As Joanna Gruesome hit the road with Perfect Pussy, it seems we won’t be getting a new LP this summer from the Welsh jangle-core (blah blah genres) pioneers. To satiate our hunger, the Gruesomes are featured on an upcoming split with the very excellent Trust Fund, to be released on gold vinyl by HHBTM (US – September 23) and Reeks of… Continue reading Joanna Gruesome at Surviving the Golden Age

Blame it on the name, but Welsh quintet Joanna Gruesome‘s Weird Sister seems to me one of the more overlooked records of 2013. Their noise-pop/hardcore hybrid variously shimmers and crushes your skull, but does both with more intensity, melody, and finesse than other active bands with similar intentions—it helps that Joanna Gruesome is not afraid to sing about… Continue reading Joanna Gruesome at Pitchfork

They’re splitting this 12″ release with Trust Fund, with three songs coming from each band; the US release will come via HHBTM in late September.

Joanna Gruesome at Sweeping the Nation
We’re off to Indietracks this weekend, as you might have reasonably imagined, where one of the big draws is going to be JoGru’s increasingly manaically ferocious presence. They and Trust Fund – he/they are there too – are releasing a split 12″, three new tracks each, on 22nd September, this first taste of which harks… Continue reading Joanna Gruesome at Sweeping the Nation
Joanna Gruesome at Impose
It’s been almost a year since the release of Joanna Gruesome’s debut LP Weird Sister. The Welsh quintet has kept busy with side projects and touring, but have only released one song since Weird Sister, a heartbreaking cover of Galaxie 500′s “Tugboat“. All that changes today with the release of the first single from a… Continue reading Joanna Gruesome at Impose

Welsh non-harpists Joanna Gruesome put out one of our favorite albums of 2013, the gritty garage effort Weird Sister. Now the band is back with news of an upcoming 12-inch split with U.K. pop act Trust Fund, which will feature three tracks from each band. Jerome (Liar) is one of Joanna Gruesome’s contributions to the that split, a track that artfully… Continue reading Joanna Gruesome at CMJ
