Violent Delights, the debut album from UK punk collective JOOLS, ends exactly where it begins.

“These violent delights have violent ends,” sings co-vocalist Kate Price on both the album opener ‘The Pleasures’ and its climactic, curtain-dropping title track. “And violently you’ll see, nobody decides it’s over for me, but me.” It’s an echo that bookends Violent Delights by deliberate, poignant design.

“Those words encapsulate everything we’re saying on the album,” Price explains. “We’ve always known exactly who we are, and whatever has been thrown at us in our lives, we’ve always known where it is we’re going. Those words don’t just define the story of Violent Delights. They define JOOLS.”
