The Sun And The Moon Complete [2 CD]
CD with Bonus DVD with four songs. The Bravery is Sam Endicott (vocals); Michael Zakarin (guitar); Michael Barreto Hindert (bass instrument); Anthony Burulcich (drums); John Conway (keyboard programming). On its second album, The Sun And The Moon, the Bravery keeps its strong 1980s influence intact, but eases up on the synthesizers, allowing for a warmer, guitar-driven sound that is enhanced by ace producer Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Train). While the New York City-based Alt-Rock band has largely ditched the Glam/New Wave look, it's still clearly indebted to specific British acts--the mid-tempo lead single "Time Won't Let Me Go" features frontman Sam Endicott in full-on Robert Smith mode, and "This Is Not the End" works a riff that distinctly recalls the Clash's "London Calling." 12 tracks.
