PALEJOY RELEASES EMOTIONALLY VULNERABLE NEW TRACK “I BET HEAVEN ISN’T REAL AT ALL”

The early 2000s are so back, with bands like Palejoy breathing new life into sounds we all love. Their latest effort, “I Bet Heaven Isn’t Real At All,” sounds straight out of Gerard Way’s playbook. This single is incredibly reminiscent of My Chemical Romances LP, ‘I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love.’ It’s a real testament to the evolution of music over time and the way resonant art can transform into more resonant art.

Heavily distorted guitars and vulnerable lyricism mark “I Bet Heaven Isn’t Real At All” at its core. The track has a satisfying live feeling, even though it was recorded at a studio. This nod to counterculture is an ode to doing what works for you artistically without giving into the temptations of following everyone else.

The song is undoubtedly inspired; some choices indicate My Chem’s signature notes. Still, Palejoy is their entity; the song is derived from a deeply personal experience, and everything within it reflects that. Everyone performing can capture their emotions straight from their instrument, even if only in solidarity with their mates (they are Englishmen, after all).

Palejoy performs incredibly in this style, with “I Bet Heaven Isn’t Real At All” successfully achieving its goals. The emotional performances by everyone involved add gorgeous layers of texture to each track within the mix. This solid single promises an inspired future for Palejoy, one in which they continue to wear their heart on their sleeve, inspiring many along the way with their humanity.
