The Bravery: A Biography

First of all, I would just like to say that The Bravery is probably one of my all-time favorite bands. I have a couple of singles from them including: “Ours”, “Time Won’t Let Me Go”, “Honest Mistake”, and of course “Believe”. This band was formed in 2003 during the post-punk revival in New York City. Sam Endicott and John Conway came up with the idea for their band in college where they competed in the collegiate ska outfit Skabba the Hut. By early 2003, The Bravery was formed, and they moved to New York City. Anthony Burulcich, Michael Zakarin, and Mike H. were added to the band before they performed live. Endicott is the lead singer and he plays the guitar, Conway plays the keyboard, Burulcich is the drummer, Zakarin also plays the guitar, and Mike H. is the bassist. Their music is a combination of dance and indie rock music. The Bravery got their start while playing at the Brooklyn Stinger Club. Next came performing at Arlene’s Grocery, and the final step came in the way of word of mouth. The Bravery was offered a recording contract by Island Def Jams in the United States, and they also signed with Loog in the U.K. They were moving up in the music industry.
