NAMED ONE OF ＃ Rolling Stone's 10 Artiste to
Watch / Spin Magazine's ※Next Big Things§ for 2005 / Voted #1 ※Most
Promising Act of 2005 by The BBC's Sound of Music 2005 Music Poll /
Village Voice's ※Next Official Big Thing§ |
|
※Call it rock with a New Wave edge or New
Wave with a rock edge 每 The Bravery's music is darkly danceable and
eminently catchy.§ 每 Rolling Stone |
|
※What do you get when you cross The Strokes
with The Killers? Something a lot like The Bravery, a thrusting, pouting
New York based group whose synthesizer laced rock and
just-got-out-of-bed vocals are so 2005 it hurts.§ 每 NME |
|
※On ＆Honest Mistake,' NYC post-punk
sensations The Bravery add new-wave synths to gritty grooves for a retro
sound that's catchier than Interpol＃§ 每 Entertainment Weekly |
|
※Synth rock that floats like the Cure but
stings like the Clash§ 每 SPIN Magazine |
|
※Flashy local band The Bravery, whose
keyboards sound like they were lifted straight from the practice rooms
of every 80's band you ever loved, is about to blow up＃§ 每 Times Out New
York |
|
※Put the Cure, the Killers and a few male
models in a juicer and you'll be drinking the sweet punch of The
Bravery.§ - Blender |
|
※What got record labels interested is that
we had sex with at least one girl who worked at every label.§ 每 Anthony
Burulcich (Drummer) |
|
The punchy modern rock outfit the Bravery
features Sam Endicott (vocals/guitar), John Conway (Keyboards), Anthony
Burulcich (Drums), Michael Zakarin (Guitar), and Mike Hindert (bass). He
New York five-piece got its start in early 2003. After playing its first
gig at the Stinger Club in Brooklyn in mid-summer, the Bravery's
post-punk-influenced dance rock was all the rage. |
|
Critics almost immediately trounced on the
band. The Village Voice proclaimed the Bravery to be ※ New York 's
Official Next Big Thing§ while MTV and Rolling Stone hailed them as an
artist to watch. A co-headlining tour with Ash in the U.S in spring 2005
coincided the release of the Bravery's self-titled album- MacKenzie
Wilson, All Music Guide. |
|
※The name is also connected with living in
New York in this really weird time. People are constantly waiting for
something bad to happen. I wrote these songs and formed this band to
make sure I didn't get overcome by that sense of fear. That's what this
band is about 每 standing tall and not being afraid§. Sam |
|
One thing that sometimes puzzles people
about the Bravery is why they sound electronic when all the bands they
like are punk guitar bands. |
|
Sam doesn't know why they sound like they
do. He just wanted to do something different. Of course, the
circumstances in which they recorder their album (most of which was
constructed in a Sam's bedroom with Radio Shack mike and an old iMac)
and the fact that Sam's best friend John Conway is totally obsessed with
analog keyboards obviously helped shape their sound. |
|
Less than six months later, The Bravery is
one of NYC's most prominent up-and-coming bands. They have just finished
a full-length record and are preparing for a May residency at the Lower
East Side 's Arlene Grocery. |

Catch the bravery and electrico LIVE and
LOUD in Singapore . |
