The Joy Formidable - The Big Roar (Audio CD - 2011)

The Big Roar is a massive, melodic growl of an album, combining four retooled songs from the band†s 2009 EP with eight newer tunes. The Big Roar is an album that unapologetically swings for the fences, with songs that bubble skyward like mushroom clouds and simple, straightforward melodies that encourage arena-sized crowds to sing along, but the Joy Formidable never resort to the sort of chest-thumping bravado that earned Kings of Leon their own share of critics. There's a right way and a wrong way to write anthems in the early 21st century, and the Joy Formidable -- with only three bandmembers present -- find themselves on the right side of the dividing line during the majority of this debut.
Condition: NEW.Drilled case.
