Cardiff rockers Joanna Gruesome have officially anounced the release of their new album Peanut Butter. The album, which is their second full length LP, has been recorded by MJ from Hookworms and is set for release on 11 May this year.
The band’s guitarist Owen Williams spoke to the NME about the album: “We tried to make it shorter, more economical and attempted to pack as many hooks and screams in as quickly possible in order to avoid short changing the consumer or wasting her/his/their time. Lyrically it’s more obtuse and surreal but also attempts to mock trad masculine rock themes whenever things do get more lucid. But sometimes musically we embrace them by doing embarrassing guitar solos. I’m not sure how much else I’m at liberty to say but one thing I will disclose is that the record is a response to threats posed by rival groups.”
