We have seen this fiery quartet a couple of times and were impressed with their singing, vicious guitaring and lively drummer. The ladies have plans…

JOANovARC will release their new passionate, soulful and powerful self titled album ‘JOANovARC’ through Pledge Music/ Holier Than Thou Records on Friday 15th February 2019. The new album follows JOANovARC’s critically acclaimed debut album ‘Ride of Your Life’ (2016) produced by Grammy award winning producer Gil Norton and recorded at Rockfield Studio. Gil Norton dubbed the band as ‘The new Queens of Rock’.

Joanovarc’ was recorded at Orange Tree Studios, produced by JOANovARC and Andy Hodgson, mixed and mastered by Romesh Dodangoda (Funeral For A Friend, Bring Me The Horizon and Stone Broken).

The new energetic and diverse album features 11 finely crafted songs. ‘JOANovARC’ are delivering powerful rock anthems with a modern twist. This four-piece band are a driving force live which transcends on to their new album.

The album encapsulates JOANovARC’s live energy and reveals a dynamic mix of dark and light. From ‘Girls Wanna Rock’ to the soulful sounds of ‘Try It On’ which showcase both Sam and Laura’s diverse vocals.

The new album has been completely funded by a very successful Pledge campaign.

Speaking about the single, JoanovArc explain “This is about women coming together in a united front showing the world how strong they can be against all the odds. We wanted to use this song as a way to support and raise money for so many women suffering from breast cancer. We have many friends who are struggling with breast cancer right now.
