Somewhere Between

Lyrics:
He would walk into a room
and the room changed
I saw him smoke and tie his shoe
He called my name
I am so in love with him
I can feel the weight

Goodbye Bread

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.

Joanna Gruesome - Secret Surprise

Born in Hawaii and raised in both Southern California and Israel, singer/songwriter Sara Lov started playing music alongside pianist Dustin O'Halloran when they formed the dream pop duo Devics in 1993. The group later moved to Italy and signed with Bella Union, a U.K.-based record label run by Cocteau Twins bassist Simon Raymonde. Devics released 5 full length albums, several ep’s and toured extensively all over the world. In 2008, Lov began a solo career and teamed with producer and collaborator Zac Rae ( Death Cab for Cutie, Fiona Apple). Together they recorded 3 full length albums Seasoned Eyes Were Beaming in 2009 and I Already Love You (an album of cover songs) in 2011. Lov spent 2009/2010 touring in Europe and the US, her songs appeared in TV shows Bones, Grey's Anatomy, One Tree Hill, United States of Tara, Looking and Rectify. In 2015, Sara Lov & Zac Rae finished recording Some Kind of Champion an album of originals by Sara Lov and collaborators Dustin O'Halloran, Hauschka, Scott Leahy, Zac Rae & Jonathan Price. The album was released in late 2015 and was funded by her fans via Pledgemusic. Sara worked with various directors to create videos for 7 songs on the album. She recently went back to the studio with Dustin O'Halloran to record vocals for the Amazon series Transparent. Her voice is featured throughout the 4th Season as part of the musical score. Currently, Sara is writing new songs for her 4th solo album.
