Welsh Alt-Rock Band The Joy Formidable Release Their New Single/Video "The Hat"

Celebrated Welsh, alt-rock band The Joy Formidable are excited to share their brand new single & video "The Hat." The track follows the band's single "Cut Your Face" which was released last month. "The Hat" is out now on all streaming platforms via Enci Records in North America, Full Time Hobby/Hassle in Europe and Soundly Distro in the rest of the world.

On the new single the band's Ritzy Bryan says;

"I feel like your own inner reflections can take on a sensation like being in space. Alone in the gravity of your own uncertainty, drifting & off balance but aware of how beautiful & extraordinary life is. This track has that sensation of being transported but also moving forward. A nod to the new aperiodic tile that never repeats & your own vows of “never make the same mistake twice."

Comprised of lead vocalist/guitarist Ritzy Bryan, bassist/vocalist Rhydian Dafydd and drummer Matt Thomas, The Joy Formidable are originally from North Wales and currently split their time between there and Utah, “in the middle of nowhere” and the closest thing they could find in the USA to their home turf. Nevertheless, they have remained close to their loyal fanbase and launched TJF Music Club in 2019, with members able to request Backstage access, watch online shows and get exclusive songs and merchandise. It grew and evolved during the subsequent pandemic.

"The Hat" is the latest track to be released from a collection of singles out this fall and follows the band's 2021 acclaimed album Into The Blue. The Joy Formidable have announced a fall UK tour which begins on September 20 in Glasgow and plan to return to North America in 2024.
