North East rock band Sick Joy release ‘messed up love song’

North East rock band Sick Joy, have released a brand-new single following a successful UK tour. 

The two-piece band, which is made up of Mykyl on vocals and guitar and Sam on drums, have released their brand-new track Hypodermic Sunshine, which has been produced by Dom Craik of Nothing But Thieves.

Their new single is their third release of the year, following the tracks Turn Me Up and Painkiller. 

Sick Joy released their debut album WE’RE ALL GONNA F***ING DIE, last year.  Speaking on their debut album vocalist and guitarist Mykl explained: “For me, that title is 

a positive.

“I realised, ‘it’s going to be over one day, man. So do whatever the f**k you’re gonna do, and have a good time.

“Don’t let fear decide where you’re going to go. We’re all going to die. So get out and kill it, man.”

Sick Joy have just finished a UK tour, where they performed in the likes of Middlesbrough, Oxford, Cambridge, Norwich and Bournemouth.

Speaking on their newest track Hypodermic Sunshine, Mykl explained: “It’s kind of a messed up love song, saying hello to the things that help you through s**t times.”

When asked what inspired the track, Mykl said: “You never sit down and think about what song you’re going to write, it just comes out naturally.”

Sick Joy enjoyed their UK tour, as Mykl said: “It’s been rad, really fun, and the crowds have been good.”

Hypodermic Sunshine recently gained national radio play, being featured on BBC Introducing Rock with Alyx Holcombe.
