Joybomb Reveal “Nanoplastique” Single & Announce “Modern Scripture” EP

Memphis rockers Joybomb today return with the blistering dystopian ripper, Nanoplastique. This new single tears straight out the gates on its mission to serve up a tongue-in-cheek homage to a world consumed by microplastics. Leaving absurdity exposed in its wake, the scathing takedown of environmental degradation invokes the more dangerous of spirits. Across its three fuel-injected minutes Nanoplastique pauses for breath only at the bridge where vocalist Grant Beatty delivers an eerily prescient description of a planet in decay ripped straight out of the pages of the Old Testament. It’s a fitting and irreverent nod to the title of the band’s upcoming EP, Modern Scripture, that EP is set for an August 23rd release on all streaming platforms.

Modern Scripture sees the band reunite with producer Matt Qualls and continues the group’s mission to further the hard-nosed melodic punk and charged social commentary of their 2022 debut full length, American Cult Candy. On this outing they dial it in even further; doubling down on playfully deviant religious tropes juxtaposed to themes of bottomless consumer culture, chemical escapism, absurd political theatre and tragic romance.
