Description
Band of Holy Joy - When a Gift Is a Curse
On the back of great reviews for their latest album Easy Listening and to coincide with the band’s appearance at the NME C86 festival at London’s 229 Club, Band Of Holy Joy are releasing a digital single When A Gift Is A Curse through their own label Radio Joy on 16 June 2014.
The song is a glam hymn to both good living and bad livers and pays tribute to the wayward genius that was George Best.
“It’s become something of a tradition for Band Of Holy Joy to release my favourite album of any given year… When A Gift Is A Curse concerns the notion of destructive talent, with George Best taking a leading role…”
Louder Than War, rating 9/10
