South London/Brighton group Honey Joy have released a new song from their forthcoming second album ‘II’, due on September 4 via London indie punk label Everything Sucks.
‘Pain’ is about a patient vocalist Meg Tinsley was tending to (in her role as a nurse) who was in a lot of pain. The video, directed by Andre Sous, explores the idea of pain and how pain can be good or bad, voluntary or involuntary, celebrated or mourned.
The song showcases Honey Joy’s ability to draw upon their punk rock and indie pop influences; it is also representative of the album’s split inspiration. ‘II’ is a journey between the dark and the light, with Meg writing half the songs whilst signed-off sick from work due to her mental healthz and the other half when she was out the other side and on a mission of self love. It’s “an exploration of the places your mind can go and a narrative of my experiences during those times,” she says.
