In 2018, Afropunk named Pleasure Venom one of the Top 8 New Punk Bands on the Planet, and they showcased at SXSW in Spring 2019. The band caught the attention of Shirley Manson of Garbage, and they joined Garbage’s US tour in early Summer 2019 and toured the UK that fall. They opened for Against Me! in late 2019. After regrouping in 2020, the band entered 2021 with a bang, releasing two singles and playing Austin's LEVITATION. 2022 has seen the band opening for the Spits and playing the Linda Perry EqualizeHER and Punk Black showcases during SXSW Festival, releasing a new single, opening for Bikini Kill, and featuring on the “Queer as Folk” reboot. They performed at the 2022 ACL Festival and are slated to open for L7 during LEVITATION. They have been featured in NME, Kerrang!, Alt-Press, Afropunk, and more. Lead vocalist Audrey Campbell was accepted into the Recording Academy in 2022. ABOUT “We Get What You Deserve“: White Supremacy, Racism and Police Brutality are a festering sore in America. Swept under the rug for many, many years, these issues finally came to a head and erupted in 2020. In ‘We Get What You Deserve,’ Pleasure Venom visually and sonically illustrates this eruption in a fast-paced montage of incendiary imagery overlaid by lead singer Audrey Campbell’s imploring shrieks to her congregation from her stage, her podium, her throne. “‘We Get What You Deserve’ is about how ‘we’ the populace receive what those in power really DO deserve for their fascism and capitalistic greed - we are the unheard and unseen majority of minorities and middle-to-lower-class Americans getting the worst of it in an unjust and oppressive world. We hope we all can take some time and make it a priority to think about how we navigate our own paths and what part we play in all this. It is important for America to look at ourselves, past and present, to work toward a better, more progressive and unified future. If we choose to ignore it, history will continue to repeat itself, and we fear we will all consume the good in each other until there is nothing left. The time to prioritize race issues in America and across the globe is now.” - Pleasure Venom INTRO: Getting tired of living this shit VERSE 1: Getting tired of living this shit This fucking blur I'm fucking over it I blazed you away But you won’t go the distance (You) Just can't figure it out They're living in the fucking clouds Foaming out their mouths CHORUS: Sovereign We get what you deserve Sovereign (2x) Oh the sky Open wide For me BREAK/BRIDGE: Stop I just want to go outside and play with my friends but misinformation causes severe unrest all over the unknown pavement Stop VERSE 2: Oblivion in the holds of a liar Can only salivate in my mire Your lips drip venom Ensnared in the hazes of my mind Bleak unrest All over you CHORUS: Sovereign We get what you deserve Sovereign (2x) Oh the sky Open wide For me, for me, for me #rock #punk #afropunk
