Earthen Sea and Pissed Jeans

Pissed Jeans, a grunge punk band from Allentown, PA, fuses sarcasm and apathy with a heavy sound. Known for tracks like "Shallow," they've thrived under Sub Pop, releasing albums like "Hope for Men" and "Honeys." Formed as a side project, they deliver themes of sexual depression and blue-collar frustration. Despite lineup changes, they've stayed true to their roots, often taking breaks between projects, and continue to captivate fans 20 years on with hits like 2024's "Half Divorced."

Jacob Long, aka Earthen Sea, blends ambient and dub techno with shadowy rhythms. Known from Black Eyes and Mi Ami, he's released acclaimed albums on Lovers Rock, Other People, and Kranky.
