Black feminist punk band Big Joanie have announced their upcoming second album 'Back Home', set for release 4th November on Daydream Library Series in the UK and Kill Rock Stars in the US pre-order.
The London-based trio have also released a new single in form of rock n roll ballad 'In My Arms', accompanied by a fantastic performance video celebrating queer love and friendship. Watch the heartwarming video above, as filmed in Southend and directed by Lydia Garrett for Girls In Films Productions. "At this point I was getting tired of living in London and dreaming about another life" says singer and guitarist Stephanie Phillips about writing 'In My Arms'. "It’s about knowing you should go another way in life but you end up dreaming about the road you’ve already travelled down even though you know it won’t take you where you need to go."
