There's a long history of American bands hitting it big in the UK before they become known at home, so the Brooklyn-bred, NME-feted Bravery is part of a hallowed tradition. While the Bravery is solidly in the mold of mid-2000s groups worshipping at the altar of the 1980s, they manage a canny syncretism on their self-titled debut album. While the Rapture, Out Hud, Interpol, and other NYC brethren may have picked up on specific aspects of the Cure, New Order, et al, the Bravery manages to craft an all-inclusive sound that incorporates the most infectious aspects of the aforementioned influences and more. Bleeping Depeche Mode synths, twanging New Order basslines, Robert Smith-inflected vocals, Duran Duran-tinged dance-rock beats, and effects-laden Echo & the Bunnymen-via-Smiths guitar riffs all vie for space here. The Bravery boys are clearly frothing with enthusiasm for the glorious era they're too young to really remember, and their passion for the sound of those halcyon days of eyeliner and synthesizers is bursting from the seams of this disc.

The Bravery: Sam Endicott (vocals, guitar, programming); Michael Zakarin (guitar, background vocals); John Conway (synthesizer, programming, background vocals); Mike Hindert (bass instrument, background vocals); Anthony Burulcich (drums, background vocals).

Recording information: Bushwick Studios, Brooklyn, NY.

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Rolling Stone (p.70) - 3 stars out of 5 - "The Bravery do a jockier version of the New Wave competition, pumping the drums in straight-ahead tunes..."
Uncut (p.115) - 5 stars out of 5 - "[T]hey make a gritty New Wave noise that is a suspiciously precise fusion of Duran Duran and The Strokes....This album really is just too good to be true."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.94) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[T]his is a swaggering, unashamedly fun pop record that should fast-track The Bravery to radio ubiquity."

5 stars Recapturing a sound!
The Bravery have managed to record an album in 2005 that sounds like it was a "college radio" (alternative rock) masterpiece in 1981. Think classic New Order and Cult. A driving, thrumming beat not to be missed.

3 stars It's okay...
I know it mixes a bunch of good old stuff (see previous reviews on this album), but so do a whole lot of other bands...*cough*The Killers*cough*. All I'm saying is that this style is overused and The Bravery aren't really all that special in the first place. It's okay, but it's missing something that could make it great.

4 stars Brave debut
The Braverys album is great. Clearly many eighties influences, and the lead singer is obviously into Morrissey. Great sound, great synths, but perhaps a bit to dancey. But overall a great effort that is very enjoyable and quite cool in a retro new wave punk kinda way.....

VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD  (2002)

Bravery
CD $6.79  4.3 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine." Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath" which arguably features more full-on Irishness than the Dublin production of RIVERDANCE. There's also a lovely rendition of Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" that's topped only by Ron Wood's reappearance on a finale of the Stones' "Ruby Tuesday." VH1 PRESENTS THE CORRS LIVE IN DUBLIN is a fine mix of the band's greatest hits with a few ...

Arcade Fire Funeral CD  (2004)

Bravery
CD $11.89  4.5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems to come from a lifetime of listening to the Cure, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, and many others--even a dose of soul gets worked into these grand anthems. Chassagne delivers some spellbinding vocals on "Haiti," while the tinkling piano and strings on "Crown of Love" conjure up a heartbroken surfside prom. In 2004, this made many critics' year-end lists, and it's no wonder--the songs on FUNERAL are so packed with unique instrumentation, mesmerizing build-ups, and galvanizing tempo changes that they seem culled from some enigmatic, decade-spanning rock anthology. This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods ...

Bright Eyes I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning CD  (2005)

Bravery
CD $10.79  4.6 stars Top 100 Audio Samples Definitive Album
In early 2005, young indie icon Conor Oberst (AKA Bright Eyes) unveiled two full-length albums--I'M WIDE AWAKE, IT'S MORNING and DIGITAL ASH IN A DIGITAL URN. Whereas the latter proved to be a departure into electronic music, the former sticks to Oberst's established sound, which combines the urgency and heart-on-the-sleeve sentiment of emo-rock with twangy, down-home feel of alt-country and folk music. I'M WIDE AWAKE begins with Oberst telling a story that morphs into "At the Bottom of Everything," a jangly, upbeat tune featuring My Morning Jacket's Jim James on backing vocals. Throughout the record, Oberst reaches nearly hysterical peaks, seemingly overcome with emotion as his wavering voice, which often recalls Violent Femmes' Gordon Gano, veers almost, but not quite, out of control. Oberst's eccentric vocal delivery makes his pairings here with ever-graceful harmony singer Emmylou Harris intriguing, particularly on the rambling shuffle of "Another Travellin' Song." Although Oberst manages to work up plenty of energy on some tracks, the quieter tunes, including the dreamy New York ...

Mars Volta Frances The Mute CD  (2005)

CD $11.49  4 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
FRANCES THE MUTE, the highly anticipated follow-up to the Mars Volta's stunning debut, DE-LOUSED IN THE COMATORIUM, finds the band's masterminds, Cedric Bixler Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (both formerly of At the Drive-In), diving further into their bizarre, unique sonic aesthetic. Here various forms of Latin music merge with ambient passages, jazzy interludes, and fierce progressive rock. The Latin influence, in fact, is more evident than ever, with Bixler Zavala often alternating between Spanish and English lyrics, and full-on salsa sections providing a melodic respite from the energetic chaos (particularly on "L'Via L'Viaquez," which features pianist Larry Harlow). Despite the complexity ...

