Next Elvis #8: The Joy Formidable

Info: These rockers hail from London. They lace their indie rock with some sweet synths and vocals, and pretty much just jam.

Sounds Like: Sky Larkin, The Answering Machine, and Johnny Foreigner.

Bio: From their last.fm page: "With Matt Thomas on drums, a conjoint surrealist and raw, forceful drummer The Joy Formidable have thrived on the live front. Soundscape layers are spiked by the nakedness of a 3-piece; gargantuan, clamorous bass and guitars come in waves, Ritzy seething and cooing in equal measure."

Why it's going to be the next Elvis: They just have super great vibes, and I think they have a winning touch. They have also garnered a fair amount of media attention around the UK, giving them a fairly good foundation, at least locally. We'll see what happens internationally.
