The punchy modern rock outfit The Bravery features Sam Endicott (vocals/guitar), John Conway (keyboards), Anthony Burulcich (drums), Michael Zakarin (guitar) and Mike H. (bass). The New York five-piece got their start in early 2003. After playing their first gig at the Stinger Club in Brooklyn in mid-summer, The Bravery's post punk-influenced dance rock was all the rage. A residency at Arlene's Grocery and whispers on the street eventually led The Bravery to a recording contract with Island Def Jam in the States and Loog in the UK. The "Unconditional" EP followed in early 2005. Critics almost immediately trounced on the band. The Village Voice proclaimed The Bravery to be "New York's Official Next Big Thing" while MTV and Rolling Stone hailed them as an artist to watch. A co-headlining tour with Ash in the US in spring 2005 coincided the release of The Bravery's self-titled album. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
