“The Joytraders were forged in the open mic fires of a local Gainesville bar called The Bull in the summer of 2022, connecting through their shared love of writing music and drinking cheap beer!”
True statements never die.
We’re back again to rip your heart to pieces and leave you smiling about it.
Come to mosh; come to cry; come to hear an impossibly complicated yet effortlessly melodic bassline; come to watch a ripping guitar solo and an uncomfortable amount of charisma; come to see the winner of the 2026 Hardest Working Drummer in Gainesville Award; come to see a bunch of dudes who don’t even live here anymore and a very tired school teacher; come to listen to songs about nostalgia, heartbreak, existential dread, and coping with existence as your youth gradually slips away; and, as always, come to drink cheap beer and sing a joyous refrain about the people you still hate.
Or don’t. But you’ll miss out on a really good time.
