The Sun And The Moon

The Bravery: 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." However, these blatant nods don't drastically detract from the group's lively, accessible sound, which is best showcased on the slinky "Believe."
