    NOLA Electro Peace Punk.
    Each tape comes with a JOY badge, til I run out.

    "a wailing, weirdly catchy cacophony of kilterless groove punk perfect for throwing a brick through a Starbucks window, or just getting cigarette burns on your older sister’s Pylon shirt."
    Zachary Lipez, Abundant Living

    "Joy is a New Orleans trio that makes crusty peace punk, mixing This Heat and Rudimentary Peni into Killing Joke's industrial intensity."
    Tracy Wilson, Turntable Report

    “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 … and NOLA neighbours Special Interest, if only because I’d like to think a band that inspiring are, well, inspiring others in their locale.”
    Noel Gardner, The Quietus

    "Midfi, crystal clear angular punk songs that are equally catchy and discordant. Scratchy, taught guitar over tight baselines and metronomic drums aligned with astute, deadpan vocals and excellent songwriting. They really have it all. Not a dull moment in this release." Sims, (ig @u2_is_a_government_drone)

DIRTY 03:27
Stand at attention you're never alone Display affection, demand attention Worth the investment, your thoughts are not your own Display affection, demand attention Packaged and pristine, the illusion of control Display affection, manufactured connection Value in a vacuum, let's monetize it all Wow what a show, demand attention Dirty, I'm dirty, I'm dirty, I'm dirt. They don't have to watch you, you publish where you've been Display affection, demand attention Privacy's a small price to pay for being seen Display affection, demand attention

Success above all else The winner takes the rotting crown The gentleman risks nothing Our great protector Violence is his preference Success above all else Cock the gun and dress Their wounds with the other hand, This man deserves your respect Violence demands respect Success above all else The winner takes the rotting crown The gentleman risks nothing but, Our, our hands Violence is his language Success above all else Cock the gun and dress Their wounds with the other hand This man deserves your respect Violence deserves respect Success above all else The winner takes the rotting crown The gentleman risks nothing but, Our, our hands

Idols of perversity A woman's place is on the cross Sickly and bedridden Barefoot and pregnant Idols of perversity They only like you when you're serving time Flattery is the dull edge Persistent as the rising tide Where is the needles eye if not the upturned nose? Property, possession, perversion, obsession Your body's nothing more than a currency site of extraction, a mine, an attraction
5.
A race to the top Pay your rent on time for once Just 30% of your income Just 30% of your earnings Only just begun, but I'm exhausted Sew your dollars up, your decorated shame Sew your dollars up, your decorated shame A rush to the head Family inherits your debt A new way to bury the dead While they're still living Only just begun, but I'm exhausted Sew your dollars up, your decorated shame Sew your dollars up, your decorated shame
