12'' EP - Limited Edition Transparent Blue Vinyl with Screenprinted B-Side. Only 500 copies pressed in this edition.
Problem Patterns have got something to say and they're going to say it fucking loudly. Unfiltered, raw and absolutely vital, queercore quartet Problem Patterns are angry.
This is their forthcoming EP, Boring Songs for Boring People, and it's all going rather well. The last single entered the 6 Music C List (for four weeks and counting) while the first single 'Sad Old Woman' (with Matt Korvette of Pissed Jeans) got everywhere. Double digit 6 Music spins, track of the week on Radio X, playlists galore and stacks of alt press. The EP drops in September on vinyl on ludicrously cool screenprinted vinyl (500 only. Never to be repressed). Their previous album won Album of the Year at the Northern Irish Music Awards (beating Ash and Kneecap into the bargain) - they're a spectacular live force.
Problem Patterns are not limited by age or ability or binary identities. They don't have a front person, they swap instruments and roles to ensure that each member of the group has a voice. They espouse queer punk and they have shared touring schedules with Le Tigre, Queen Zee, JOHN, Pink Suits & Bob Vylan. They are ace.
All killer on the A side. Trans vinyl screenprinted with this epic image on the B side. The album features Matt Korvette from Pissed Jeans singing on one track, brilliant artwork from Conor Barbour and 6 vital hits. I can’t promise it will never be pressed again, but this is limited to 500 – and will never again appear with this screenprint on it, so if you get it now – you’ll know you’re an inspired human being.
The Guardian said “righteous anger has rarely sounded so engaging” – they’re right you know.
