Too Much Joy back with a new album

Too Much Joy have released “Mercy Mild” the first official single from their forthcoming album All These F***ing Feelings, due October 21 via Propeller Sound Recordings. The new album follows the New York alt-rock band’s 2021 reunion album Mistakes Were Made.

On the album, the “What Pr***s We Were” and “Our History in Hugs” were commissioned by fans crowd-funding the album, to honor a friend or loved one. Singer Tim Quirk drew the lyrics from their responses to a questionnaire. Of “What Pr***s We Were,” Quirk says. “Those were just a few of the words he used to describe how he and the buddy he wanted to commemorate used to spend their nights driving New England highways aimlessly. That sounded like the title to a song Too Much Joy would write, as well as an apt description of my feelings whenever I'm reminiscing about our past.”

Too Much Joy are Jay Blumenfeld (guitar/vocals), Tim Quirk (vocals), Sandy Smallens (bass/vocals), Tommy Vinton (drums), William Wittman (guitar/bass/vocals).
