Listen to Sick Joy’s new single i’ve got more than i need (and i don’t have much), taken from their upcoming debut WE’RE ALL GONNA F***ING DIE.
As they gear up to hit the road on a UK tour starting tonight (March 10), Sick Joy have just announced details of their debut album WE’RE ALL GONNA F***ING DIE.
To coincide with the news, the trio have also unveiled new single i’ve got more than i need (and i don’t have much), of which singer/guitarist Mykl Barton explains: "It came from a feeling of exasperation towards trying to process some things from my past that I’d been dealing with in damaging ways and realising it. I didn’t have space in my head to be clever or dance around stuff lyrically, it was just emphatically, 'This is what this is and I can see it now. Like, fuck, this is heavy and it hurts, but there’s a vein of fighting back flowing through it too.'
"It’s a flagship of the theme and message that runs through the album, this positive nihilism. It’s a linear story of the whole process I was going through, anger, sadness, doubt, fear and ultimately, hope and empowerment."
WE’RE ALL GONNA F***ING DIE is due out on July 8 via SO Recordings.
