Videoklip k novince od The Joy Formidable mě hned na poprvé doslova pohltil. Jeho hudební a vizuální složka, podpořená precizním střihem, je emocionálně strhující a graduje v záplavě obrazů zrodu všeho živého. Od líhnutí ptáčete, přes rozkvétání rostlin, po zrození dítěte. Vím, že to není nic origiálního. Tato témata už byla mnohokrát zobrazena, ale v tomto případě díky postupně více a více naléhavější hudbě, se nám dostává krátkého, ale o to intenzivnějšího zážitku. Za vrcholný moment považuji krátký, ale o to více intenzivní pohled vlka přímo do objektivu kamery. Jedním slovem nádhera. Kapela The Joy Formidable [...]

We seem to be getting overwhelmed by high quality videos at the moment so it would be churlish and not a little selfish of us not to share some of the best with you. Kicking off is the wonderful video for the delicately beautiful Tuck The Darkness In from the Bowerbirds new album The Clearing . a Next we have Cheyenne Marie Mize and a video for her adventurous track Wishing Well from [...]

Don't have the Joy Formidable 's album 'The Big Roar' yet? It was released a year ago so you don't have much excuse for not having it. However, if for some reason you've missed this great band (though I'm not really sure how this is possible, after Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters proclaimed his love for them and took them out on tour in America), you can listen to and download album track 'A Heavy Abacus' below. And we were remiss for not posting the song's official video, [...]

Yes, we all know that Metallica are taking over The Fillmore this week, and only very special people will be getting into those shows. Remember that Metallica also totally blow, and everything on this list is better. Or, at least tell yourself that, because you aren't getting in. Don't worry, I'm not getting in, either. [...]

The Joy Formidable that Mike's posted about a couple of times most recently here have a new video for their latest track "A Heavy Abacus" that is pretty rocking. Totally reminds me of the 90's alt-rock era . How I miss those days, glad they're keeping the spirit alive. Speaking of 90's alt-rock they are gonna be going on Tour supporting the Foo Fighters on some gigs. Sure they will make tons of new fans doing those. Check out the vid/tour dates [...]

Words: Saam Das June, you have disappointed me with your relative lack of brilliant singles. Anything, however, is better than Cher Lloyd's upcoming single, 'Swagger Jagger' . I weep for humanity. Check out ten MUCH BETTER singles from last month below, and the photo above is a hint to our single of the month winner. Benjamin Francis Leftwich - 'Box Of Stones' (Release: 20th June) [...]
'A Heavy Abacus' is the latest single to be released The Joy Formidable's excellent debut album The Big Roar. The single is pretty typical of the kind of epic and boisterous indie-rock anthems which litter their debut album, one of the finest of 2011. 'A Heavy Abacus' also demonstrates how great of a vocalist Ritzy [...]
Os galeses do The Joy Formidable lançaram essa semana mais um clipe de divulgação de seu ótimo álbum de estreia, The Big Roar , lançado em janeiro desse ano. Novamente dirigido por Christopher Mills , responsável pelo segundo clipe de Whirring ( assista aqui ), o clipe dá uma repaginada no conceito de vídeo usando bastidores da banda. Para isso, o diretor usou uns filtros bem bacanas que dão um ar de animação (ou quadrinhos) ao video. Eis uma parceria que deu certo: Leia [...]
