“Don’t look at me that way!”
Wanna know what’s busting my drums (ear variety) today? Well it’s The Bravery. More specifically, their single, “An Honest Mistake”. Yep, it’s another ‘the’ band but if The Killers hadn’t done it first, these New Yorkers would be hailed as the band that resurected the eighties synths and the Robert Smith drawl. Borrowing a bit from the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s and a lot from The Strokes, The Bravery have crafted another elegantly retro rock album for 2005.
Other great examples on their debut self-titled album include: “Unconditional”, “Fearless”, “Tyrant” and “Rites of Spring”. The Bravery are skilled musicians and this is a finely polished album that makes you feel great. It won’t be available at Musica, I’m sorry to say. But that doesn’t matter anymore, does it? iTunes.
Class.
‘Class’?
No bru, whats class is tomahawk boys hairdo over there. Doesn’t he know thats sooo last season??
oh…and wats the bet their cd will have an advisory at the back that says
“7 Cows were killed whilst clothing this band”
I’m sorry mark. Is this a Fashion post? Oh, I thought it was about the art of music? So just to clarify, this is the look we should be going for? Um .. no. I’d rather burn my Nirvana cds! (I didn’t mean that Kurt, I swear!)
