THE JOY FORMIDABLE
thejoyformidable.com
You all know our love for The Joy Formidable since we wrote about them in July 2008: “Here's a band that I see a lot of potential in, The Joy Formidable.”
We’ve since seen the band multiple times, the last being in Nov 2018, where we noted, “After a two year-absent, the band returned to the Twin Cities, headlining and selling out the Turf Club in St Paul on Friday night. It was nice to see the band at a small “pub gig” again. Bassist Rhydian Dafydd and singer “Ritzy” seemed really loose and making faces as they launched into “This Ladder Is Ours”. Even the drummer would occasionally rise from his seat to whip the audience into a deserving frenzy. Seeing the band this animated vs their button-down-proper gig in 2016, was a much better experience.”
It’s been a while… but I’m happy to say that the group is back with a new album Into the Blue, out August 20th, via Enci Records (US) / Full Time Hobby (Europe) / Soundly Distro in the rest of the world. We’re hoping there’ll be a promo tour for the new album sometime late this year … if they do make an announcement – we’ll let you know.

BOB MOULD
bobmould.com
“Distortion and Blue Hearts!” is the name of the new tour from Bob Mould. The guy is a legend, we’ve been listening to his music since Sugar and through back catalogs, Hüsker Dü.
As one would guess, Mould will be playing some tracks throughout his career as highlighted by the Distortions 1989-1995 box set by Demon Records, plus tracks from his recent 2020 album Blue Hearts (Merge Records). A little new, a little old… what’s not to like about this?
Jason Narducy will be opening on the solo portion of Mould’s “Distortion and Blue Hearts!” tour. The full Bob Mould band will feature Narducy on bass and Jon Wurster on drums.

SILLY BOY BLUE
facebook.com/sillyboyblue1
French artist Silly Boy Blue (Ana Benabdelkarim) recently releases her album Breakup Songs (Columbia France). Her name comes from a David Bowie song… which, of course, is in reference to “Little Boy Blue” nursery rhyme.
According to the singer, she said it took her 25 years to release this album about love, friendly breakups, crushes, scars, failures and successes… it’s all in this album.
Silly Boy Blue adds, “Teenager is the last song I wrote before starting the studio session. It is a sort of overview of what I am, of all the things I didn’t want to forget to mention in the album: to be a woman told to shut up, to not always fit in the box, to talk about sexuality too. I called it Teenager because it is the song I would have liked to write in my teenage years, and the lyrics I would have liked to hear.”
