The Joy Formidable are a rock band hailing from North Wales who formed in 2007. Since their debut they have released two studio albums along with three extended plays, and have become one of the most exciting Welsh rock bands of the past two decades.

Formed by childhood friends Ritzy Bryan and Rhydian Dafydd after they played together in the Manchester based rock band Tricky Nixon, The Joy Formidable came together in 2007 after Bryan and Dafydd drafted Justin Stahley in to play the drums one their own project, which at the time was unnamed. After the trio realized the chemistry they had together when performing live, the band named themselves The Joy Formidable, and after a year of rehearsing, recording and writing together, they released “Austere”, their first single, in July 2008. After they put a Christmas single up for download on their website at the end of 2008, the band self-released their first extended play “A Balloon Called Moaning” in January 2009, which was when they really started to get glowing noticed in the national music press.

Not only did the record get the band noticed in the United Kingdom, but also in the United States after it was re-released on Passion Pit's synth player Ayad Al Adhamy's label Black Bell Records. Because of this, the band were able to sign a record deal with Canvasback Records, a subsidiary of Atlantic, in 2010. The band's debut album “The Big Roar”, was hailed as a triumph by those who heard it, including some nobody called Dave Grohl, who called its third single “Whirring” his song of the year. The band released their second album “Wolf's Law” in January 2013 and to this day, the band remain the most collosal sounding rock band since Muse. With a live show that's just as epic, and the world at their feet, The Joy Formidable come highly recommended.

Live reviews

Welsh alt-rock titans The Joy Formidable, featuring the indomitable Ritzy Bryan, sticksman supreme Matthew Thomas and master fret-tormenter Rhydian Dafydd, are vital indeed. Busting at the seams with powerhouse singles like “Austere”, “Cradle” and “Cholla”, their veritable treasure trove of music will excite and impress in equal measure. What sets the band apart from other rock acts is their propensity for depth and thought-provoking, though somewhat cryptic lyrics.T here's very few contenders to the hard rock crown in the limelight anymore, but The Joy Formidable are definitely, unquestionably, up there. Their sets are often bombastic displays of intense rock riffery, inciting metal-horn flinging and downpours of shout-alongs. While their debut The Big Roar was an angular exercise in intelligent indie-rock, their 2013 sophomore, entitled Wolf's Law, was a prog. rock paradigm, thrashed with psych-nods and dips into extended instrumentals. Cathartic too, it dealt with loss, identity and home. Despite only numbering three in their ranks, the band manage to cultivate all these separate elements in their live shows, enabling raucous dance moments and reverent slow passages. It's a varied set they perform, but that will leave you looking the way Ritzy does when noodling away: beaming and slightly glazed-over.

Report as inappropriate

There are very few bands who can boast to creating the same high volume sonar spaces as Welsh rock trio The Joy Formidable. One of Dave Grohl's personal favourite new artists and a huge hit in America, the shoe gazing alt-rock outfit have an incredible selection of tracks from their first two studio albums and remain criminally underrated in their homeland.

The music could easily fill stadiums as demonstrated during support slots for the likes of Muse and threatens to lift the roof clean off the intimate venues they are often confined to. There is great variation in the crunching, crushing 'A Heavy Abacus' with the lighter anthem 'Austere' via the spanning, cinematic 'This Ladder is Ours'. The music this band creates is absolutely staggering, I truly believe they are one of the most exciting rock outfits to break in a very long time so head to the shows before the rest of the world begin to share this sentiment and quickly sell out the tours.

Amazing show -- I'm still grinning from the opportunity to see TJF up close at such a small venue. The premium fan ticket was 100% worth it: got to chat with Ritzy, Rhydian, and Matt with about 20 other people, then enjoy a few acoustic performances before watching them do a sound check.

As you'd expect from TJF, the energy was palpable and the band was clearly having a great time. Lots of engagement with the audience to make it feel like a shared experience. Later in the show, Ritzy announced they were going to do something "extra weird". They came off stage into the crowd and performed an acoustic rendition of "Liana" to an audience member whom they'd learned was named Liana. That was a highlight. Especially for Liana, I suspect. :-)

Don't miss TJF if you get the chance to see them live.

The Joy Formidable band seemed to be very comfortable in the setting in Milwaukee. They were so fan friendly..They honored most of the audience requests. The pre-show V.I.P. acoustic show for a group of about 40 of us was a complete delite! And they gave us a free specially made CD as well. It was a great evening and got to meet and talk to them all after the show as well.

One of the more ridiculous shows I've ever been to. They were very talkative, the music was very loud, and they had lots of guitar solos. They also played an acoustic set as their first encore in the middle of the pit, and later handed a guitar to the crowd just to make noise with. Very crazy.

I love this band. They really know how to make a live show special. The songs are not direct replays of album cuts. Each night is a unique experience. Ritzy was sick and still played a memorable show. This is my fifth time seeing them and I will always come back for more!

