SICK JOY RELEASE NEW SINGLE 'HISTORY

Sick Joy has revealed their brand new single 'History'. The track arrives soon after the release of their latest EP, Them Days. Them Days was released in September via SO Recordings, and will be followed by a run of headline UK concerts throughout November.

 Implemented with a solid and hazy bass, firm and poised drums, luscious guitars and resolute powerful vocal performance, 'History' beams with a sharp spotlight on the dusty and dark side of the band.

 Lead singer / guitarist Mykl comments, "It's about accepting responsibility and working out what your own role in things was, and what you could have done differently. Putting your hands up and saying I was to blame too. Righting some wrongs in a very passive way."

 Directing their irresistible swagger and consistent apprehension of 90's grunge, Sick Joy are initiating the revival of the kind, binding every angsty stroke with a strong share of overwhelming anthemic energy.

 'History' is an independent single that supports the release of their new EP Them Days, highlighting both of their former singles 'Vibe Sucker' and 'Shoot Your Lover.' The band has been getting a colossal backing from radio counterparts such as Radio 1, 6Music and Radio X, as well as innumerable magazines including Kerrang, Clash and Upset. "It's all in its name," explains Mykl. "All of the songs were written around the same time, a period of a few months, which was kind of heavy but defining. They're all hashed together parts of things that were going on around and how they affected myself, the other guys, the band, everything really."

 "All of the artwork across the releases are from the walks I took at night to just take in some real life and breathe. A lot of the lyrics and stuff were written on those walks so it's like a tour of its infancy. We had a space we played in and the songs came together properly up there too so each step of it coming together was really segregated from everything else."We went back up north to record and got a house too. We all lived together with our producer too and just lived it. We tried not to care about being a 3-piece band and just wanted to make a good record that we really dug. Something that was different from what we normally are but that we still enjoyed. I'm really proud of it and I can look back on everything that went into making it both good and bad, and be happy. That's the whole point really."

 Sick Joy will be heading out on a headline tour in November with shows all over the country including in Newcastle, Glasgow, London, and Bristol.
