Three independent albums, 7 featured singles on 6 different international releases, and a lot of love from [loyal] fans on both sides of the planet, JoyFocus will be entering your radar soon (if they haven’t already).

Since their 2001 debut, Chicago duo Rikk Currence (musician) and Holly Joy (singer) have been making more moves and creating more awesome music than most bands with a full support staff…

Their new single, Love Song Cliche, opens up with a short piano riff that seems to be setting the mood for…well…a cliche love song?

…but then the doors are blown open by a gritty, distorted guitar and from that moment forward we are treated to an epic, dramatic piece of songwriting fit for a big arena as appropriately as it fits into headphones for a gripping adventure through sound.

Rikk and Holly are not to be taken lightly.

Holly’s vocals are as powerful and moving as Rikk’s guitar tones and engineering work. If you haven’t heard these guys before, now would be a great time to start catching up!
