Rising from the smoking embers of several leading Merseyside acts, newcomers Pure Joy serve up hot, psych-heavy, filthy garage-rock candy tinged with patches of late-60s American psychedelia, buzzy Motor City riffage, and decades of pop, ranging from the pastoral sounds of Ray Davies to the vivid expansiveness of Kurt Vile and the Antipodean warmth of Tame Impala.

Their debut album, Bang Flower is released on the 1st April on Fresh Goods / Republic Of Music. For now, stream the anthemic sun-blasted driving pulse of first single, Katie’s Gone Home.
