Earlier this year, Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast tweeted, Dude, NO JOY is the best band ever. two hot blonde girls just shredding away. sooooo amazing. And that pretty much sums it up No Joy is Laura Lloyd and Jasmine White-Gluz, two chick rockers who split their time between Montreal and L.A. and write torrential shoegaze tunes, heavy with foggy guitars, aerial vocals, and blissed-out feedback. The musics hazy like a hot day at the beach, but theres a dark tinge to it. A promo photo of the band depicts the girls standing in front of a sign that breviloquently reads, you will die, and their name is, after all, No Joy. Its shadowy stuff. No Joy will release their first full-length, Ghost Blonde, on November 16. With La Sera, Seapony. ERIN K. THOMPSON
