better joy is Manchester-based alt-pop outfit led by Bria Keely, backed by her band. better joy fuses sparky melodies with strong guitars and pulsating bass lines, coated in lyrics that delve deep into all things vulnerable. The upcoming EP ‘at dusk’, a sister EP to her debut ‘heading into blue’, reflects a moment in her life “where I just stopped trying to please anyone or caring whether the music I wrote ‘fit’ a mold. It’s not on anyone else to define what better joy is: it’s on me”. ‘at dusk’ is produced by the legendary Mike Hedges (The Cure, U2, Manics, Travis).
