Sick Joy

Sick Joy is a dynamic alternative rock band that has been stirring the musical pot with their gritty and evocative soundscapes. The band's inception can be traced back to their roots in the seaside city of Brighton, England, before they relocated to the pulsating heart of Newcastle. Their music—a raw and infectious blend of grunge-tinged melodies and indie rock vigor—has been resonating with fans across the UK and beyond.

With a discography punctuated by a gritty and unapologetic attitude, Sick Joy's recent releases such as "Hypodermic Sunshine" and "Turn Me Up" showcase their ability to balance scathing social commentary with hook-laden choruses. Their songs, like "Painkiller" and "WE'RE ALL GONNA F***ING DIE," are potent anthems for the disillusioned, capturing the angst and restlessness of a generation. The band's collaborative spirit is epitomized by the track "belly aching beast," which features Jamie Lenman, adding another layer of intensity to their sound. From the introspective "talking to the drugs" to the confrontational "i've got more than i need (and I don't have much)," Sick Joy continues to carve out their niche in the rock scene with their unrelenting energy and authentic voice.
