solo work, Purling Hiss has collaborated with other notable artists including *White Fence* and *Cheater Slicks*. They have also shared the stage with bands like *The Men* and *Royal Headache*, further solidifying their place in the indie rock scene.

Full-tilt tunes, aggro riffs, feedback peals, stoned soul-searching pop turnarounds and magisterial portraits of the go-nowhere lifestyle in abstract... ding dong, you're correct: we are describing the sounds of Purling Hiss! But dig it, these adjectives most appropriately articulate 'Weirdon', the fully realized, new album from Purling Hiss! 'Weirdon' is a new-phase Purling Hiss album, using the songwriting and guitar style of Mike Polizze to come up with a quicksilver sound touched on only briefly on previous records. If last year's 'Water On Mars' was the Purling Hiss heavy rock album, 'Weirdon' travels into the pop dimension of Purling Hiss, making of their fastest and catchiest songs in the abiding images of punk and psychedelia. Written alone to achieve a contrast with the previous album and return, in a sense, to an original approach, 'Weirdon' was made with no concept of limitations any studio, venue, or bedroom might trap. Instead, Mike's new songs open up all over the place, bloomin' in their home-cooked blend of catharsis and shredding, both in the guitar playing and at the album's central core. Full of colour and rock and roll, 'Weirdon' is a rainbow of a record; beaming down to the stereos and streets and highways and boomboxes of today, through the unique and still-growing prism of Purling Hiss. Get yer 'Weirdon'.
