The Joy Formidable -- I Don't Want To See You Like This (official video)

[MegaLalalilly]

such original ideas. I love it!

[wolfboylikesmetal]

she looks oddly similar to a noel fielding sketch when she becomes a tree

[cj9th]

Impressive powerful music!

[12saramore12]

guitar part at 0:32 is FUCKING EARGASMIC

[thesimpaticos]

Is it just me or does she look a bit like Haley Joe Osmet in this video?

[KawaiiKittyO3O]

@thesimpaticos I LOVE HIM <3333 and yes.. a little.. how ODD

[PilotsKillsCaptains]

WHY AREN'T THESE GUYS LIKE THE FREAKIN BEATLES BY NOW?!!!!

[IsabellaPiano]

great live! awesome band. The Big Roar is such a good album :D

[marieburton12345]

They are AMAZING live!!!!!!! Go see them!

[stupido1100]

Even when she's a tree, I still look at her and say.....I'd tap that

[Infyrno244]

I LOVE THIS DAMN SONG... JOY FORMIDABLE NEEDS THE PROPS THEY DESERVE, YES IM YELLING IN ALL CAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[theredpig22]

sounds like an upbeat Duke Spirit, and I mean that only in the instrumentation... Still like em' both anyhow...

[DawgDdogg]

Best Album I've heard in a friggin while....just about every song of theirs is on point...

[Randimelons]

Saw them tuesday. Bad ass guitar smashing, drum throwing chick right up there. Best show ever!

[quakeroats0316]

come to italy before june? please? or go back to america july or later? i think i can truly say that ii would do anything to see you in concer

[marckarlock]

@quakeroats0316 ITALY NEEDS YOU BACK!!!



[GanjasaurusRex420]

I have the biggest crush on her.

[sssssz]

@GanjasaurusRex420 Pssh. Mine's bigger. :D

[HiredGoon001]

This band is awesome!! They're playing a free show with the Naked and Famous in Vegas tonight - and I'm in NJ. THAT sucks :(

[lifeishardmusic]

Cool tune!

[enchantedblack]

I wonder if they do any songs in Welsh. It's such a beautiful language.

Anyhow, I love this band to death after hearing this on one of those music channels that just plays music all day. They're amazing.

[IcyThrills]

I take pride in being able to pronounce Rhydian Dafydd properly. B|

[TheSeaOwl]

The music, the video, the female...so beautiful!

[abzreo]

yay! a band that kicks ass with style!

[BallyUp14]

Sounds abit like blondie, also this song is class.

[Tazza17]

Right, what's the story in the video?

[1SMF0F]

Oh my god........ The things.... The things I would do to that woman....

[odinswolf1969]

saw them last night in Belfast, they blew the place apart, loved every minute and guess what? I wasnt the oldest there :)

[Chobits099]

theyre just too underated , how come ? if there the best!

[beebop333]

let the drummer join the band please, i see that a lot lately Two Door Cinema club does the same thing a 3 peice band but they play with a drummer what gives ? love them anyway!!!!

[AndroidOlberding]

The lead singer has a haunting beauty. The band has a great sound, as well.

[TheDeVonsta]

SAW HER LIVE IN TAMPA!! Left everyone screaming ENCORE! shes phenomenal, and cant be compared to anyone because theres no one like her! or nobody that has they're sound.

[hpyBdayBosing0617]

i thought it was lady gaga...

[petuniel]

@hpyBdayBosing0617 bahhhh gaga and bieber ..stop mention that horses in every video ..

[sunchild90]

@hpyBdayBosing0617 Lady gaga is not nearly as hot.

[SuperSmashBrosConnor]

Has anyone else noticed how intense the drumming is in these songs? They have metal band drums with double kick pedals and everything.

[EmpyrealFlux]

@SuperSmashBrosConnor Just came back from their free show here in Vegas, and trust me..that drummer is a total badass. He puts those double kick pedals to good use. He's really something watching him play on drums, in fact, the whole band is. They definitely have fun while playing on stage. :D

[Teknakill]

I NEVER WATCH THE ACTUAL VIDEOS ANYMORE.

I AM TOO OBSESSED WITH THE COMMERCIALS!

