I lived in Rochester, NY from 1996 until 2022. In all my years there, I wasn't really someone that listened to the biggest hit band of the last twenty years to hail from the 585, Joywave. I was clearly aware of them, and heard them - but I wouldn't have called myself a fan, per se.
Then, one day in the summer of 2023, I was pooping in a Target bathroom in State College, PA. And I heard "Dangerous", which was a song I knew, but hadn't really resonated with me until that moment.
So, yeah, I am a fan now that I've left Rochester.
This song is from their third album, Possession, but, like most of the singles from that album, it was released before the album was. It is one of their biggest alternative radio hits to date. Recorded entirely at the band's studio in Rochester, I cannot help but feel a little adopted hometown pride. I find the song to be catchy as well.
The video is a bunch of fake movie titles and previews, and is cool as hell.
We really appreciate the band's attention to safety when performing. This live performance is from Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania.
