History
In a 2019 interview with Tone Dead, frontman Jack Sniff said: 'We were just mates from school. We just started playing together in a garage, then a trivia night and then to the Battle of the Bands. A year goes by and we were still hanging out, jamming, making songs and not really thinking too much about anything. Then, we supported our mates' band and started playing maybe once a week and then started playing three times a week for a good year and a half or two years, maybe.
So, there was a big period where we were nonstop doing hard gigging.' In May 2017, Pist Idiots released their debut single 'Fuck Off', the lead single from their debut self-titled EP. Following the EP's release, the band toured with The Gooch Palms and Skegss. In July 2018, they released their second EP, Princes, which spawned the singles 'Leave It At That' and 'Smile'.
Their third EP, Ticker, came out in September 2018 and was their first to be released on vinyl, preceded by the singles 'Motor Runnin'', 'Roundhouse' and 'Ticker'. On 10 September 2021, Pist Idiots released their debut studio album, Idiocracy, produced by Alex Cameron and Chris Collins.
