Pity Sex is a four-piece indie rock/emo band hailing from Ann Arbor, Michigan. Formed in 2011, they have gained recognition for their unique blend of genres and heartfelt lyrics.
With influences ranging from Tigers Jaw to The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die, Pity Sex has carved out their own distinct sound in the music industry. Their emotionally charged performances resonate with fans who appreciate raw and honest storytelling.
Known for their captivating live shows, Pity Sex has toured extensively and shared the stage with notable acts such as Balance And Composure and Dikembe. Their discography includes albums like "Feast of Love" and "White Hot Moon," which showcase their evolving musical style.

Ann Arbor's Pity Sex built the world of White Hot Moon, their second album, inch-by-inch. The band is using the foundation of 2013's celebrated Feast of Love as the framework for something bigger, stronger, and altogether more monumental. Coming off of tours with Ceremony, Eskimeaux, and Colleen Green—including a run in Australia—the band dove into the studio with Feast of Love producer Will Yip to harness that momentum into an album to showcase Pity Sex's growth. And if White Hot Moon wears its ambition on its sleeve, that's by design: the band looked to wide-screen albums by Yo La Tengo and Sonic Youth for inspiration in finding a bigger sound. That shows: Drake and Greaves spin huge webs of sound, anchored in shoegaze but branching off in a dozen directions, from fuzzed-out power-pop ("Bonhomie") to shimmering balladry ("Dandelion") and back again, while St. Charles and Pierce lock into step subtly counterintuitive rhythms and floor-shaking low-end. The result of this playful but dedicated approach to their craft: wherever you visit White Hot Moon, you'll come away refreshed, revitalized, and ready for Pity Sex to guide you along the rest of the trip.
