Further Joy

Description

Perfectly imperfect thats one way to describe LA based punk act, The Regrettes. Writing songs that proudly bear a brazen and unabashed attitude in the vein of acts Courtney Barnett or Karen O with a pop aesthetic reminiscent of 50s and 60s acts a la the Temptations or Buddy Holly the LA based four piece create infectious, punk driven numbers. From the opening moments on a track by The Regrettes, were greeted with a wall of guitars, infectious melodies and a wistful nostalgia that continues right until the final notes. Taking cues from acts like Hinds and Hole, theres a wistful sense of youth and vulnerability that lies at the heart of each song. Further Joy serves as the bands third full-length effort. Primary songwriter/vocalist Lydia Knight on the new release to Dork, It feels like us finding ourselves and becoming adults in a lot of ways. Its a lot of focusing inward and growing up, a lot of self-realisation. I know that I love it; I think its the best thing weve ever put out. Hopefully, other people will relate to it, given the fucked up climate we live in.
