THE JOY FORMIDABLE - A HEAVY ABACUS [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

[abstractheory]

You know, this group could take it to the next level if they gave it that little extra something that separates the good from the great: interjecting the word pussy into their songs. Come on joy formidable. I mean what does it take?

[eldflaugavisindi]

Can't believe i've been putting off checking this band out for so long. I discovered them like a year ago, and only now i finally decided to listen to their album... and it's all round amazing! They toured in my city and i missed them.. how ridiculous is that!

[themegadwarf]

Omg this is so amazing especially if you know the message it carries

[WheelchairMania]

FUCKING ADVERTS.... god damn



[BacoboyThe1]

love the band and the singer

[EvILcloWn9000]

I could listen to this song all the time...and never get tired of it.

[justanotherrider]

If you had to buy only one cd in 2011...here it is.

[PrinceOfLeon1988]

I heard this on the radio today and had 2 look it up..THANK U SHAZAM LOL

[woggleboggle]

Radio 94.7 Sacramento brought me here.

[LittleMonsterx91]

@woggleboggle

haha same here

[theDarekful]

Vampire Diares brought me here.

[abstractheory]

@ChaoloveChao  I won't be censored by you and your conservative ilk who want to shut me down for speaking the truth about sideways chinese vaginas. The truth is, it's an affliction that thousands of caucasian women have to live with EVERY DAY. How would you like it if you were black, and had a small penis. It's the same thing. She's got a tiny little sideways vagina, and there's nothing anyone can do about it! Poor girl. She never stood a chance.

[Zaninth11]

Thank you Secret Circle for introducing me to Awesome music!!!

[abstractheory]

I think she's haunted by the fact that she has a sideways chinese vagina. Just sayin'. 

[ChaoloveChao]

@abstractheory k we get it can you stop posting it on like every joy formidable video now...

[roseeia]

love this song but abacus? isn't that the counting thing with the beads? how is the counting thing with beads haunting you?

[hardmous]

@roseeia they took a gamble that the average listener would not know what an abacus is.

[MKRocker2012]

@hardmous Still a cool as shit name for a song.

[ramstones1]

@hardmous took me like 10 seconds to remember then i google seearched it to make sure anyways. Thats the same way people will remember doing math by pen and paper at some point soon

[drummr4life]

@roseeia Look at the song more metaphorically. The abacus is something that can, in ways, keep score. Heavy abacus; hard to keep score, or, hard to get even. That's just what I think of it, maybe it varies from person to person.

[carl0138]

@drummr4life who uses an abacus to keep score? they use it for simple math...

[roseeia]

@drummr4life Thanks for sharing your perspective, it makes a lot more sense looking at it that way :)

[mayaorton]

good to see a for front chick on the guitar for a change. unlike paramore and Yeah Yeah Yeahs

[gusandlulu]

@mayaorton I thought Hayley Williams does play guitar.

[nasutar]

I love even those little intros in this and in Whirring

[wezbian88]

how can you class this a rock???? i have heavier farts than this O_o

[naika14890]

LOVE IT!

[lamborger]

I don't mind much when people find out about awesome music from video games, movies, etc. BUT it's sad that they're missing other really awesome bands by listening to commercial stations that try to force homogeneous, consumer-based, market analyzed crap down our throats, while perfectly good college stations stay relatively not listened to and they feature bands (like the joy formidable and others) and no one finds out about them. In short, listen to your local college radio station!

[kitykatykath]

@prath000002 i wish other people in this world has your awesome taste in music

[draconistheory]

love the style of the video

[tfich]

This video parallels this songs awesomenss!

[jaredman04]

Sirius XM sent me here:) Thanks Alt Nation

[MrTomBentley]

Unbelievably good!

[DeeCeeCT]

Very impressive even for an old schooler like me. Reminds me vocally of a blend of Kate Bush meets Bjork (and that's a good thing).

[Skastrik]

Awesome to find this band, something really good for a change!

[lunaariela]

[lunaariela]

[ironshroom]

[hbuckmeister]

Thank you Carson Daly for introducing me to this music!! Awesome!!

[andrewvanderleest]

Saw these guys at lollapalooza last summer. Easily the best performance by a new/up-and-coming band I've ever seen. There were maybe 1000 people in the crowd, tops, and we were all floored.

[areliusIS]

Watch out people, this shit is going to get really, really big.

[thekraken1989]

OMG I just started listening to them this is probably my favorite song so far.

[snowdetox]

This band has got to be one of the better bands in the last 10 years! Freaking amazing!! And what an amazing live experience!

[iamkarlmeyer]

I want to marry this band.

[PanicSwitch95]

its sad how justin beiber gets millions but joy formidable only has 80 thousand:(

[bigchiefmingingbolok]

@PanicSwitch95 , most of the views on that shithouse Biebers video's are from people like me hating on it, if you look he must be the only so called "artist" who gets more dislikes on his shit than likes.

[mwbtc]

I love them. They put on such an amazing show last week. Anddd meeting them afterwards was pretty rad :D

[jaysonmono]
