New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Black feminist punk band Big Joanie brought their electrifying live show and powerful, community-driven message to stages across
Europe and North
America this spring.
Thrilled to perform their acclaimed new album Back Home, out now on Kill Rock Stars (US), they'll make stops in NYC and
Chicago this week and an appearance at Ohana Festival slated for later this fall. In celebration, they have unleashed a deluxe version of album track "
Today" feat. Kim Deal.
Singer and guitarist
Stephanie Phillips shares, "We are immensely proud to announce our new version of 'Today' featuring Kim Deal. Whether through Pixies, Breeders, or her solo work, Kim has been a vital influence on us as a band and we're so happy that she's become part of the Big Joanie world."
She continues, "Originally this was a song we were working on years ago that Chardine was going to sing on. I found the old demo while we were on tour and started writing new lyrics to the music with my laptop balanced on my lap in the tour van. I really love that it sounds like a classic C86 type lo-fi indie song."
Big Joanie's new album Back Home earned widespread acclaim spanning The New Yorker, NPR Weekend Edition, FADER, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Afropunk, Stereogum, Consequence, Alternative Press, KEXP, WNYC, The Talkhouse and Under The Radar.
It was dubbed "Best Album of 2022" by Rolling Stone, Bandcamp and The Quietus and album track "Sainted" was also highlighted on
Andy Bell of Ride's Top 20 Songs of 2022 list for BrooklynVegan. With their boundary-breaking approach to punk, radical politics, and an appreciation for earworm melodies, Big Joanie are set to become important voices for a new generation of punks.
