Biography

A quarter life crisis landed singer Brian Ishiba in Tokyo, over 5,000 miles away from bandmates and best friends Joe Grabmeier and Ed Baida. But, "As happens with departures, breakups and other partings of the ways, songwriter Brian Ishiba didn’t know what he had until it was gone...Ishiba fronts the L.A. trio Joy Weather, who released their self-titled debut album of emo-inspired indie-rock...The band got its start under the name Royce, but its evolution was put on hold...when Ishiba moved to Tokyo, where he had attended college. While living across the Pacific, he released the solo EP “How It Goes” before eventually returning stateside, where his band got a fresh start under the new name." (Kevin Bronson, Ears Wide Open: Joy Weather, Buzzbandsla 2020). The band self-recorded and produced their debut album, with songwriter Ishiba eventually taking on mixing and mastering duties for every subsequent release. This DIY ethos was carried on into their newest release "EP". In it, the band infuses their brand of indie-rock with contemporary power pop influences like The Beths and Alvvays, as well as guitar forward bands like Peach Pit.
