The light is black. It reminds us of the light that illuminated the years of British post-punk. The latter summons up an art of tension and a concern for melody, a realistic and sincere gravity.

Fueled by continual questioning, endemic anxieties and dark thoughts, the band's fiery, dark sound
portrays feelings of isolation, mental duality, psychosis and paranoia. Songs based on the contrast between upfront, almost savage noise energy and melancholy pop harmonies highlight the fundamental desire to find deep, buried happiness.
NASTYJOE turns into poetry what we don't want to see, and brings out the negative side of who we are. An anti-personal development for a dark communion.
