Meet Patti

Of no relation to Patti Smith, meet Patti the band — some post-punk shredders making excellently erratic noise. These fellahs are an enigmatic bunch — who is Patti, after all? — so we called them up to see what makes them tick.

Their latest release, Good Big, is set to come out October 1st. Below, we chat about beef (plural), grills (not that kind), and penguins (yes, penguins).

Give it a read and a listen below. And always look both ways before you cross the street.
