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.
Honestly never heard of this band until recently. This band is great and the sound is so powerful. All their songs never fail to impress me❤love their name
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...

I’ve been trying to find this song for over 6 years and now I find when I’m in the Marine Corps. It’s been on my mind for years annoying me and I finally found this beautiful song
Saw Joy at Austin City Limits Music Festival, an epic performance! We were lucky enough to briefly meet them after the show, they were very gracious and kind. Support this band!! They play in Austin again October 12.
Been following these guys ever since I tried to sign them up to the label I worked for back in the day. They used to be called Sidecar Kisses then, so glad they are doing well. Good music still lives on!!
This song is the first song 2 of my daughters ever heard as a complete live performance. They started playing to a nearly empty circus tent, so we were right down the front. By the time this song was over, the tent was rammed. Ritzy was brilliant with them both, chatting to them between songs and making sure they were ok. An amazing band.
Why's everyone complaining about the lack of sand?? We don't want beautiful Ritzy Bryan and company to go blind!! Just listen and love, who cares about authenticity in the video!! Can't wait to see them live once again, met them twice and they were just awesome possum cherry blossom sause.
I first saw White Lies (2010) and The Joy Formidable (2012) both as support for Muse London gigs, been big fan since, saw both bands last year and can't wait to see them again hopefully.
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.
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.
I loved this song the first time I heard it. Still do. One of my favorite bands. Makes me want to go buy a ladder (or you know, listen to more TJF songs.)
Once again, these three crushed it this weekend in DC. A tiny church it was. Hot, maybe 120 people, and they hammered down as if they were in a stadium. Unreal.
THEY ARE COMING TO MÉXICO ON MAY 15TH OMG!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. I started listening to them back when I was in high school and know I'm a graduate and a teacher and I hope I could go and see them ❤️
iT was Formidable in 2014 when I listened it for the first time pOwerr FUUULL , and today... it stay the same for me, It will never go, good band, good sounds, good video particular fOrmidaBle to play in these siTuation !
When she sings "this is where it all begins" and the dust flies off of them. Wow! Really finding this personal to me at the moment, and just an amazing song and band.
I love this video, dust or fog? They are special with their mastery of time signature versatility. Musicians know what this is technically difficult to be in 4/4, 5/4 and extra bars. Drummer is banging the shit out of them in appropriate moments. Congratulations to them. I was lucky to see them in LA, looking forward to seeing them again
Wohoooow.....from now on, definitely my favorite band.. the 2nd album seems to be the greatest that I've heard - and i already thought that about the 1st :-P but god, awesome
This is one of the top videos ever created. Very powerful, affecting stuff. Please please please let me get what I want. And play this video at my funeral.
I it wasn't for my subscription to nylon I would not be here today before this awesome song thank you nylon and thank you the joy formidable for making good music
I will paint all the best scenes of this video and emotions and mural it across the park wall for the community People need belief this song has given me hope , belief and allowed me to realize some dreams in this short time and space of life thank you.
I accidentally stumbled across this song while looking for the video for 'Whirring' so glad I decided to listen to it, this is a great song, the intro is the best I have heard in such a long time! Now......time to go listen to their other songs!

I got to speak to them in September 2019 and I still can't believe it

They actually give me hope that music is alive and real.

They are huge!!! But mainstream doesn't keep score!!! We do!! Plus they have done well!!
cause the jooz don't own them so no fame
October 29, 2024. An absolute banger.
Yeah!

Thank you universe, god, algorithm for bringing me to this song.
This is now much I love you 💘
If there is someone else you with please tell me
Best band since MANIC STREET PREACHERS , there is magic in Wales
As a rock and roll fan to his core, I'm ashamed I just discovered this gem of a trio 💎
Don't be ashamed. It's lit af!

See us walking through the sunshine
Ask me "Where I've been?"
Back to Ire?
Back to desire

I met the lead singers mother at a train station in North Wales. Genuinely lovely person. :D

Can't believe I just discovered this band. They're incredible!
yea a little late... and now they only play in small pubs in liverpool.... so yea... little bit late.
And they're formidable.
I am so lucky to have found this band❤
I was really hoping this band would save Rock n' Roll.
THIS
They did.
She did...these kids don't get it and it's a shame.
I mean if this is the music we're getting I never think it needed saving
AGREE,,,
Why's everyone complaining about the lack of sand?? We don't want beautiful Ritzy Bryan and company to go blind!! Just listen and love, who cares about authenticity in the video!! Can't wait to see them live once again, met them twice and they were just awesome possum cherry blossom sause.
*The Joy Formidable*
Uruguay 2016 waits for you!
First seen in Manchester Night and Day supporting White Lies, 2009. Never forgotten, more memorable than the main act that night.
I first saw White Lies (2010) and The Joy Formidable (2012) both as support for Muse London gigs, been big fan since, saw both bands last year and can't wait to see them again hopefully.
I love this band. Whenever I can I come back to this old videos. Love Ritzy Bryan, her voice and songwriting are very good.
Just found them within the past couple of months and have been listening repeatedly to all four of their albums.
me too!
After opening the show for the Foos in Calgary, EVERY Canadian should know THIS group!
Listening in September 2024. What a banger. Only just started listening to this band and I'm really hooked.
i adore this band, i was listening in 2011 and now i can see them in hamburg on february, YEAH!!
My new favorite song! "This ladder is ours...see us walking through sunshine...back to desire...this is where it all begins"
Mais quelle morceau ! Toujours aussi formidable
Hard to think this song is now 9 years .. Seriously, loved it then, love it now.... For an old guy, this sound carries with me.

