The Joy Formidable: BeatCrave Fav

At last, music that doesn’t emphasize on the pangs of life all the time; The Joy Formidable is a three-way band that truly knows how to transmit the joys of life through their music. Lead by Ritzy Bryan, a lovely blonde, The Joy Formidable crosses happy-shouty lyrics with a heavy bass that equal the perfect dose of happiness that any of us need to live through the day. This band has everything to make you fall in love, – Even a free download of their debut album A Balloon Called Moaning, is a real work of art.

The art making between Bryan, Rhydian Dafydd (vocals, bass), and Matt Thomas (drums) is good enough to keep you listening. Filled with fuzzy guitars and lead by different girlish vocal sound, their first album was huge and we hope to see more great things from this happy band.
