The Bravery is an interesting band based out of New York City. The synth-driven sound is such a reminder to me, recalling the 80s sound of New Wave, very Flock of Seagulls or Modern English, while maintaining a crisp edge more indicative of today. The Bravery are Sam Endicott (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Michael Zakarin (lead guitar [also known as Moose], backing vocals), John Conway (keyboards, backing vocals), Mike Hindert (bass, backing vocals), and Anthony Burulcich (drums, backing vocals).

The Bravery dropped a new album today, called Stir The Blood. To celebrate the release [which I hope to be reviewing once I get a copy for myself], The Bravery stopped by the Yahoo Studios and record a live version of their latest single, Slow Poison.

The Bravery are a great band and their sound is characteristic of that New York sounds, similar to bands like The Killers (although they are from Vegas baby); Interpol and of course The Strokes.
ReplyDeleteI am a fan - def there sound is characteristic of 80's new wave of which I am a big fan.
I also heard that some of the members have been writing pop songs in between gigs - they wrote "She Wolf" for "Shakira".
Great post.
SteveA, I just discovered them, and really like 'em. Got the CD, and when I get the chance, will be listening and reviewing. And I love Interpol and the Strokes.
