Shimmering Pop from Joanna Gruesome

joannagruesomeThe kids in Joanna Gruesome are already having a great year; they should be happy to find a home on such an incredible label like Slumberland Records.  That being said, the more I hear from the band, the more likely it seems that it’ll be a banner year for the group.  Sure, you can see similarities to label mates Pains of Being Pure at Heart, but they do it with their own sense of reckless abandon and added flare.  While the song trots along, you’re not ready for the noisy outro that takes place just beyond the two minute mark.  Like every band, they make nods to their heroes, but in doing so, they also make it entirely their own; I applaud them for that.  Their album Weird Sister will be out on September 10th.

Check Out New Rock from Joanna Gruesome

joannagruesomeA long while ago I posted a hit from Joanna Gruesome, and it appears Slumberland Records were watching, as they just picked up the Cardiff group to release the band’s debut album, Weird Sister.  On the first single from said album, the group comes out with a rioting rock taste, blasting off noisily.  But, one of the reason’s I love the band is evident in the track too; they pull back from the barrage of noise and add a sweetness to the track, with softer melodies and a bit of serenity….of course they blast right back off again.  You can grab the album from the group on September 10th when it hits stores.
