As many readers of Panethos know, The Joy Formidable is one of my favorite alternative rock bands on the planet. This trio from Wales knows how to blast fantastic rock n’ roll right out of the stratosphere. The Big Roar was my favorite album of 2011 and the song “Whirring” was my favorite track too.

Well, I am thrilled to note that the band’s second full-length album, entitled Wolf’s Law is due t be released on January 21st in the United Kingdom and January 22nd in the United States. If these first two songs/videos are any indication, the Grammy’s may want to just go ahead and inscribe The Joy Formidable on the awards right now.

Both the songs and videos of “Wolf’s Law” and “This Ladder is Ours” are superbly amazing. Here are the official videos for each of these ass-kicking tunes. Thank you again, Wales for sharing this great rock band with the rest of us. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
