Athens’ The Overjoyed are back with a self titled and self produced full length that can be streamed here. Their third album is their most intense and honest release to date, capturing the band’s raw DIY ethos and unstoppable energy, lyrically the record dives deep into personal struggle, mental health, addiction and identity, the album also pays tribute to classic punk influences such as Buzzcocks, while staying unmistakably The Overjoyed. Known across Europe for their relentless touring, explosive live shows and no-bullshit attitude, The Overjoyed have built a reputation as one of the hardest-working underground European punk bands of recent years.
“I’m so excited about this album. It’s the first time we collaborated 100% in the writing process. As always (cause we never really had a producer) we produced this whole album our selves with the help of our friend and most amazing upcoming engineer/mixer in Athens Marios Adamopoulos. I was in a really dark place… struggling with self-identity, drugs, a break-up… while living in a world recovering from a world-wide epidemic and a social-political mass hysteria. It’s a reminder, that we still got it and that we still don’t give a shit about most of the people that are trying to put you down.” (frontman Leo Theofylaktidis)
