JOANovARC
unveil the brand new video for their powerful and punchy new single Dragon
In The Sky, from their forthcoming debut album Ride Of Your
Life released on November 11th through Red Vixen
Records.
Vibrant
and psychedelic with a grunge twist Dragon In The Sky has a dark edge,
and deals with “untreated mental illness” and the problems surrounding drugs in
society today.
JOANovARC
wanted the video to feature animation in order to highlight the psychedelic
nature of the song and the subject of a dragon. With the band's characters
displaying the different personalities and moods associated with some mental
health disorders, the resulting video is both intense and spectacular.

To
celebrate the release of the raw and raunchy Ride Of Your
Life album JOANovARC take to the road for their most extensive
headline tour yet. The tour includes a special album launch show in
London at The Black Heart on November 30th, where the band “will be sharing the
stage with some very special rock icons!”
Ride
Of Your Life finds JOANovARC at their full creative tilt delivering
hard-hitting, retooled classic rock with a modern twist. Describing themselves
as “Puss In Boots”, this four piece force of nature have delivered a statement
of intent with their debut album.
Produced
by Grammy Award winning Gil Norton (The Pixies, Foo Fighters) Ride Of
Your Life has the essence of an old school record. Recorded at the legendary
Rockfield Studios, the album encapsulates and distills perfectly JOANovARC’s
live energy. “He was completely different to what we expected, he brought the
best out of us in the studio and let us breathe as musicians and made us feel
like we were free to express everything in the studio”.
Ride
Of Your Life is the journey of the band's life from the beginning to
present, the ups and downs on the road. “We are all great friends but have been
through everything together, heartache, death, illness, sweat, blood, great
times, addiction, narcotics, break ups, celebrations, fights and tears! “
This
energetic and diverse album features 11 finely crafted songs full of rock’n’roll
attitude and glamour. The opening title track sets the tone for a rocking roller
coaster ride, and features the singles; the vibrant yet vitriolic Dragon In
The Sky, along with the epic and empowering White Trash and the
infectious Live Rock’n’Roll. Plus, a further 7 songs, including feel
good joyride Seeds Of Summer, before the spiritually beautiful
ballad Peace of Mind closes this sumptuous debut album in the best
possible way.
Ride
Of Your Life’s striking front cover featuring “an image of our naked
bodies is pure and we will not be affected by fashion in any way which is
refreshing. There was something quite liberating about this photo and the road
image tells the story of the album with the band stripped naked showing who we
really are. It's the bare naked truth!”.
“We
are role models, we want to inspire young females and empower them” and Ride
Of You Life is an inspiring statement.
Thanks
to their relentless touring and high energy shows, JOANovARC have earned the
title as one of the UK’s most promising rock acts, bristling riffs and jagged,
riotous hooks are their poison - exceptional is not too strong a word.
Ride
Of Your Life is an unequivocal triumph.
