## Summary

Vancouver noise-rock band Piss have released their debut album, *you made me / skin on linen*, after a year of growing attention driven by intense live performances and online clips. The article argues that the band’s importance comes not from shock value, but from using harsh material to educate, protect and empower people affected by sexual violence and misogyny.

The group’s songs address graphic subject matter, and their performances can leave audiences shaken, even when they have been warned in advance. Vocalist Taylor Zantingh says Piss open every set with a content warning and provide free earplugs, aiming to make care for listeners’ bodies part of the experience. She also describes pushing back against punk and hardcore cultures that can romanticise enduring harm.
