Sacramento’s rock scene has long been a source for amazing bands. O! The Joy is the next big thing to come from this city of indie rock angels.
This atypical band, born from the ashes of Mister Metaphor (former project of Justin Goings, O! the Joy’s drummer), succeeds in creating a
perfect harmony between a wide range of genres, from krautrock to emo. There’s something really catchy that grabs you when you first hear the
abounding universe of O! The Joy. Their amazing tunes and musicality focus your attention on their talent. The melodies take over until the
music rises and begins to lead you in some unexpected territories. You won’t have what you expected you’d get, but you’ll be rewarded a
thousand times with what you are about to listen to. Their music takes some unpredictable paths when the songwriting explodes to reveal the
amazing personality of the band. O! The Joy represents a remarkable crossover of styles, which makes their sound hard to label. Perhaps
calling them an experimental pop band, although simplistic, would do. Vocalist Kurt Travis’ singings are moving. He possesses a punchy and
sensitive voice that plays a key role in the expanse of the music, just above the instrumentation. He is the gateway to the richness of the
compositions. Guitarist Jason Ellis plays the most experimental role in the band, assisted by Justin Goings on methodic and polyrhythmic
drums and cymbals. Both Goings and Ellis play constantly to create complex structures, putting adventurous ideas on the table in unexpected
directions. « hide |
