JoyFocus have recently dropped their 8-track album, “Random Access Digital Audio Heresy”. This is album is the stuff of legends. You can expect to hear catchy rock riffs laid down with a unique, enjoyable guitar tones that harkens back to the more classic rock eras. Holly’s singing is irreplaceable because her voice is a perfect fit for the melodic but edgy music that JoyFocus produces, while the lyrics are inspiring and powerfully relevant.
