The Bravery: Sam Endicott (vocals); Michael Zakarin (guitar); Michael Barreto Hindert (bass instrument); Anthony Burulcich (drums); John Conway (keyboard programming).
On its second album, THE SUN AND THE MOON, the Bravery keeps its strong 1980s influence intact, but eases up on the synthesizers, allowing for a warmer, guitar-driven sound that is enhanced by ace producer Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Train). While the New York City-based alt-rock band has largely ditched the glam/New Wave look, it's still clearly indebted to specific British acts--the mid-tempo lead single "Time Won't Let Me Go" features frontman Sam Endicott in full-on Robert Smith mode, and "This Is Not the End" works a riff that distinctly recalls the Clash's "London Calling." However, these blatant nods don't drastically detract from the group's lively, accessible sound, which is best showcased on the slinky "Believe."
THE SUN AND THE MOON COMPLETE is a two-disc revision of the Bravery's 2007 single-disc release THE SUN AND THE MOON. The first disc is the entire 2007 album as it was originally produced by alternative rock hitmaker Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Michael Penn, etc.). The new second disc is a near-total reworking of the album as helmed by the Bravery's frontman and primary songwriter, Sam Endicott, whose quirkier take on the album's songs emphasizes the band's roots in the new-wave revival scene. This two-disc set's list price is the same as that of a single disc.
Like many of-the-moment bands, the Bravery know that yesterday's trends are today's trash. And, like the band's former sparring partners and fellow new wave revivalists the Killers, the Bravery move away from the style that made them famous (or, at the very least, incorporate new sounds into their music) on their second album. Unlike the Killers, who cross-pollinated their love for Bruce Springsteen, U2, and the mythic American West into the rambling but intriguing Sam's Town, on The Sun and the Moon the Bravery try different ideas on for size, but don't commit enough to make them completely convincing. The band spends a significant chunk of the album trying to be as serious and earnest as they were stylish and giddy on The Bravery. On "Time Won't Let Me Go," they adopt a more mainstream rock sound, ditch the synths, and even name-drop Bryan Adams' "Summer of '69" in the lyrics; "The Ocean" delivers strings, acoustic guitars, and all the other trappings of a formerly fun band getting too serious for their own good. Worst of all is "Tragedy Bound," a song about loving a damaged woman that has questionable lyrics like "I'm starting to suspect she likes the abuse." Elsewhere on The Sun and the Moon, the band delivers competent pop songs that fall just short of being truly memorable; "Bad Sun," which could pass for a Dandy Warhols B-side, is the best of the bunch. In between all of their attempted makeovers, the Bravery return to their bracing, '80s-inspired sound, albeit with sleeker, slicker production than on their debut. And while "Every Word Is a Knife in My Ear" is melodramatic and "Split Me Wide Open" is pure Cure pastiche, this is still the sound that the Bravery seem to feel the most, and do the best. ~ Heather Phares

Average Rating: (3.5 out of 5 stars) 3.5 stars

4 stars Great Cd If you like Bravery
Everybody rips on the Bravery saying they are a an image. Most music nowadays is image. The fact is Bravery make great music and the Sun&Moon is a solid follow up to their debut. My favorites so far are "Bad Sun","Fistful of Sand" and "Believe". PitchFork gave this a 1.8/10, I think the Bravery make good music,period.

3 stars Correction! 5 out of 5
I have to correct my original score, I love this album. This album has gotten average reviews and even horrible reviews, so my taste in music must be really bad because I think this is one of the best albums of the '07. Highly Recommend it!

4 stars I love The Bravery
I don't know how they are getting a bad rap. I only knew them from one song but saw them open up for Incubus in concert a couple of months ago and fell in absolute love with them. They sounded fantastic and put on a great live show for basically being unknown to me. Now I love most all of their songs. It's hard to find good and new alternative music in the last few years and The Bravery has given me hope that better days are on the way for music again.

3 stars What happened?
I must've loved their S/T album to death. Dance-punk must've been coined wrongly. If there was more variance on this CD, that would be cool. Three tracks are useless as filler. I mean 'Believe' starts on the right foot. 'Bad Sun' could be used in an ad somewhere. I see the hidden talent behind this band. Just seems to have hit a stumbling block. Get better next time!

In November 2005, the annual Latin Grammy Awards were presented for the first time in Spanish. Besides making life easier for the artists giving their acceptance speeches, this move affirmed that just six years after their inception, the Latin Grammys have come into their own. Certainly the sheer size and increasing independence of the Spanish-language music industry helps to explain how the best-selling album for 2005 in Spain could receive a pop nomination but go otherwise unnoticed in the United States. That's one theory; the other that pops into mind when listening to Pajaros en la Cabeza, the fourth release by the Zaragoza pop duo Amaral, is that it's a Spanish thing. Perhaps it really does take being the first generation in nearly half ...

Doug Sahm Texas Tornado CD  (1973)

Sun And The Moon
CD $10.95  4 stars
Also released in 1973, TEXAS TORNADO is the second solo album that Tex-Mex legend Doug Sahm recorded for Atlantic Records following a long run with his inimitable band the Sir Douglas Quintet. Many of the tracks are taken from the same sessions that produced Sahm's previous solo album AND BAND, and while this record is tighter and doesn't swing with quite the same deliciously languid vibe as its predecessor, it's distinctive in that it contains almost all originals as opposed to the various covers and standards on AND BAND. With that said, it's nearly impossible to ever go wrong with a Doug Sahm project, and TEXAS TORNADO is no exception. Sahm's love of R&B, country, Tejano, and myriad other American roots forms ("Blue Horizon" even tosses in a bit of Fillmore West-style psychedelia) is on full display, as is his exceptional talent as a singer, player, and band leader.
Doug Sahm recorded much of his second Atlantic album, Texas Tornado, around the release of his first, Doug Sahm and Band, and even used outtakes from those sessions to fill out this 11-track record, so it would seem that the two records would be nearly identical. But, as they say, appearances can ...
