electronica[1][2] Janine Rainforth is a singer-songwriter musician who co-founded original post-punk band Maximum Joy.
Her career in music at that time and with her band Maximum Joy was cut short by a serious violent sexual attack[6] from within her close professional circle.
[citation needed] Rainforth was original founder of Maximum Joy aged 18 years old along with the sax player of Glaxo Babies.
The line up changed several times – a new bassist, percussionist and keyboard/ trumpet player joined them and eventually Rainforth left the band after a serious sexual assault upon her within her close musical professional circle gave her no choice but to do so.
Despite this she found she could no longer perform, and so eventually retreated from making music publicly until 2014 when she made a return as a solo artist under her surname, Rainforth.
