Joy, Sheer Joy



If you need a little somethin’ somethin’ to gear up for spring, may I suggest The Joy Formidable?

Genuinely in love with what I’m hearing from this noisy pop band from the UK. Sounds like: high school in reverse, kissing in a ferris wheel spinning too fast, but getting off the ride with a big grin and the promise of an ice cream cone. Well, that’s how I would describe these guys. Already on the radar of BBC Radio’s Steve Lamacq, how is it possible that they don’t have a label? Someone sign them already so they can put out a full length album.

Yeah they're really good and are opening my new podcast. Unfortunately, not made much of an impression really over here but a couple of radio appearances is a good start.
