Taken from their debut album "Weird Sister."

Thrilling Cardiff-based noisepop five-piece Joanna Gruesome will be releasing their terrific debut album via Fortuna POP! (Europe) and Slumberland (USA) in September. Brimming with irresistible pop melodies and spiked with dissonant fuzzy jangle, their songs are shot through with loud discordant feedback and super-fast, hardcore punk drumbeats. This album sees their first foray away from recording in a living room to a proper studio under the guidance of producer MJ of the much lauded Hookworms.

Kicking it against sexism and homophobia, nothing is off-limits, drawing inspiration from DIY scenes such as Riot Grrrl/noisepop/C86 /K Records as well as post hardcore like Drive Like Jehu/Converge and the art rock of The Velvet Underground and My Bloody Valentine, Joanna Gruesome offer a staggeringly diverse album, unexpectedly quiet and surprisingly loud.

Joanna Gruesome comprise Alanna on vocals, Owen on guitar, Max on bass, George on guitar and Dave on drums. They all met in an anger management counseling group. During the course they were told that writing, making music, dancing or painting could relieve tension and help reduce feelings of anger. One initiative involved a project where they were assigned a group to compose and perform a song in front of other members. Initially they found each other infuriating but gradually acknowledged their musical chemistry and decided to continue with the band outside the therapy group.

Most of the album was written during a month long stay in a seedy west Brighton hotel (now closed down) called The Hell House. The residents were pretty strange, kept attempting occult rituals/using Ouija boards etc and many of the songs were written to distract from the weirdness. Heart-wrenching and exhilarating in equal measure, these are not cheerful songs.

Awash with nods to mental illness and the dark recesses of the mind, the record is littered with references to the devil or zombies and allusions to comic books. “Secret Surprise”, in which mental illness takes a physical form and is fought using razor blades. Or "Anti-Parent Cowboy Killers," which is about stealing a scooter and driving it into the ocean when you should be in school LEARNING. Or "Sugarcrush," about spending a summer burning knitwear.

They have built-up a phenomenal live reputation, blending obnoxiously loud guitars and the occasional band uniform, with a high energy performance dispersed with quieter reflection, boy/girl vocals and teenage angst.

“Abrasion, anger, attitude. One guitarist is in the audience, but this isn’t too much of a stretch. There are slower parts where the musicians take a second to breath. There are noisier bits where the musicians take a second to reflect. There are thumpy bits where the musicians take a second to dance and enjoy themselves. Everyone’s smiling. Everyone’s hugging themselves. What a glorious mess of a noise to be a part of. What a glorious sense of community.” Everett True, Collapse Board
 
"A brilliant band from Cardiff who love their fuzzy melodies and songs dripped in scuzzy reverb." Huw Stephens, Radio One.

“Oh my gosh, SO good! This is the kind of music that literally makes you go crazy on the nearest dancefloor. As tried and tested on my living room carpet!”
ANNIE MAC, BBC RADIO 1

Following recent releases "Stampede" on Skrillex's OWSLA label and “Don’t Like To Do” on Claude Von Stroke’s Dirtybird label, Cause & Affect (aka Chris Lorenzo & Kane) return with a huge new single "Another Time" feat. Jamie George, out June 22nd on Fat! Records.

Birmingham-based producer / DJ duo Cause & Affect, aka Chris Lorenzo and Kane, are widely acknowledged for pioneering the UK House / Bass hybrid sound. Big releases on legendary labels OWSLA, Dirtybird, Strictly Rhythm and Bromance, recent killer remixes for Grades, Shift K3y and Ten Ven & Ripley, plus a ground-breaking weekly show on Rinse FM, has seen them secure incredible, international radio and media support, making fans out of the likes of Skrillex, Claude Von Stroke, Annie Mac, Steve Aoki and Diplo along the way.

On "Another Time", Cause & Affect team up with Rinse Records vocalist Jamie George (known for his work with Zinc, Toddla T and Roska) - marrying a ridiculously catchy, topline melody with their monstrous, burrowing basslines.

With a phenomenal remix package courtesy of Taiki Nulight, Sinden, Ganzfeld Effect, Knoxa and Jakkin Rabbit, Another Time is set to take the club and festival stages by storm this summer, launching with a very special, debut live performance of Another Time, with Cause & Affect accompanied by Jamie George, at Fabric on June 19th.
