Joy Cleaner – Pink Lite

Joy Cleaner officially drop their new single and video titled ‘Pink Lite’. In the tradition started by bands such as Hüsker Dü and The Lemonheads, Joy Cleaner delivers that smooth guitar-driven sound and groove-centric rhythm that gives the listener that casual smirk letting them know that good independent music is alive and well in bands like Joy Cleaner.

ABOUT JOY CLEANER

After playing in numerous indie rock and punk bands together across North Jersey since 2009, guitarist Joey DeGroot and bassist Kyle Wilkerson formed Joy Cleaner in late 2015, almost as a challenge to themselves to take a more mature, accessible, and deliberate approach to songwriting. Following the release of their debut album on Jigsaw Records, 2017’s Total Hell, Joy Cleaner was praised for their strong hooks and full embrace of power pop songwriting, with many comparing their sound to Teenage Fanclub, Guided By Voices, and The Lemonheads.

2018 saw the addition of drummer Justin Grabosky, after which the band hit the road for several tours of the Northeast, Midwest, and South, including a stop at the 2018 Athens Popfest. The band spent spring 2019 in the studio with producer Josh Evensen of Where Is My Spaceship, recording their sophomore LP, which is slated for release in late 2019.

ABOUT ‘PINK LITE’

The Pink Lite intro riff happened during the first practice we had with Justin. I was playing Joey’s guitar and we jammed on that riff for a few minutes and quickly moved on to something else. I don’t think anyone thought much of that riff but one night I wrote down some notes during an acid trip, which became the lyrics, and figured out the rest of the song real quick.
