Jopy

A schlocky horror show of barrelling punk, moody vamping, and hook-strewn goth rock that sneaks in some seriously relatable themes amidst the entertaining posturing.

The 'Planet Zombie EP' showcases the band's B52s / Cramps influenced glam punk sound chocker with incendiary punk riffs and frantically infectious choruses. Full of macabre joy, the EP sees Parnell celebrate her queerness through fantastical camp-horror fictions via Marc Bolan-esque vocals rolled into one blood-curdlingly gleeful package. Tracing these songs' deeply personal origins, Parnell says: “I want to write songs that people can relate to and feel seen by without having to relive the more difficult aspects of their journeys. This is why I chose to convey my experiences in the form of fun, campy horror stories.”
 
“Short, sharp punk-pop songs of the wry and witty variety…the midpoint between Elastica and PJ Harvey’s twangier moments” - Record Collector
