The Joy Formidable are a new trio from Wales that have just released their first 8 song EP, A Balloon Called Moaning, which is available on iTunes. I first heard about these guys when I came along a YouTube fan video for their song Austere, no biggie right? Well the video, not authorized by the band, is a bit interesting as it showcases the faces of several individuals apparently giving themselves some self love, if ya know what I mean. You Tube actually pulled the video saying that it was too provacative...yeah because no one really does that to themselves. Anyway what's important here is the music. They have been heard around NYC opening up for Passion Pit and The Temper Trap all the while gaining a rabid following, including myself. There is always something interesting about a chick as the lead singer of a rock band, when it is done right (sorry Paramore but you suck) it's better than most because honestly guy singers are a dime a dozen. Please give The Joy Formidable a listen and see what you think.
