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.
