Joe P makes the kind of indie rock that still trusts a guitar hook to do real emotional labor. The New Jersey songwriter has written and recorded the bulk of his work in his basement studio over many late night sessions. Across Emily Can’t Sing, French Blonde, and his debut album Garden State Vampire, he has sharpened his writing into something both ragged and precise: songs like “Fighting in the Car,” “Off My Mind,” “Shadow in the Sun,” and “Birthday Baby (The Girl with No Smile)” feel diaristic without becoming slack, polished without sanding off their nerves. His rise has unfolded in parallel with tours and dates alongside Cold War Kids, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Spacey Jane, Joywave, Good Neighbours, beabadoobee, and Matt Maeson, while his recorded work has also intersected with figures like Mt Joy and K.Flay. Across festival dates at Lollapalooza, ACL, and Sea.Hear.Now, and headline shows across the US, he has brought a massive rock energy to stages everywhere. After the release of Garden State Vampire – Stripped, he is embarking on a solo headline tour, bringing the personal, intimate performances from his social media to the stage for the first time.
