Leave it to Brooklyn based post-punk musician Johnny Leitera to capture the anxiety of the big city with his one-man band project Tuff Sunshine. On his new single No Juice he offers advice, sort of, to cope when the walls are closing in or how to deal with street violence (spoiler: it is a losing game). With gruff and stacatto vocals on top of a nervous, unrelenting electronic backing, it will probably be way to intense for the public at large, but for those who like their music dark and adventurous it is an exhilirating listening experience.
No Juice is released via Declared Goods. The video was made by Richard Lee Buss. It is a track from his forthcoming album Vanity Matrix, out on October 4.
Live dates:- 09/05 Bristol, UK @ The Plough Inn
