Check out The Bravery

Forget for a moment the rumors that suggest the lead singer of this New York five-piece used to play in a ska outfit called, yes, Skabba the Hut. It's a given that a band that so brazenly apes the Strokes' scratchy vocals, Interpol's deep bass grooves and the Killers' shimmering new wave melodies is hardly concerned about being written off as unfashionably fashionable. In two years time the Bravery could very well be making robotic Afro-Cuban funk albums, or whatever other hipster style happens to be troubling the charts at the time, and it would suit them just fine. Right now, the group has the neo-post-punk thing nailed, complete with warm-fuzzy tunes like "An Honest Mistake" and "Unconditional," that, if nothing else, should at least manage lure a few more bodies onto the dance-floor. -- Aidin Vaziri

The review nails it on the head, but the album is entertaining, nonetheless. Highly recommended.

The song I've heard on XM isn't good enough to warrant me listening to anything else by them. Good review though.

 

[screwd01]

Honest Mistake is on EA MVP Baseball 2005 and I can't stand it.

 

[JohnCU]

it's a great album, kinda gets old quick, though.

I hope 'Fearless' is the next single!

"...and I know, that's why you love me Chico!"

edit: nevermind, 'Fearless' IS the next single!

[Red Dawn]

Their one song is ok until you've heard it a million times. I don't expect them to be around long.

 

[UNCjigga]

Who cares if they have staying power or not. Its good stuff for the summer!

 

[Toasthead]
