You’ll keep asking yourself, “Is that Morrissey’s son?”, but you’ll never get a satisfying answer. And you’re missing the point. Don’t let the hair fool you, the singer is way more of a ’50s punk and less of an ’80s rockstar than Morrissey ever was.
Despite the teutonic dancedrums and feathery synth that highlight each song, The Bravery are not an ’80s band, nor do they strive to be. The crowd at TT’s couldn’t really figure that out and have fun. They wanted a more serious mod band.
But The Bravery isn’t designed for it. They’re built on popjam guitar licks and erratic, almost farcical vocals.
That, and the bassist’s impressive ability to chug bottle after bottle of beer while somehow cutting riffs at the same time.
Maybe the crowd was just in a bitchy mood because it was so cold outside, cause it took more than a while for them to warm up to and appreciate Das Bravery. If they come back when it’s warm and play the Middle East, I guarantee you it will be one of the most fun shows of the season.
The show was hot, the eyeliner, teenyboppers and wannabe 40yr old hipsters… not so much. By far, the best part of the show was C4 screaming along to the songs in the ear of whatever 6′5 jackass was standing in front of him at the moment. Check this band out while you can, though. Catchy as hell!

yo, the bravery is AMAZING. THier 1st album was immaculate, its one of those albums liek thriller, or Bloc Partys Silent Alarm, that every song is flawless and catchy as a mother fucker, (silent alaram deff, thriller not too much) theyre relativily small, but at the rate thier gaining popularity they wont be, i heard thier single on the radio for the 1st time today from thier new album and it was like my kid graduated highschool lol, and Fearless was featured on CSI:Criminal Intent for a solid minute or so, theyre gettin bit, and thier live shows are great. Enjoy them while you can before they turn in My Chem or some shyt
