Style

A lot their music has a tendency to lean towards heavier topics such as mental health issues, giving them a great voice of dark humor.German newspaper Die Tageszeitung considers Pisse a part of the German post-punk renaissance scene, a musical style inspired by the punk rockers of the 1980s.
