Love Kills Joy

Ocala, FL

Bio

Love Kills Joy are a 4-piece American anthemic sing-along bar rock band from Ocala, Florida. The band formed in 2020 as a collection of driven creatives who unexpectedly met through Craigslist and hit the ground running. Often compared to Jawbreaker, The Gaslight Anthem, Alkaline Trio, or Hot Water Music, their unique brand of entertainment fuses overdriven guitars, melodic vocal harmonies, and catchy hooks. Their enormous stage presence and punchy rhythm section drives every set with militaristic precision, and will make you want to dance all night long. Hailed as “One of the hardest working bands in Central Florida”, Love Kills Joy has been pounding the pavement to venues across the state since their inception. They have attracted droves of followers on social media, and have even performed at the iconic “Fest” in Gainesville.

“Love Kills Joy is like a katamari ball rolling around the Fest (the Gainesville one) picking up bits of melody and anthemic energy from bands such as Against Me!, Jawbreaker,
Lawrence Arms, the Copyrights, and the Street Dogs just to eventually barrel you over.”
