Featured off Joy Cleaner's recently released album You're So Jaded, the New Jersey gang of Joey DeGroot, Kyle Wilkerson and Justin Grabosky present the video debut for the slacker chic fancy of "Dramatization". From the follow-up to Total Hell, the crew keep the aesthetics and ethics of 90s underground arts in full motion with a bevy of heavy guitars and lyrics that roll with observational insights that document life in the imperfect tense.

Filmed on location at In The West, New Brunswick, NJ by Phil Connor, sporting editing from Josh Evensen and an assist from Cameron Taddeo — Joy Cleaner are seen rocking out in a session complete with projector displays serving as stage lights in between edits of demolition derbies and daredevil antics. The trio packs a cathartic punch that muses over angst and frustration that meets these myriad conundrums with a lyrical shrug heard in the alliterative refrain of nothing changes after all. "Dramatization" basks in the demonstrations of life's dramas and challenges in a relatable fashion that notes how cycles inevitably run their course, despite our own efforts of proverbial kicking and screaming. Like the milestones and passage of time that we recognize in our own inner monologues; Joy Cleaner sends up an electric ballad of sweet surrender in the face of life's shifts and curve balls.

The band shared the following statement on the song “Dramatization”:

This was the first song we wrote after the first album came out. The opening line, Today is a holiday for no one but me, came to me while I was driving to practice, because that day would have been the anniversary for me and my ex. I felt really pathetic dwelling on it, so of course I had to write a song about it, and we wrote pretty much all of it at practice that night.

Joy Cleaner’s You’re So Jaded is available now via Jigsaw Records.
