Joie De Vivre have split
Genuinely a bit gutted about this, did anyone else like them? They were one of the very best of the new wave of 90s-emo-style bands. They sound like Mineral, Christie Front Drive, The Promise Ring, that kind of twinkly midwest stuff, summery and achingly sad. If you like any of those bands you should check out the EP (Summer Months) and the album (The North End). The EP's a bit more raw and immediate but the album's a real grower too. Sad times, I'd really hoped they would make it over to the UK sometime :(
