About Preoccupations

Preoccupations is a Canadian post-punk band from Calgary, Alberta, formed in 2012 under the name Viet Cong. The band includes Matt Flegel (vocals, bass), Scott Munro (guitar, synth), Daniel Christiansen (guitar), and Mike Wallace (drums). Flegel and Wallace were previously members of the band Women, which disbanded in 2010. The group's musical style has been described as "labyrinthine post-punk." They have released five studio albums: Viet Cong (2015), Preoccupations (2016), New Material (2018), Arrangements (2022), and Ill At Ease (2025).
