Don't even think of overlooking New Orleans' self-proclaimed \"anarcho-spice\" trio JOY, makers of a dementially stunning Crass inspired aggresive and confrontional post-punk, that is releasing their first reference on our recurrent Portland label, Girslville!
\"A guitar/bass/drums trio with the latter element, Griz Palella, chipping in extra electronics and sharing vocals with guitarist Pasha Jovanovic, at various points Joy sounds – to me – like Fugazi, The Mob, Shopping, The Slits, Chicks On Speed (mid-EP dancepunker ‘Daj Mi’, and I probably could have namechecked someone with even less 2020 cred in truth) and NOLA neighbours Special Interest, if only because I’d like to think a band that inspiring are, well, inspiring others in their locale. Joy also strike me - who admittedly has a tin ear for these matters - as a band who could get seriously popular, and far beyond where this column normally treads. It seems daft that I appear to be writing their first review, frankly.\" - Noel Gardner, The Quietus
