The Bravery Album: “Unconditional”

You cant compare this band to any other band with that post punk/80s new wave sound. The Bravery have a very great sound that just blows your mind espically with the vocals. I cant get enough of their sound, just makes me move everytime. Im tellin you its not the same as the other bands out there, a much different sound that will keep you stuck and listen to them over and over again. This is a group to watch for in 2005, and it sucks that they are going to be touring in europe for a while. I just cant wait to hear them live.

There are going to be a lot of comparisons drawn to The Bravery: Interpol, The Strokes, The Killers, U2, Joy Division, New Order, Duran Duran, Elefant, and probably thousands more. It's almost impossible not to. But once you get beyond who they sound like, what you're left with is that this is probably the greatest band of all time (hyperbole for effect). I saw them live just last night and they were amazing and I still can't hear out of my left ear. If there is any justice in the world (and there is not), these guys will absolutely blow up in 2005. Buy this. Buy their album when it comes out in March. Trust me. Get on the bandwagon now.

Read about this band on the BBC website and just had to go on their site and check them out. From the "New Order" sounding 'It was An Honest Mistake' to the U2-esque 'Unconditional', they sound fantastic! Definately one to watch in the coming years!

The Bravery are excellent and amongst the recent slew of post punk/new wave rip off artists, The Bravery are doing moderately interesting and at least catchy things with this oft slaughtered genre.

If you like The Killers, you should check out the Bravery, who do everything The Killers do except with style and aplomb. Once you hear the Bravery there is no excuse to continue listening to the Killers, and even if you don't like the Bravery you should probobly stop listening to the Killers anyhow.

I can imagine myself old and wrinkly, listening to this song and falling in love all over again with Sam Endicott. The songs are brilliant, and I saw him performing "live" and I must say, Mr. Endicott could sing awesomely. Unconditional is a great single, as infectious as the first single, An Honest Mistake, and just listen to how emotional he sounds like when he sings, "I just want, I just want love." it's utterly fascinating. My only complaint, is the scanty lyrics. I wish this song could be extended longer.
