The Big Roar

VINYL FORMAT. Comes with a digital download code! Barely over a year after playing their first ever American shows, Welsh rock trio The Joy Formidable will release their debut album, The Big Roar.

The band produced The Big Roar themselves, with help from engineer Neak Menter. They traveled to Los Angeles in summer of 2010 to mix it with Rich Costey who also produced new recordings of fan favorites "Whirring and Austere. The album's first single, "I Don't Want To See You Like This," is out now. The Village Voice called the song "one of the band's best offerings yet, a breakup song that looks forward to the other side of heartache, with racing guitars and thundering drums that seem engineered to snap both parts of the still-attached couple out of their sad state." These songs are joined on the The Big Roar nine other beautiful, explosive new recordings.
