Music: No Silver Linings: Sick Joy's Brutal Truth in Nothing Good

Sick Joy is a post-grunge/alternative rock powerhouse originally from Newcastle and based in Brighton, UK. They describe their high-energy sound as 'heavy pop' or 'noise pop,' drawing frequent comparisons to '90s icons like Nirvana and Pixies. The band's identity is wrapped up in the concept of their name, which frontman Mykl Barton defines as "when you really love something but it kills you as well," a perfect metaphor for the duality and turmoil channeled in their music. Known for brutal lyrical honesty and fusing raw grunge power with sleek, modern electronic influences, Sick Joy has solidified its place in the UK rock scene, touring with major acts like Pixies and Pearl Jam.

"Nothing Good" is a relentlessly honest single, featured on the band's anticipated second album, More Forever. The track is a visceral confrontation with the past and the lasting damage it leaves.
