Following the release of their new 6-track EP Oh, The Joy, North Wales-based noisey-alternative-punks, GRAVVES have shared the new video for This Is Bliss.
The video sees the trio each try, and fail in spectacular fashion, to break a world record. ‘There’s not too much of a meaning behind the video, it’s not deep or anything,’ bassist Adam Hughes said. ‘It’s just us three trying to break a world record each, and making a mess along the way.’
Having already performed at Sound City Festival, Wrong Festival and Focus Wales Festival in support of Oh, The Joy, Gravves will take to the road again over the next month for a string of shows:
26 MAY 2018 – Llanidloes UK, Kingsfest
27 MAY 2018 – Birmingham UK, Wagon & Horses
20 JUN 2018 – London UK, Aces and 8’s (Artrocker Showcase)
21 JUN 2018 – London UK, Sebright Arms
Matching witty, tongue-in-cheek lyrics to jagged guitars, Gravves are noise merchants bar none.
They occupy a space where punk fury, alt-rock hugeness and truly infectious songs coexist. Blasts of vicious feedback live alongside a swagger ladened with naggingly catchy hooks.
Oh, The Joy is loud, infectious and downright cataclysmic – The 6 new songs showcases a band taking aim at bigger things.
‘We’re super excited that people can finally hear the new songs we’ve been working on.’ said vocalist Adam Hughes. ‘The EP took us a bit longer than it should of to finish, but we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We are now just looking ahead to losing our voices and breaking our bodies on the road.’
Oh, The Joy follows the bands 2017 debut EP Rattle, also released through Liverpool-based Loner Noise Records. Singles Tribes and My Pet Rihanna received widespread airplay by the likes of BBC Radio 6, BBC Radio Wales, Amazing Radio and Kerrang! Radio. The release also received numerous gleaming reviews online, being described as ‘a bratty, scuzzy brand of balls-out grunge rock, bursting with snarling punk attitude.’
