This show has a sliding scale fee and NOTAFLOF policy, as all Rotten Food Booking events.

“If Crazy Arms (January 2025) felt expansive and layered, Leash Aggression is its raw, stripped-down counterpart. It’s lo-fi in the best way and I feel that this is Pigeon Pit in their most natural state: unpolished, emotionally direct, and entirely disarming.

Frontwoman Lomes Oleander has described her songwriting as “maximalist journaling,” and that feels spot on. These songs read like dispatches from a life fully lived — heartbreak, queerness, protest, recovery — all tumbling together with unfiltered honesty. Sonically, imagine the campfire punk version of The Mountain Goats— acoustic strums, a whole lotta words and voices that crack just right. It’s scrappy, political, and full of heart.

Two albums in a year and both are keepers? That’s rare air. Leash Aggression proves that when it comes to sincerity and songwriting, Pigeon Pit are untouchable right now.” (AddToWantlist)
