MORE Indie Invaders / POSTED BY: KINGSOFAR

Joy Downer has released an upbeat track called “Alright” that combines elements of new wave, garage rock, and bubblegum pop. The song has a unique blend of past and future pop music.

In her own words, Joy says, “Have you ever felt too comfortable or trapped in your own life? Have you ever felt like you were playing only one role when you know you’re capable of playing many? It’s okay to feel lost, to take bold steps, to pursue your dreams and rediscover yourself again and again. This song is meant to reassure us that it’s alright to feel this way.”

Despite her stage name, Joy Downer is actually a California-based musician and model who took on her husband’s last name after marriage. She and Jeffrey work together on her music. Her birth name is Joy Bishop, and she comes from a large Mormon family.

Joy has found a niche in the alternative rock scene. She had a chance to perform with Beck on Corden last year. On her latest single, “Chain Reaction,” she collaborated with Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready and percussionist Lauren Brown. The song was released on McCready’s Hockey Talkter Records and was performed on The Late Late Show.
