Everything's better with a little doom and gloom. At least, that's the rule that Jasamine White-Gluz and Laura Lloyd of Canuck fuzzed out shoegaze (or "shitgaze", as they sometimes refer to it) group No Joy seem to live by. Recently, the Montreal-based duo, who are known for churning out "party anthems for depressed people", put their own spin on The Shangri Las' (yes, those Shangri Las) 60's girl group hit, "He Cried", leaving us with something along the lines of what would happen if a teenybopper put down her Tiger Beat and picked up a whole mess of opiates. Stream or snag the track (at the price of your email address) off of No Joy's upcoming split 7" with Marnie Stern.And peep No Joy on the road!