[Theblackmetalist]

Joy formidable is a really good rock i hurd the song whirring on the radio & i was like this is metric then i looked at the playlist of the station its a another band but holy shit these guys are good gotta love rocker chicks.

[own1ngsn1p3r]

Saw them at Outside Lands, and they were fucking epic. Gonna see them again in Sacramento next month :D

[mchelo18]

rock is coming back to kill lady gaga, for those about to rock, we salute you!

[yousuperpussy]

@mchelo18 I've never stopped listening to good music. you can turn off your radio. there has never been a shortage of good music in the world.

[mchelo18]

@yousuperpussy

oh, wow, you want applause for your great deed of listening to off-radio music? WOW MAN, NEVER MET ANYONE LIKE YOU, JUST BLEW MY MIND!!

In case you didnt notice, Einstein, what I mean is there was a time Nirvana and Pearl Jam were topping charts, not fucking Katy Perry. But if you want to wear your sheepish rose-tinted glasses and think everything is great the way it is, then be my guest.

[yousuperpussy]

@mchelo18 you don't get it do you? you're nostalgic but it's okay it doesn't effect me.

[Sonicmale]

They will be know in USA when they release Twilight #15. This is freaking awesome !!! Then I will stop listening to them like I did with Muse....

[mchelo18]

@Sonicmale

be more optimistic man, let's have some faith in them!!

[vrusimov]

...I am floored!!!

[marshmallowPie94]

I saw them two weeks ago in acoustic...they were good and funny XD

[rowanslong]

Ritzy Bryan is so hot.

[kaari1]

Great stuff!!.. Sounds a bit like danish band INOUWEE

[flipside799]

I saw this band as one of Surport Band for the Foo Fighters when they come to Philly. What ever a surport is. Opening act? w/e They dont sound that bad. I kinda like this newer stuff.

[ShawnzyNoSignal]

well the drums are probably drowning their sound out without any amps

[odinswolf1969]

hey I'm 41 am I still allowed to like indie music? tough :) I like this!

[areyoureceivingme]

@odinswolf1969 i'm 43, the answer's yes! :)

[whitewarrior12]

@odinswolf1969 this isn't indie music....

[odinswolf1969]

@whitewarrior12 I'm not talking about 'modern' indie, I'm talking about proper indie from the late 80's early 90's. Have a look back at the likes of the darling buds, the sundays, heck even daisy chainsaw. Yes Joy formidable are new fresh and probably better described as something else but thats how I'd describe them

[whitewarrior12]

@odinswolf1969 agreed.

[Patricknows]

@odinswolf1969 Hell yeah, I'm a 31 year old Ironworker, if you saw me on the street you wouldn't think, "see that guy hanging up there welding? I'll betcha he was listening to The Joy Formidable in his car on the way here"

But I was. This band is just awesome, it hits some kind of nerve, others have come close, but some of there stuff brings a tear to my eye. Usually something has to be heavy, hot or sharp to do that.

[angieyseren]

@Patricknows Awww Patricknows you are sooo right on.. it does hit some kinda nerve and a lot of this TJF stuff well listen to Ever changing Spectrum of a Lie and that always brings tears to my eyes... Take it easy and be careful hanging up there mwah

[MasterShifty]

@Patricknows I have to say, this is probably my favorite band as of late. You're right about them just kind of hitting you in that special way. It's poppy, but rockin' in that very sensible way. It's like they just knew what they were doing when they were making these songs. I remember being so blown away when I heard "Whirring" for the first time, and their other stuff is just as awesome. They're supposed to be playing here in a few weeks, and I definitely want to go check them out.

[eman4920]

@odinswolf1969 No!

Lol jk cheers for knowing good music!

[Music4life495]

She totally ruined those heels......

[Animediva72]

THEY ARE FUCKING AWESOME!

[MoonstruckRules]

lolla!

[stoneroses455]

Raw brilliance from one of the best bands around at this moment!!!

[mmcharliiie]

just discovered these, and i've gotta say i'm impressed! :)

[cosmopotking]

ritzy doesn't want to see you like this

[MurasakiFujiwara]

I want her style! So cute!

