Preoccupations is a Canadian post-punk band hailing from Calgary, Alberta. Originally known as Viet Cong, the band was formed in 2012 and consists of Matt Flegel, Scott Munro, Daniel Christiansen, and Mike Wallace.
With their unique blend of atmospheric soundscapes and intense energy, Preoccupations have garnered a dedicated following within the post-punk scene. Their music explores themes of existentialism and introspection, creating a thought-provoking experience for listeners.
Known for their captivating live performances, Preoccupations have toured extensively across North America and Europe. They have released several critically acclaimed albums that showcase their evolution as musicians and songwriters. With each release, they continue to push boundaries and challenge musical conventions.

In late 2013, Preoccupations â€”then known as Viet Cong-- released a small-run cassette EP only available on tour. Over the course of a year, Matt Flegel and Scott Munro worked in their basement studio with a mess of old and run down equipment to build a set of fresh material. Joined by bandmates Daniel Christiansen and Michael Wallace, the band completed work on an debut cassette. What emerged from the studio was a mixture of sharply-angled rhythm workouts and euphoric 60s garage pop-esque melodies, balanced with a penchant for drone-y, VU-styled downer moments, and became a hard-to-find classic.
