In preparation for their upcoming UK tour, The Joy Formidable have made their new EP 'The Big More' available to stream on SoundCloud! 

This includes the awesome ‘Anemone’…. which made me realise I’ve been pronouncing ‘Anemone’ wrong my whole life. It’s “ann-EMM-oh-nee”, not “ann-ENN-oh-mee”. Who knew? 

Anyway, The Big More EP will be sold on their UK tour, which starts next week on 13th Oct at the Birmingham Institute, as a limited edition run of 500 CDs, plus online from the usual DSPs from 17th Oct. The band then head over to the U.S. to go out on the road with their biggest fan Dave Grohl on the Foo Fighters tour in November. 

The Joy Formidable are currently on tour in the USA where their growth has been exponential before returning to the UK for a full UK tour for October. During their time Stateside, the band will perform on the Letterman show on Thursday 6th October. They follow that final trip around the UK in 2011 with a further visit to North America to support Foo Fighters throughout November.
