DIG THIS: THE JOY FORMIDABLE + YOU WON’T @ HOUSE OF BLUES

welsh-y washy

The Joy Formidable are part of a proud tradition of Welsh rock bands with upbeat melodies and sad sack lyrics that blend together in some miraculous mixture of indie heaven.

Openers You Won’t are up to snuff themselves—with Modest Mouse melodies and Boston-based cred, they’ll be well worth coming out early for. Besides having energy and earnest-ty as shared qualities between them, both bands also have excellent names to scream at the top of your lungs,

so knock yourself out, you.
