Oh Joy - Are set to release new EP 'Good Grief'

The joy of being inspired by the legends

Oh Joy are set to release a new EP entitled 'Good Grief' on June 8th. The band who jokingly describe themselves as “mope rock” follow up two critically acclaimed singles that came out last year. The miserabilist tag is something the band embrace but that melancholy is equally drenched in humour and their intention is to subvert the depressing Rock band stereotype. The video for lead single 'Cab Sad' perfectly sums up that over the top melodrama juxtaposed with knowing wit, you can see the music video for this song at the bottom of this page.

Previous single 'So Swell' was likened to 'Frightened Rabbit' by The Line of best Fit, a fitting comparison considering both band’s playful, almost ironic Gloom. The new EP follows a similar path but these new songs are fuller, more accomplished, more adult. First single 'Cab Sad' is a song about falling in love and how it can make you feel like a pathetic mess. Ollie Moyles, the lead songwriter wrote the song while experiencing relationship troubles... Oh Joy take inspiration from the likes of Leonard Cohen, Elliot Smith and Father John Misty. Artists who can communicate pain with humour and a knowing nod to the ridiculousness of it all.
