World of Joy

A collaborative, snotty burst of midwestern garage punk and surf rock, trading bedroom-pop polish for sweaty, live-in-the-room energy and leather-jacket swagger.

March 24, 2014 · High Note Records

Snotty, high-energy garage rock swagger with a restless, late-night edge.

Moments Worth Listening For

The sudden, crashing tempo shift on 'Indictment' that channels the chaotic energy of early Replacements.

The unexpected, noisy drone of a heavily processed sitar weaving through the title track 'World of Joy.'

The snotty vocal delivery on 'Don't Wanna' when Jordan Gatesmith drops the self-referential line about Johnny Marr's band.