3:09 to 3:40 is one of the most perfect moments in music.
caligirl626 I love the part at 4:45 to 5:02 the drum is soooo sick ! :)
This band will forever be a favorite.
This is the best music video ever made.
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.
Wow. I've listened to them for a while and never heard this. This is honestly GREAT.
Thanks last.fm for finding me this sweet post-punk band. Some technical skill, and real passion here for sure.
omg Ritzy is gorgeous.. her eyes are just stunning xD cant wait for this album!!!
them eyes and that voice!
Why this band are not bigger is a mystery to me!
with epic songs like this they should be!
absolutely bloody brilliant
Nunca dejen de hacer musica xfa SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINAAA
Ritzy is a force of nature! Love TJF😍
they never give up and I hope they never do.
The Joy should have been super famous by now....
I loved this song the first time I heard it. Still do. One of my favorite bands. Makes me want to go buy a ladder (or you know, listen to more TJF songs.)
I remember seeing them playing this song live, it was pure joy...pure Joy Formidable.
I'm just getting into this band now. Great stuff. This pop/rock/dream pop sound is wonderful.
A pure wall of sound, jeeeeez....
Once again, these three crushed it this weekend in DC. A tiny church it was. Hot, maybe 120 people, and they hammered down as if they were in a stadium. Unreal.
Still love this band in 2019
how about 2020?
@@JaneTheLame yes, even now I play it
shudder to see the video and the song. awesome, beautiful and be my favorite band.
Hard rock
This is what makes Britain Great what a sound from a 3 piece, Rixxy is just fantastic , they could be our next biggest Export
THE Joy Formidable, tremenda banda de Rock,... está canción la escucho fuerte en mi SmartPhone, hasta quedarme sordo🎸🎶🎧🎹👍🇵🇪
I love the beginning of the song so freaking much! The way its all slow and dramatic seeming than BAM! badassness!!
I love Ritzy

im black, and in the HOOD AND I KNOW THIS IS A GREAT SONG A GREAT BAND AND THEY WILL BE BIG..PS THE SINGER IS HOTT!! TYBG
I am so surprised that this band hasnt had a top 10 album, this IS music :)
The editing is so good in this video and deserves a nod, well done.
Cut timing, effects, everything.
No prizes for guessing the show opener for the tour in the New Year... Can't wait.
this video should have more views
My favorite song!!
Lucky to see them at a small club in VA years ago.
When she sings "this is where it all begins" and the dust flies off of them. Wow! Really finding this personal to me at the moment, and just an amazing song and band.
Every song they have gives me chill bumps. They are destined to be a great band and eventually they will be legendary.
Great show in Toronto on December 10th! Hard to think of a better live show and the pre-show acoustic set was a great idea. Come back soon!
the world needs more of this.
LOVE the drummer's passion! just awesome
👏 good editing!
I love this song. I saw them in the summer at Cardiff and they opened with this. So emotional I had tears running down my face.
Best song
I said it before to others and I'll say it again. I'd marry this band if I could.
Love this song, was on a old iPod which broke and thought this was gone forever
I saw these guys on tour with the Foo Fighters. Very good live. Great band!
I love this video, dust or fog? They are special with their mastery of time signature versatility. Musicians know what this is technically difficult to be in 4/4, 5/4 and extra bars.

wait where are the odd time signatures?
Yes they are
Not so hard, just feel the music 🤷🏻♂️
Wohoooow.....from now on, definitely my favorite band..
the 2nd album seems to be the greatest that I've heard - and i already thought that about the 1st :-P but god, awesome
Argentina 2016 is waiting for you!
+Cs Mdn do you know about the Welsh in Argentina who moved to avoid English persecution
Yes!
heard this song on the radio today. Something I hear myself skateboarding to. Consider it purchased on itunes!
I came here cause I saw the jambox commercial and I'm so glad I did!!! Bought the music on itunes as well =)
This is one of the top videos ever created. Very powerful, affecting stuff. Please please please let me get what I want. And play this video at my funeral.
Absolutely unreal! Can't wait for Nottingham in February!
I it wasn't for my subscription to nylon I would not be here today before this awesome song thank you nylon and thank you the joy formidable for making good music
I just saw Ritzy on a tv commercial for some kick ass speaker system... this band is gonna blow up
I will paint all the best scenes of this video and emotions
and mural it across the park wall for the community
People need belief
this song has given me hope , belief and allowed me to realize some dreams in this short time and space of life
thank you.
This song... What a journey !
Totally love Ritzy and her crew. Saw them live in NYC in 2016. F"ing great show with Everthing Everything! One of the best bands out there today.
Completely agree, I also saw them in Peru on March 8 of this year and Ritzy is crazy and beautiful too
I'll be seeing them in Vegas for the life is beautiful festival!
Don't need glitz and glam when you have the best music. ;)
what have I been doing on youtube to miss these gems?
This is music.
I accidentally stumbled across this song while looking for the video for 'Whirring' so glad I decided to listen to it, this is a great song, the intro is the best I have heard in such a long time! Now......time to go listen to their other songs!
i just found this band recently. and i have already gone back and found their older music... which is obviously much better. this song is simply ok..
Saw Video, Somehow Impressed.... Sees in 1080p = JAW DROPPED! Excellent Video and Excellent Song.
This is definitely one of the more interesting and creative music videos I've seen in recent history.
Had to pre order this album!
They remind of Sonic Youth!!! And they were AMAZING!!!
Absolutely amazing! It seems as if this band is not capable of doing anything even remotely wrong. It's just so fucking fantastic.
