Sick Joy have shared their first new music since last year’s brilliant debut album, WE’RE ALL GONNA F***ING DIE.

Produced by Nothing But Thieves’ Dom Craik, the trio’s new single Painkiller is “about turning the anger that’s normally directed at myself, when I fall into old habits and behaviours, back out to the reasons and life experiences that sewed them into my life,” explains frontman Mykl Barton.

“I can see this survival method is flawed, but I don’t hate myself, I just hate you.”
