No Joy has just released a new music video for their track Hellhole which is off their EP Creep. The CREEP EP has also been re-pressed on beautiful neon green vinyl and is released through new label Grey Market and is available to purchase here: https://www.agreymarket.com/products/no-joy-creep-ep-neon-green-pressing. The new video for Hellhole is a great nostalgic one to watch as it features the band’s singer Jasamine White-Gluz as a teen (at the time she was trying to make her own version of a Sheryl Crow video). The song is a celestial shoe gaze track that brings out a colorful vibe. The video is great and captures the fun-spirited and talented Jasamine as a teen.