The show was fantastic. It was a very intimate experience. The staff was polite and helpful. All and all we had a wonderful time. My only negative comment would be that there were two very intoxicated hecklers that needed to be asked to leave.

This was such a great show! The venue was awesome, small enough to be intimate but enough space so I didn't feel like canned tuna. They played an acoustic set, with plenty of songs from the new album as well as some familiar ones.

The band rocks! I had the opportunity to meet Ritzy and that was a joy. (No pun intended) ..She took the time to stop what she was doing to take a pic with me. And when the show started, it was nothing short of electric!

Played at the Fox Cabaret Vancouver. A night of crazy alt rock. Guitars were smashed and being played off the floor. Drum sticks were snapped during the encore and the remnants were given to the crowd (safely).

You treat it all like it won’t come again

You know what it means to leave leave too soon 

You’re not the past and these streets unexplored

I get a chill I think I’ve met you before 

You see every sun rise and sunset a message 

Close my eyes I know nothing is setting 

You know what it feels to leave 

Leave too soon 

Just hold on to me as the changes roll through 

Stop when you know that it’s hurting you

Stop when your hope is lost for words

Tell yourself you know they’re not feeling you 

Stop when you wake up lost 

You treat it all like it won’t come again 

You know what it means to brave 

Brave the cold 

I look across and these thoughts I’ve ignored

They keep us warm but don’t sleep anymore 

I’m learning to see it all new again

I know what it means to leave leave too soon

I caught myself waking up

I get a chill I think I’ve met you 

Oh stop where it goes 

Grow with me across our thoughts 

You see it all like it won’t come again 

You see it all like it doesn’t end

French Open final analysis: Carlos Alcaraz beats Alexander Zverev at Roland Garros

Wimbledon, it’s over to you

Getty Images

So that is the 2024 clay season all but done. Next up, the grass and all eyes shifting to Wimbledon , which takes place in south west London over the first two weeks of July.

To bring us full circle, last year saw Alexander Zverev (19) go out in the third round after a straight sets defeat to Matteo Berrettini.

As for Carlos Alcaraz (1), he will be defending his 2023 title after beating Novak Djokovic in five sets on Centre Court.

Djokovic is a seven-times champion at Wimbledon but he won’t be there this year, due to the knee injury that forced him to withdraw from the French Open quarterfinals earlier this week.

How did Alcaraz handle the pressure?

One of the truisms of tennis is to pay very close attention to what a player does under pressure, when they really need a point.

Carlos Alcaraz was fighting his way out of crucial break-point danger all afternoon, and never more so in the fourth game of the fifth set, when he fell 0-40 down after he had earned what looked like it might be the decisive break and was four games from the finish line. He climbed out of that hole with the help of a faltering Zverev then finally had a game point of his own.

Alcaraz cracked a serve to Zverev’s backhand and when the return floated back to him, he didn’t try to to pound a ball through the back wall. He feathered a drop shot to the front of the court. Zverev didn’t bother running for it.

He did it again in the final game at 15-15. It worked.

Can Zverev iron out the fluctuations in his serve and volley?

The serve has defined much of Alexander Zverev ’s career. How can it fluctuate from being a formidable weapon to a complete liability? How can it be that a player who is 6ft 6in can sometimes look so nervy when doing something that should come so naturally?

And how much is this a mental barrier?

But in the fifth set, it wasn’t the serve. He hit two wonderful first serves and came in behind them intelligently. The first time, he poked a backhand volley long. The second, he hit a duff effort into the net.

Alcaraz figures out winning ugly

It’s a safe bet that no one ever would have thought to have put “winning ugly” and Carlos Alcaraz in the same sentence, but that is what unfolded in Paris.

For long stretches, Alcaraz’s game was downright sloppy and unreliable. He sprayed and framed his forehands. He resorted to moonballs on his backhand.

He struggled to hold his serve at what looked like the pivot point in the third set, when he was up 5-2 and had seemingly cracked Alexander Zverev’s resolve by breaking him to love after previously losing 14 points in a row on the German’s serve.

A fight for middle ground in the opening exchanges

The Athletic

In the first set, the two players were winning a similar number of points when the rallies were up to four shorts or longer than nine — the difference was in the middle, in rallies of between five and eight shots.

Alcaraz dominated this metric in the first set, using his greater variety of speed, spin and particularly height to either bait Zverev into mistakes, or to create simple finishing shots that kept the rallies shorter than they might have been.

A compelling French Open final, debriefed

So there we have it. Carlos Alcaraz (3) beat Alexander Zverev (4) in five thrilling sets of an often jittery and tense French Open final at Roland Garros.

The match oscillated violently before Alcaraz found his shotmaking and ruthless edge to claim his first French Open title, and third Grand Slam title on three different surfaces by the age of 21.

There was a US winner today too

The day may have belonged to Spain's Carlos Alcaraz but there was a US winner earlier today at Roland Garros.

