Imagine a young Spandau Ballet in facepaint playing Metallica’s instruments, writing songs that not only rock the masses but hypnotically induce any stale audience into a frenzied dance party and you’re a bit closer to understanding the message.
The band’s debut album, The Rain Dance, will drop as the summer closes in 2019 and will serve as an excellent passport into AJR’s iconoclastic world and creative vision. One of very few bands who would sit equally comfortably on a Download Festival line up just as much as they would at Glastonbury and it’s this kind of divserive and artistic reach that has put A Joker’s Rage in a prime position to break out worldwide.