[joshbarker1992]

hmm that tree woman is pretty hot. awesome band, i expect big things for them in the next 5 years :D

[sweeetLiaK]

The part were she is a tree reminds me of adele lorienne sessler's artwork.Just discovered TJF and it looks like I finally found something that I might get hooked on again after a very long time.

[pooponu22]

This is fucking amazing. I haven't been this excited about a new band since I first heard White Lies and Florence and the Machine a few years ago.

[mayustarr]

incredible song! such a power! love it :D

[OWilko]

Dot To Dot Festival Nottingham 2011!! It's gonna be awesome!!!!

[bryanvgiordano]

Come to Toronto!!!

[kriptonitekaya]

Ugh there playing tommorow night and I'm not old enough to go :( only 13 need to be 21...It's sad because I don't even care about drinking, all I want to do is hear music! Stupid old people and their alcohol!

[BohemianConspiracy]

@kriptonitekaya do ya want xtatic pleasures ?  ...it's beyond... beyond the poor barbarian effect of za dumb alcohol...

[kriptonitekaya]

@BohemianConspiracy What??

[BohemianConspiracy]

@kriptonitekaya i just say that alcohol are for barbarians... and you're too young to join that club...

I know for the moment you hate it... but i was like you ...i had nearly never drink alcohol before i was 20...just very rarely... but people change...

I don't think that it''s important to drink or not drink ... the important is to no become alcoholic...

What!  u need to be 21 years old to see them ! strange country...in most places is 18... and even less if you try a fake moustache...

[AbduCola]

@BohemianConspiracy JUst depends on the venue. Most are all ages. The one he wants to get into must be part bar

[BohemianConspiracy]

@AbduCola uh... not cool so.... yeah...it depends the venue and the country...or the state if you're in the usa

[kriptonitekaya]

Ugh there playing tommorow night and I'm not old enough to go :( only 13 need to be 21...It's sad because I don't even care about drinking, all I want to do is hear music!

[kriptonitekaya]

Ugh there playing tommorow night and I'm not old enough to go :( only 13 need to be 21

[thevoid99]

this is incredible. right now, one of my favorite new bands.

[jonjo709]

Wonderful!

[jinkysmith]

Ritzy you're fucking awesome

[TheEllieChicken]

cant wait for them at leeeeds fest

[DolganoFF]

Everybody go and see their "live at KEXP" session, pure awesomeness!

[BohemianConspiracy]

my new modern(*) favourite band of the season... maybe even of the year!

I've got the intuition that somebody like Dave Grohl can only fall in love with this band...and even Trent Reznor... i will not be surprised that a lot of well known rocker will appreciate them... but first they've got to know their existance ! ... for the moment at least there's Paul Draper !

Thanx for existing Rhydian Dafydd - Matt Thomas & ... Ritzy Bryan !

*(75% of what i listen is made bet. 1965 - 1983)

[oldpunkster]

LOVE LOVE this song!!

[TheDallyLama]

meh.. theyr ok i guess.. but they dont really offer me anything that i cant get from sonic youth :P

[dobbsiancant]

@TheDallyLama she's easier on the eyes than thurston though,don't you think?call me shallow.

[TheDallyLama]

@dobbsiancant

i just listened to like 4 more songs. i immediately retract my statement. just bought this album :O

[dobbsiancant]

@TheDallyLama it's on my short list as well.nice welsh kids,like the young marble giants and not super furry-rather smooth and pink.

[TheDallyLama]

@dobbsiancant what you talkin bout willis? O.o

[dobbsiancant]

@TheDallyLama god gave you google.now use it.

[nyomythus]

Johnny Depp, one of the Olson twins, and some extra weird looking dude formed band -- cool!

[dobbsiancant]

7" vinyl picture discs?what is this,the fucking eighties?who are you,kajagoogoo?

[angieyseren]

@dobbsiancant I think the picture discs are little works of art you downloading dingo ! x

[dobbsiancant]

@angieyseren you wouldn't recognise art if the mona lisa bit you in the mouth,moron.

