The Joy Formidable

The Joy Formidable album The Big Roar is an impassioned debut.

Ritzy Bryan-vocals, guitar, Rhydian Dafydd-bass, and Matt Thomas-drums make up this formidable Welsh trio.

We first featured their music here with their most unique Christmas song “My Beerdrunk Soul Is Sadder Than a Hundred Dead Christmas Trees”.

We spotlight them again with “Whirring”, their formidable single.

My Beerdrunk Soul is Sadder than a Hundred Dead Christmas Trees

The Joy Formidable, a three-piece from North Wales, will release their debut album The Big Roar in January.

Over the past few years the trio has only issued singles including this amazingly intense Christmas song.

Released last year as a free download, it only recently came to my attention and is one of my favorite new Christmas song this year.

From a variation on a quote from poet/writer Charles Bukowski “”my beerdrunk soul is sadder than all the dead christmas trees of the world”, the band has entitled this song “My Beerdrunk Soul is Sadder Than a Hundred Dead Christmas Trees”.

You make my spirit.
