The Joy Formidable Talk Life in D.C. at Landmark Music Festival

Welsh indie-rockers the Joy Formidable have a surprising relationship with Washington, D.C., home to the first annual Landmark Music Festival. Frontwoman Rhiannon "Ritzy" Bryan used to live in the nation's capital. "It's such a beautiful city for a festival. For me, I used to live here straight out of college. I came to D.C. on a whim. I remember coming out the subway and walking onto the mall and just kind of being like, 'Blimey!'" she told Fuse onsite at the fest.

"D.C. has always been great. We've always enjoyed playing here," bassist Rhydian Dafydd Davies adds. "It's very much a musical city. You kind of sense that in every gig we've done."
