Details: Big Joanie "Back Home" Pink Transparent Blue Red Splatter LP (2022, Kill Rock Stars).

Description: "Formed in the heart of London’s DIY punk scene, Big Joanie (featuring guitarist Stephanie Phillips, bassist Estella Adeyeri, and drummer Chardine Taylor-Stone) is a Black feminist punk band whose passionate live shows and moreish blend of the nineties riot grrrl and synth-heavy post-punk, have seen them steadily rise to become one of the most championed bands of the current era.

Big Joanie is back with their sophomore record Back Home. Recorded at Hermitage Works Studios in North London, the album was produced and mixed by Margo Broom (Goat Girl, Fat White Family). Back Home is a dramatic leap forward for the band; the band builds on their tightly knit, lo-fi punk formula to bring forth a collage of blazing guitars, down-tempo dance punk, and melancholic strings that evoke the full depth of the band’s expansive art punk vision."
