Joy Riding pay homage to a flaxen-haired, Strong Man sideline reporter in the video for “Suzie Lynn,” found on the quartet’s forthcoming album You’re So Smart. A montage of humorous (in hindsight) but intense (in the moment) competition footage filters across the screen as the power-pop ode is littered with 80’s nostalgia, including its futuristic yet simple credit sequence. The video was playfully edited by Jeffery John Massino. Joy Riding are slated to perform at Bourbon & Branch, alongside The Only Ghost in Town & Sad Juror, on November 16, and they were just added to the December 9th bill at Underground Arts with Matt Pond PA.
