It's about to get loud in the Bluebird.

The explosive hard rock sound of The Joy Formidable is sizeable enough to fill a stadium, but their epic riffs booming behind guitarist Ritzy Bryan's glitzy vocals were made to echo down Walnut Street.

The band's shoegazing guitar noise and shredding power chords on songs like their hit single "Whirring" derives from the craggy coastline in Wales. And like Ireland's crashing waves, Joy pounds away in quick sets that sample from their 2011 debut album "The Big Roar."