[angieyseren]

@dobbsiancant I am not a moron, but I reckon you are when you make such comments about picture discs, wheres the analogy with the eighties, picture discs, and Kajagoogoo love you though have to if you like Bob Dylan ! :)

[dobbsiancant]

@angieyseren lookit,sweetie all i'm saying is that a band this good (and they are very good)don't need cheap retro marketing ploys that i would expect from the likes of the ting tings or robbie williams.i'm all for vinyl but the picture disc was a ridiculous concept that should have died with the advent of the cd.they are not art fer chrissakes.if that makes me a moron then burp me and change my diaper...and how do you know i like bob dylan?

[angieyseren]

@dobbsiancant mwah :) x Are you on Facebook?

[dobbsiancant]

@angieyseren not on facebook.i'm waiting for an anti-social network.

[angieyseren]

@dobbsiancant Sounds good let me know if you find one:)

[MIME333ful]

padrisima rola uno de los mejores grupos si¡¡

[pa18sher]

Listening to this again and love them! Especially this drummer! Like Keith Moon on steroids! Makes ya want to get nekkid and crazy!

[andresmusic2011]

It's a great time for indie rock/rock and roll.

[splinter360]

Great band. Almost like a post-grunge revival, this band. Kinda ironic cause of their name.

[ThomasDW85]

Incredible sound!!!

[2013hivey]

So how many of the 5 austin shows can I catch?????

[bobbeorn]

I went to that beach and cut my foot on a broken bottle, do they make any outdoor videos where they don't litter?

[TheSSmarry]

live in bangkok  GU Rock

[heightadvantage]

who knew trees could sing that well...?

[angieyseren]

No worries pa18sher all made from balsa wood x Agree with you about drummer absolutely superb and a really nice guy .

[pa18sher]

I'm just crazy about this drummer. Put him up there in technique beyond Keith moon, who I loved, and can put him against anyone, including Billy Cobham, who I revere. Hate to see them break up expensive musical instruments.

[davidon2]

@pa18sher

Chuck Biscuits..best drummer ever

[justinmilesmurray007]

Get yo asses on spotify please.

[akechi1]

They played this live in Chicago.. amazing show :) thanks.

[manuelharlan]

@innocencefaded2112 lads? The lead singer is a girl..

[innocencefaded2112]

@manuelharlan eh yeah I am well aware of that my friend. I'm irish and we call everyone lads...well groups anyway. you wouldn't call a girl a lad like

[Foilnewt]

@manuelharlan

It's like using "guys" to refer to a group, moron.

[rafxzi]

ICELAND AIRWAVES 2010 !

[Anon060]

i can't believe i saw them for free, best bargain in my life

[ruudsrightboot]

easily the most talented british band for a decade or so, their music transcends everthing else currently available

[sk8orhateit]

lol enter shikari liked this video

[shit311]

[arnariv]

The best band at Icelandic Airwaves 2010!

[Kravis63]

Awesome! I love the new single! AND....... I just saw you guys are finally coming to Chicago! I''m so excited about this, cannot wait to see TJF live! November 9th, you better believe I will be there!!!

[1grandma]

best sounding chorus i've heard in yonks. Almost stole the show from Temper Trap in Sydney!

[yr06jcrawley]

cockpit last night you were awesome

[redmen01]

Amazing, saw them in Newcastle, met the band after, a real pleasure, i will be seeing them as much as i can!

[sennen222]

Awesome in Aberdeen last night - first time I saw TJF was in Drummonds to about 20 people, well there must've been a couple of hundred in the Tunnels last night - the message is getting through! And you all look like you're still enjoying it.

[eldaro6969]

Best live band in the UK today! A must see. Can't wait to see you all again.

[longlostpriest]

awsum awsum band,, belter of a tune,, makes a days work easier

[luvmyMCR4evaxx]

@eldaro6969 I've never seen them, better or worse than Muse would you say?

[eldaro6969]

@luvmyMCR4evaxx I saw Muse a long time ago when "Sunburn" was released and I think TJF are better live! Just my opinion. Fever Fever are also awesome. Check them out on the BBC Introducing website, they rocked Glasto!

[Music4life495]

@luvmyMCR4evaxx Muse is better

[jonjo709]

Great song , excellent band ,brilliant live .

[martylev]
