No Joy is a Canadian alternative/shoegaze band that was formed in late 2009 by Jasamine White-Gluz and Laura Lloyd. Known for their dreamy, atmospheric soundscapes, the band has captivated audiences with their unique blend of shoegaze and indie rock. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Young Prisms, Tamaryn, and Ringo Deathstarr, No Joy creates music that is both ethereal and captivating. With their mesmerizing melodies and powerful guitar-driven sound, No Joy has established themselves as one of the leading bands in the shoegaze genre.

Since their formation, No Joy has released several critically acclaimed albums and EPs, including "Wait to Pleasure" and "More Faithful." Their music showcases a perfect balance between hazy vocals and swirling guitars, creating an immersive sonic experience for listeners. The band's ability to create lush textures and intricate layers sets them apart from other artists in the genre.

With a dedicated fan base around the world, No Joy continues to push boundaries with their music. Their live performances are known for being intense and captivating, leaving audiences wanting more. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the shoegaze scene, No Joy's music is sure to transport you into a dreamlike state.

Montreal's No Joy follow up their sophomore LP, 'Wait to Pleasure', with 'Pastel And Pass Out', a new 12" to coincide with their upcoming European tour. Engineered by Jorge Elbrecht, the EP finds the trio shredding through a similar soundscape: striking a balance between the blistering walls of noise they're renowned for, with airy, expansive atmospherics that allow the songs to breathe and the melodies to seep through. Opener 'Last Boss' showcases this dynamic, with Jasamine White-Gluz's airy vocals dancing around the clear space of the verses, before the chorus' wall of pummeling guitars fill all voids. 'Star Child is Dead's buzz-saw guitars ascend to a druggy, blissed-out peak, whilst 'Second Spine' might be the band's poppiest song yet: comparatively stripped back, allowing for the gorgeous melody and backing vocal coos to properly shine.
