What it is

Problem Patterns are four shouty queers from Northern Ireland who write songs for right now, swapping roles and instruments to get their point across about whatever angers them this week.

After many lonely nights screaming alone in their bedrooms over the state of the world, Alanah, Bethany, Bev and Ciara came together in 2018 to invent a new genre they called PUNK. It's shouty, it's heavy, it's tongue in cheek, it's inclusive, it's hopeful and it's fun.

The four DIY punk dads are all about creating havoc in celebratory and cathartic spaces.
