    They're an extremely friendly band. You don't normally get chance to talk to bands after the gig but I bought an old album off their merch desk after their gig a few years ago and I got chatting to them for like a good 15-20 minutes and they even signed the album cover. I was amazed by how nice they were.

    I have been listening to this band for years now. Why they aren’t big or why they aren’t more popular truly doesn’t matter to me. The amount of groups they have influenced and the fact that they continue to release art that is true to themselves is all that matters.

      Because we are in a world of sheep that only listen to mainstream Generic pop or volgar Music. They shy away from pure emotion and experiences that's been passionately compressed into this beautiful art by the Joy Formidable.

      @@JayUchiha17 yeah, of cause your elite music tastes are superior to lowlife "sheep's". It's impossible to appreciate someones music without shitting on others, right? Guess we really are in a "world of sheep" then.
      The reason why they aren't "big" is simple - not everyone love shoegaze-like indie rock. And it's totally ok.

    The only thing bigger than the dust storm in the video is the massive wall of sound that the band unleashed with the guitar, bass and drums!!! The Joy Formidable are just so refreshing...I'm not an EDM or Pop music hater by any stretch ofthe imagination, but nothing beats just playing your real instruments and singing from your heart like them, not even a pesky sandstorm...

  • @silverstatic

    still can't understand why this band isn't global and changed the world. Their music and message is so great. Will never understand other than the hollywood crap that oppresses QUALITY over QUANTITY.

    • @ROOKTABULA
      @ROOKTABULA 5 років тому +2

      Not Hollywood: Record labels pushing rap and manufactured pop: Both are FAR cheaper to groom, produce and put on the road than a full band of actual musicians than some douche with a mic, a few hyper boys and/or some underpaid dancers. Plus: Rap and pop acts are designed to, for the most part, he disposable and easily replaced so less money needs to go to development

    • @jordsupp
      @jordsupp 5 років тому +1

      Semantics. I interpreted "Hollywood crap" as a euphemism for low budget, mass-produced music with little/no artistic integrity, which is what TJF is most definitely not.

    This video is brilliant and the song is epic and massively inspiring. The group here is the best definition of the expression "power trio". Lots of emotional and musical power. The idea of the sand storm is fantastic and almost a literal punch in the stomach. Visual and musical poetry that is not for the faint of heart. Bravo.

    Between this song, "Wolf's Law," & "Cholla," "This Ladder is Ours," is my fave. Of course all of them are good, I just love the melody, and the feeling of the entire song. The texture is really good to. I love the sound of Ritzy's guitar distortion, especially on those chords after she sings her 1st line. The piano in "Wolf's Law," is also a nice change of pace, especially since I've been listening to a lot of piano oriented music. As for "Cholla," the rhythm reminds me of an old drinking song.

    I wished so hard that she would come back. When I hurt her and broke her heart, she left. I wished so hard to the moon, the stars, the sun, god, Santa Claus. I literally spoke about her until my friends stopped wanting to call me or see me. It was all I ever talked about.
    I discovered this song at a wedding we worked on together about 6-7 years ago.
    If she never comes back, that’s fine. But I’ll always hear this and wish we could just be our old selves again, finally...
