Their critically acclaimed 2011 debut album, The Big Roar, saw the band gather a frenzied and loyal fan base, mainly due to their almost constant touring and supporting slots for bands like The Manic Street Preachers, Muse and The Foo Fighters. And despite lead singer Ritzy Bryan's short stature, she is a confident and powerful presence and has no problem filling the largest of venues with her powerful vocals and strong musicianship.
The Joy Formidable's roots began back in 2007 after the demise of Sidecar Kisses. Their debut single, Austere, was released in 2008, followed in the summer by another single, Cradle, and then an 8 track ep, A Balloon Called Moaning came out in 2009. By the time The Big Roar was released, The US had taken the band to their hearts in a big way. They were signed by major label, Universal, which meant they were able to base themselves over in America and tour in much larger venues than in the UK. They also recently played on the David Letterman show.
Rocksound recently said of Wolf's Law "Bold, beguiling and frequently brilliant. This is an album of myriad charms" If you can't wait until the end of January, you can find a few track videos and teasers on both YouTube and on the band's website.
