Problem Patterns

Heading into the latter half of a decade together, Problem Patterns are well-seasoned and only getting weirder. Refusing the notion of softening with age, the band are constantly pushing themselves through their musical output whilst keeping their roots political and feminist.

Winners of the Northern Ireland Music Prize in 2024, 2025 has seen the band head to international stages with NXNE in Toronto, Canada and Motel Mozaique in Rotterdam, NL. They recently supported The Mary Wallopers at the SSE Arena in Belfast with upcoming tour plans taking them across Ireland and the UK.

Their latest release highlights the band’s collective musical growth while not shying away from the outspoken, chaotic spirit they’ve become renowned for.