Coco Gauff won the women’s doubles title with partner Katerina Siniakova, beating yesterday's women's singles beaten finalist Jasmine Paolini and her Italian compatriot Sara Errani 7-6(5), 6-3.

Not bad given Gauff and Siniakova were playing together for the first time, with Gauff’s usual partner Jessica Pegula out injured ahead of the tournament.

Connors best came a year older

One more. Carlos Alcaraz is also the youngest player in the Open era to win three different Grand Slam men's singles titles, doing it almost a year younger than the previous youngest.

That was Jimmy Connors , who did it almost a year older than Alcaraz at the 1974 US Open.

Thank you to Opta Ace for these belters.

The youngest — and also the fastest

Not only is Carlos Alcaraz the youngest to win majors on all three surfaces, but he has also done it in the fewest appearances in men's singles main draws. And by quite a distance. Just 13 in fact. This is the Open era list:

• 13 — CARLOS ALCARAZ
• 20 — Jimmy Connors, Rafael Nadal
• 24 — Mats Wilander
• 36 — Andre Agassi

Alcaraz goes better, younger, than Rafa

Let’s bring you more of the historic context from Carlos Alcaraz winning his first French Open title today. And we’ll begin with this beauty…

Alcaraz has now become the youngest player in the Open era to win men’s singles Grand Slam titles on all three surfaces: clay, grass and hard court. Alcaraz has done it aged 21 years 35 days .

Rafael Nadal had previously led this, completing the trio at the 2009 Australian Open aged 22 years 243 days , so I imagine Alcaraz will like this one.

Time for another tattoo, Carlos

Do you know someone else who will be delighted at Carlos Alcaraz ’s victory today? A tattooist. Somewhere.

I apologize for not knowing who or where but Alcaraz’s win means he is now set to add to his tattoo collection, which has so far marked his tennis achievements.

The Spaniard has already joked it will be of the Eiffel Tower, but I guess we’ll have to wait a bit of time for him to decide properly.

The world now awaits for Alcaraz

I loved this piece from our tennis editor James Hansen ahead of today's French Open men's singles final — and perhaps it carries even more weight now we know our victor.

After all, once again Carlos Alcaraz proved to be “a little bit borderline too much, you know.”

The piece is linked below. Enjoy.

Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev’s French Open final and the weight of history

A cracking final, dissected for you

What a compelling men's singles final we've been treated to at Roland Garros.

And if you missed a beat, given our briefing a read from the pens of our correspondents courtside in Paris, Charlie Eccleshare and Matthew Futterman .

More to come from these two?

If both Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz stay fit, you wonder when we'll next see these two face off in a Grand Slam final — although staying on opposite sides of the draws would help too, obviously.

Playing by a well-known mantra

In his press conference after beating Jannik Sinner in the semifinals, Carlos Alcaraz cracked up the room when he explained what his coaching team had told him when he was down: Play with your heart, play with your head... and you know the rest.

This was a vintage head-heart-balls performance from the Spaniard, managing to bring himself back from a listless period in the middle of the match when he made errors and took swipes at the condition of the court.

All that mattered was how it finished

A strange match in lots of ways, but Carlos Alcaraz belatedly found some magic and even if he hadn't, all that really mattered today was getting his hands on the Coupe des Mousquetaires for the first time.

As he put it on Friday: "Finals aren't for playing, they are for winning."

A third Grand Slam title having only just turned 21 is an astonishing achievement. To do it on three different surfaces even more so.

Alcaraz moving up in the world

The good news keeps coming for Carlos Alcaraz . With this French Open title, the Spanish third seed will now return to world No 2 in the ATP rankings.

That is behind Jannik Sinner , who already had top spot booked after Novak Djokovic’s withdrawal ahead of his quarterfinals due to his knee injury.

Alcaraz was last at No 2 back in March, while you have to go back to August 2023 for when the Spaniard was at No 1.

'I call you a team but it’s a family'

But Carlos Alcaraz saved his warmest words for the team that got him though his injury issues to make it through an entire Grand Slam undefeated:

💬 “The last month we were struggling a lot with the injury and we had a lot of doubts coming here. Trying not to practice too much.

“I’m really grateful to have the team I have. Everyone gives their heart just to make me improve as a player and a person, to grow up. I call you a team but it’s a family.”

Alcaraz's warm works for Zverev's comeback

As for Carlos Alcaraz , there was no hiding his incredible joy at what he’s just managed here at Roland Garros — the goal of getting his name alongside some of the Spanish greats.

Speaking on Court Philippe-Chatrier just now, Alcaraz started by addressing the man he beat, Alexander Zverev:

💬 “It’s unbelievable the level you are playing and the work you’re putting in. I think I know that everything you have been through these last years, with the injury on this court, the work that got you to this final…

“It has been an unbelievable journey and I’m sure it’ll give you the chance to win this tournament and a Slam very soon.”
