I have to work on moving past events which can be really intense and haunt me for quite a long time or even just keep me up at night when sleep is pretty fucking important. It creeps in unexpectedly and I can be sent right fuckin' back to my own personal hell and be stuck there emotionally. I also have a VERY fun "self-destruct mode" lurking in the wings of my brain that I try my damndest to keep at bay. Survivors understand that sometimes there is a fucked comfort in holding onto trauma because at least you know it's real but simultaneously it can be hard to let go. We have to go through the stages of anger and guilt as we work toward acceptance and forgiveness of traumatic events of the past. There comes a point when you just have to let shit go and decide to really move past events or people that hold you back or who are not fully in your corner, wanting you to succeed and do well. We must still walk through this world and interact with it, holding both the world and ourselves accountable. Not overthink or "cling" on to that "stinging" from feeling physical or emotional abuse when we were burned, betrayed, or misunderstood. Because after so long, what's the benefit? The past is just that - past. Sever those ties from people, or things, or whatever it is in your mind that may be holding you back or keeping you stuck. "Severed Ties" will be on our forthcoming LP, and will also be released on vinyl in May 2022 for the Austin Music Foundation's compilation album, ATX Gen Next: Adventures In Person. About Pleasure Venom: Explosive experimental garage punk outfit Pleasure Venom of Austin, TX, explores topics of love, sex, resentment, racial injustice, and the general “absurdity of it all,” consistently blasting audiences w/ a firehose deluge of fierce femme-punk rock. In July 2018, Afropunk named Pleasure Venom one of the Top 8 New Punk Bands on the Planet, and they showcased at SXSW Music Festival in spring 2019. Momentum building, the band caught the attention of Scottish powerhouse Shirley Manson of Garbage, and they joined Garbage’s US tour in early Summer 2019. With several critically acclaimed EPs and video releases under their belt, Pleasure Venom set their sights across the pond and toured the UK while playing Loud Women Fest in London that fall. They opened for Against Me! in Austin, TX, in late December 2019. The band entered 2021 with a bang, releasing “Fascist,” and "We Get What You Deserve," and playing Levitation Festival in Austin. 2022 will see Pleasure Venom showcasing at SXSW Festival, touring, and releasing their LP. Their music and videos have been featured in NME, Kerrang!, Alt-Press, Afropunk, Okayafrica, and in numerous publications.
