On this blog we're a little notorious for talking up bands and then being mean to them once the year changes, when they become "so last year".
And this year will be no different. So prepare to enjoy the next 308 days: The Joy Formidable!
In FTCZ opinion (aka mine, probably Bruce's and probably not Aidano's), they're the best band of '09 so far. And they defo have the best album of '09 (since the Yeah Yeah Yeahs haven't released their sexy 3rd album yet - man that's gonna be sexy).
The band are also guilty of being far too nice. After all, they gave away their entire album on the NME daily download blog. Luckily for them, that blog isn't very popular so they probably didn't lose as big a fortune as they could have.
They're also giving away their second single on Last FM, which is probably the only time in history there's been something worth getting off Last FM.
On another note, i've some how ended up doing one of my dissertations on Francophone rap, so there's ao good chance i'll moan about how unhelpful Last FM is with that.
What am i doing?? This isn't the place for this....
Yay Joy Formidable! Since we can't all be in Edinburgh to see them play with Howling Bells this week (*sigh*), FTCZ will just have to hope they play Ireland soon. Also we're kinda hoping we hear them in Skins soon. They'd fit in really nicely on that.
