Hitting their peak just in time for Carlisle, this Welsh trio finally followed up years of anticipation with a full album release in January this year.
The Big Roar showcased many of band's early highlights with new material and recieved positive reviews across the board. Back for the second successive Big Weekend, they were ideal openers on this year's INMWT stage.

One of the best performances of the weekend. Poor crowd unfortunately. I hope they get their just deserts this year at Reading/Leeds. They're obviously going to be a big hit on the indie circuit.

The Joy Formidable: a perfect moniker from an absolutely ROARsome beast of a band – THE best rising act around with super-massive success deservedly coming their way very soon.
