Not only do The Joy Formidable have a new video out today, they are releasing a new album on January 22 called Wolf's Law. I don't know about you all, but this is one album I'm very much looking forward to hearing!

DeLuna D2!
Deluna day 2 had a more eclectic blend
of artists. Not knowing where to begin, I just kinda wandered around. Such good
luck because I came across up and coming Pensacola-area band, The Real Hooks. I didn’t know much
about them and was stoked when I ran into 2/3 of them later in the day for an
interview - Raleigh was at a her high school band competition – HA! Can't wait to see more of them - it's inevitable!
Another band that took me by surprise
was Saints of Valory. I didn’t know
about them at first but they pulled me – along with a bunch of others – in. I
was constantly overhearing people say, “Hey, did you hear those Saints of
Valory guys!? They were really good!” This convo was taking
place between concert goers, vendors, and even in the media lounge!
The Joy Formidable. They’re doing it right. Ritzy Bryan (lead vocals, guitar) is a firecracker. She was like a jolt of caffeine and can seriously shred on the guitar! Check out her muscles in the pics! Those arms don’t come from a gym routine! This was only their 2nd show on a beach (the BEST beach at that!) and they killed it. Definitely one to watch right here!
Next up was Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.
Joan was celebrating her 54th birthday this day and I’m sure her
gift was looking at the crowd and thinking – I’m more badass than kids ½ my
age! Band of Horses toned it down
with really chill initial songs though they escalated into a true festivus. Got
everyone in the mood to have, as our one friend so eloquently stated, their “Foo-ginity
taken!”
Are you serious Foo Fighters? Way to put on a show! Memories of these guys popping Mentos in cheesy videos were distant memories from the show they put on at DeLuna. Ending their 18 month tour, they really showed the world why they’re such legends. Following Foo Fighters with Paper Diamond was hilarious because that’s when people started to really get weird – LED hoola hoops, horse face masks, the little mermaid, and Poseidon just to name a few. Great end to #delunafest2012 day 2 – just ask the kids on stage at Diplo’s show!

The Joy Formidable have been on my radar for quite a while but I only just saw them live at this year's SXSW. The energy in their live show completely blew me away! It certainly stands out in my memory of that trip. I have since seen them 3 more times, fangirl status!
No matter what variance of "a bad day" I'm having, when I turn on Sam Cooke or Otis Redding it's suddenly better. Mayer Hawthorne brings me to that same place. If you haven't yet, you need to pick up his latest album but also do yourself a favor and get his first too:)
These are selection of albums that I've been burning out all year long.
