The Joy Formidable @ Relentless Garage, Sept 30th.
What? The Joy Formidable are husband and wife Ritzy & Rhydian and drummer Matt Thomas. Ritzy is an explosive front lady, handling vocals and guitar, while Rhydian takes bass/synth and backing vocals. The music is epic, melancholic electro-tinged rock. One of the best new UK bands around. For Fans Of: Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, School Of Seven Bells. // more

The Joy Formidable @ 93 Feet East, March 28th.
What? The Joy Formidable are another of my favourite new bands in 2009. Based around the song writing of couple Ritzy (vocals/guitar) and Rhydian (backing vocals/bass). Not in a cute couple sort of way though, instead, big, often dark, soaring rock songs are the result. The band are currently out supporting Howling Bells.

FREE: The Joy Formidable – A Balloon Called Moaning
The Joy Formidable were already one of my favourite new bands before they decided to give away their debut album for free. Their kindness is unnecessary to win my affection but appreciated anyway. // more
