The Variants

We are a transwoman lead five-piece rock band from Portland, OR. We have been creating danceable, socially minded music since 2016. Last year, NPRmusic called us “the most Pacific Northwest band” and “punk rock”, but our music fiercely refuses to be easily described—Genre, like gender, is a palate to use, rather than a lane to ride in for us. We released our first album, “Hey There, Voyeur” in 2017 and we have our second album in the works now. We are releasing our single, “Won’t Be Erased” on May 20th, 2019.
