Phoenix, Arizona based “sludge pop” alt rock band Joan of Arkansas have just released a video for their new song, “Erase Me” – the second single from their new ¡Distortionista! EP. “Erase Me” is a fuzz-filled, catchy, post-punk-meets-garage pop song, perfect for fans of Pixies, Hüsker Dü, and Superchunk.

“”Erase Me” is a perfect lil capsule of some of our favorite things to do/talk about in our songs. Musically It’s manic, it’s intentionally distorted and buzzy and fuzzy as hell, the drummer sounds like he’s on 18 cups of coffee but isn’t coordinated enough to play a convincing punk beat. Gang vocals and a 50-dollar fuzz pedal that is dialed to melting. Lyrically, It’s about that sneaky suspicion that you will never outgrow your awkward phase, that you are the ugly duckling that never turned into a swan. Just an Ugly Ass Duck. We are older, we remember when self-doubt was cool.” – Joan of Arkansas
Joan of Arkansas is weird, loud, distorted, and lyrically-driven. Bright pop dual vocals peeking through distorted sludgy guitar and bass, then topped off with manic drumming.
Is it pop? Is it punk? Is it noise? That’s for you to decide! Their songs cover the gamut of topics but are often driven deep into what it’s like to be piece a of desert trash blowing through gentrified downtown phoenix landscapes, just tryin’ to survive.