Bloc Party Silent Alarm CD  (2005)

Bravery
CD $10.79  4.5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples Definitive Album
On this immensely appealing debut, SILENT ALARM, the London-based quartet Bloc Party fulfills the promise of their barnstorming 2004 singles "Banquet" and "She's Hearing Voices." Led by magnetic frontman Kele Okereke, the band extracts the most fascinating aspects of the previous 25 years of British indie rock and fuses them into a new entity--complete with smarts and heart--never delving into retro-kitsch or slavish imitation. Okerere's urgent yelp most often recalls a fired-up incarnation of the Cure's Robert Smith, but the sounds the group creates echo everything from Gang of Four's staccato militarism ("Banquet") to the reverberating guitars of the Chameleons ("Price of Gas"). At times, Bloc Party also recalls the ecstatic soundwashes of early-1990s cult pioneers like Ride ("Plans") and Slowdive ("Compliments"). Lyrically, Okerere tilts toward an endearing adolescent pessimism that, even when the music is less than mopey, gives him away as a goth at heart ("and the ravens are leaving the tower/make your peace"). However, at the end of "Price ...

CD $8.49  4 stars Top 100 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Emerging in an era rife with New Wave rip-off artists, the Kaiser Chiefs ran the risk of their sharp suits, angular haircuts, and early-1980s influences being taken the wrong way. While many of their peers shamelessly aped the most obvious aspects of the Cure, New Order, et al, Kaiser Chiefs (the name comes from a South African soccer team) much more subtly incorporated the sensibilities of their influences. Though one can hear traces of everything from Madness to XTC and Adam & the Ants on the Chiefs 2005 debut album, EMPLOYMENT, these Brits are no one's slavish imitators. Their undeniably catchy melodies, sarcastically witty lyrics, and often-sophisticated ...

Welcome Table
Dave Bass Welcome Table CD  (1997)

Bravery
CD $12.69
DAVE BASSDave Bass grew up in the rural and suburban New Jersey towns of Lakewood and Red Bank respectively. At an early age, Dave was affected by the music he heard while attending his uncle's Pentecostal church. Uncle Jim (Deacon Marshall) played the drums and provided the steady beat for the bluesy sounds coming from the red guitar of Elder Reed, the pastor. But if that was the spark, combustion happened when the visiting gospel groups from Philadelphia and New York City came to the church for programs. Dave developed a love for gospel music which eventually led to his membership in two groups: First, "The Mighty Royal Trumpets" of Montclair, N.J. (1979-82) and, secondly, "The Spiritual Volunteers" of Washington, D.C. (1982-95) Dave Bass, former lead singer for "The Spiritual Volunteers", is a gospel songwriter and vocalist in the Sam Cooke tradition of gospel music. As lead singer with "The Spiritual Volunteers" for thirteen years, Dave worked with other noted groups such as "The Soul Stirrers", "The Sensational Nightingales", "Willie Neal Johnson and The Gospel Keynotes", and "The Harmonizing Four". In addition, Dave has written over 70 songs and contributed the title song, along with one other ("A Strange World"), to the 1984 Spiritual Volunteers release entitled "Over On The Other Shore".Because of this exceptional background, Daniel Wolff, author of "You Send Me (The Life and Times of Sam Cooke)" asked Dave to bring Sam Cooke's music to life at book signings in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. in 1996.Now a solo artist, Dave Bass founded a new recording label (DNB Associates, Inc.) and released his debut CD entitled "The Welcome Table" on December 1, 1997. The CD features eight original songs written ...

The background of Alley Kat is a combination of tragedy, triumph and understanding. His childhood was anything but normal; experiencing life from several perspectives. One, from a father who had spent the better years of his life in prison and the other from a mother who always saw Alley Kat as the past she couldn’t confront. Alley Kat was left to learn things the hard way. Taking it to the streets, Alley Kat began selling CDs out of his trunk and grabbing the mic anywhere they’d let him.

Delatha "Del" Wayne Collins born September 19, 1973, Boston, Massachusetts. I am one of five children born to Mr & Mrs. Spencer M. Collins III. I have one older brother Spencer IV and three younger sisters, Rovenia, Cherayna and Kyriele. My love for music came at a very young age; maybe about 5 or 6 years old. My mother would play lots of music as far as the Motown sound and etc. My father is a drummer in a band so I think that is where my love of music comes from as I was in my early teens, myself and three other guys wanted to start this group "True Definition" but for personal reasons that didn't work out. I began recording my own music over instrumental beats in my house.In 1998, I put my music to the test by performing for my local church group. That was the first time that I have allowed my music to be heard by anyone other than myself. Even though they liked my performance I still didn't feel that I knew enough. I didn't want to just do gospel rap. I wanted to take it to the next level.Not quite sure where this was going to take me, I still continued to write and rap and wondered would I ever be good enough to pursue this career. It wasn't until late 2006 after speaking ...
