THE JOYS
It could be because they’ve been certified Gold in Canada, or possibly
because they play around 200 shows a year across North America. Maybe
the fantastic live show… what makes Canadian rock group The Joys so
appealing? First Coast News was quoted saying,
“This is a band that is the very ideal of what a professional band
is all about. If you were to open a musical Who's Who, there would be a
picture of The Joys album Unfold next to the words...band that has it
all together. This male/female combo is a super sharp, highly refined
and ridiculously tight unit that is so skillful and adept that it's
amazing that they're not the hugest band in the Great White North. That
being said, Unfold sounds like it was pieced together precisely by a
team of German physicists and engineers hell-bent on designing the
perfect alt-rock album.”
At this point all you have is a resume and some hype to build an
opinion on, and we all know that until the songs are pumping through
your car speakers or a set of headphones in a dark room, facts don’t
mean anything.
The Joys gravitated toward each other to create music, openly share
their ideas, ideals and dreams within the vehicle of songwriting and
then bring their vision to the public stage with a sonic boom. The Joys
are on a journey to discover the truths of life, share their victories
and defeat, capture the beauty and power of life, love, anger and all
the tapestries of the human conditions in between not only on record,
but to the platform in front of a live audience to share their stories,
with raw, powerful and electrifying energy.
Fronted by Sarah Smith with her powerful voice, charismatic and
theatrical stage presence, Mikey McKyes lighting the sky with
unforgettable riffs and stratospheric guitar leads, Ken Ross thumping
out melodic and heart pounding bass lines gluing the band together with
Kevin Komatsu, beating musically primal chants on his drum kit. A trip
to the past, where rock was about capturing feeling and emotion married
to a contemporary sound taking us away to a future of endless
possibilities filled with the questions and answers of life.
