Crayon's Questions

Passionless Pointless is a three piece band from Berlin consisting of Evelyn (guitar/vocals), Jyoti (drums) and Kate (bass/vocals). The band’s
name alludes to the PJ Harvey song of the same name. Bringing qualities of the ferocity of punk and darker, sludgier sounds, combined with
melodic vocals and catchy guitar riffs, Passionless Pointless are bringing back the 90’s grunge sound, with a twist. Their self-titled debut album was released in February 2021. Kate is answering the questions.
