Founded and fronted by Mancunian musician Bria Keely, alternative pop outfit Better Joy play music that’s all about contrasts; their sound is bright but also dark, fun but also moody, often blending energetic guitars with lazy vocals. Inspiration comes from many different sources, included among which are The Smiths and The Cure. 
Bria is the band’s songwriter as well as their vocalist, and more often than not pens lyrics about relationships, not only romantic ones but also the relationship which she has with herself.  
Better Joy will follow up their Coventry gig with another visit to the region later in the month, supporting Amy MacDonald in Wolverhampton on Friday the 21st.
