The Variants

Portland, Oregon

The Variants are a transwoman lead five-piece rock band from Portland, OR. They have been creating danceable, socially minded music since 2016. Last year, NPRmusic called them “the most Pacific Northwest band” and “punk rock”, but their music fiercely refuses to be easily described—Genre, like gender, is a palate to use, rather than a lane to ride in.
