No Joy is a Canadian shoegaze and alternative rock band that emerged from the vibrant Montreal music scene. Initially formed as a duo in 2009 by Jasamine White-Gluz and Laura Lloyd, the band has since evolved in terms of lineup and sound while retaining White-Gluz as the principal songwriter and creative force. Renowned for their fusion of ethereal textures and noise-driven soundscapes, No Joy crafts a sonic palette that's both introspective and raucous, encapsulating the essence of shoegaze while pushing its boundaries.

Over the years, No Joy's discography has expanded with a consistent output that showcases their artistic growth and willingness to experiment. Their 2020 album "Motherhood" serves as a testament to this evolution, blending genres like trip-hop, electronic, and nu-metal with their signature swirl of guitars. The EP "Can My Daughter See Me From Heaven," released in 2021, further demonstrates the band's versatility, reimagining songs from "Motherhood" with orchestral and acoustic arrangements. Whether collaborating with other artists, like Alissa White-Gluz on "Dream Rats," or diving into remix culture with tracks like "Noisemaker (No Joy Remix)," No Joy continues to captivate audiences with their unique and expansive approach to music.
