A five star e.p. definitely, I don't have the foresight to give a band this young five stars (but are they ever good). The Bravery was presented to me in a stack of discs, along with new albums from Bloc Party, Daft Punk, Beck, Soulwax, and Doves. Bloc Party and The Bravery have found their way to playlists in my iPod that I just can't scroll past to get to the other discs. I love the sound of The Bravery. It seems as though a New York band has perfected danceable rock that works off the dance-floor as well. Strings, keys and vocals work together perfectly to create a unique enough sound within a still blossoming genre. Less campy than The Killers, with a more extensive repertoire than Franz Ferdinand, The Bravery will not disappoint fans of any of the aforementioned bands.

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.

This is probably one of very few ep records that I have listened to where you can decide if the band is decent or not. With catchy "Franz Ferdinandish" bass lines and synth sounds that will get stuck in your heads, The Bravery is able to make listeners eager to hear more in March when their full album will be released. I highly recomend this record to fans of The Strokes, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Elefant, and The Sounds.

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.

Without a doubt in my mind, The Bravery is on the fast track to becoming the best band of 2005. Already playing to sold out shows in Europe and the USA, and only on the support of a 3 track EP. It is absolutely astounding. When their CD is released in March, there will be a total breakout of the Bravery into all of pop culture. They do not need to be compared to any other bands in their emerging genre, just the fact that they are one of the best bands to emerge in the new century. The only advice I can give is to buy this EP, buy the CD(when it comes out in March), and go see them at a show.

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!

Having heard about The Bravery in the music press, I got hold of a copy of the "Unconditional" EP and was immediately hooked. I've since heard tracks from the new album and today bought the single "An Honest Mistake". They are going to be huge, appealing both to fans of early '80s electronic/indie music and more current favourites such as The Killers alike. Definitely the ones to watch in 2005!

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.

this straightforward single includes the original mix of Unconditional, with vocals reminiscent of the Cure, and a rockin' alternative new wave retro feel. The one and only remix runs 6 minutes, and Benassi remixes to current dance standards, giving it a filter disco mix that totally alters all the vocals. Most fans of the style of music the Bravery records won't really go for it, but if you have a wide variety of tastes, you'll probably enjoy it.

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.
