In tough times, music can be the way through. With an expertise in fuzzy riffs, melodic heaviness, high energy and sharp lyrics, Sick Joy are one of British rocks most promising young bands.

Even their start was a challenge to be beaten. Originally formed in Newcastle, the band soon relocated to Brighton in order to be part of a bigger music scene. That is, singer/guitarist Mykl Barton installed a bed in the back of the bands van and lived and slept in there.

Quickly, though, the move began to pay off. Their Amateurs EP announced them as something exciting, with some describing them as straddling the melodic genius of The Pixies and the raw energy of Slipknot. Off the back of the EP, the band received huge support from BBC Radio 1, Kerrang! Radio and Radio X. Live, meanwhile, their shows with the likes of Feeder, Dinosaur Pile-Up and Demob Happy fully demonstrated Sick Joys infectious vitality and power.

Now they return with the roaring, fuzzy alt.rock explosion of their debut album, WE'RE ALL GONNA F***ING DIE. With Mykl saying that he can only really write about universal themes (Everyone knows about love, sex, death, sadness), despite its title, its a record that actually leans into a great deal of joy.
