Joy In Motion Usher In A New Era With New Single “Wasting Away”
Following the release of their EP “Stardust” back in 2021 and playing only a handful of shows the following year, including one where they opened up for Real Friends, the Brisbane-based alternative 5-piece Joy In Motion return with their first single in 2 years “Wasting Away”. “Wasting Away” marks a shift in their sound from a softer, melodic pop sound heard in their previous works “Stardust” and “Falling Out” to a more heavier and energetic return to their rock roots. With intensive guitar playing, hard hitting drumming, angry screaming and even a breakdown, “Wasting Away” gets loud and right in your face instantly dealing with toxic environments. The vengeful single also features the debut of Jackson Lehane as their second guitarist.
“People who I thought were my friends turned out to be snakes who either contributed to or turned a blind eye to some despicable behavior shown to me by superiors. I felt like I was wasting away at that job, which inspired this song and a few future tracks too.”
From Brisbane, Australia, Joy In Motion have made a name for themselves in their music scene since releasing their debut EP “Falling Out” in 2017 with its upbeat blend of emo-pop. Their 2021 follow-up, “Stardust”, saw the band further delve into realms of pop through dreamy melodies and infectious hooks.
Joy In Motion have been able to open up for some notable acts, including The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Real Friends, Tonight Alive and in 2019, were able to secure a spot for Good Things Festival which featured Parkway Drive and A Day To Remember.
