Bravery.
Hailing from New York, the Bravery evokes ‘80s New Wave that you can rock and dance to with a look that says they really like the Clash -- except on days when they're feeling Andy Warhol. The band got its start more or less as a backlash to the city’s electroclash scene, which singer Sam Endicott has openly admitted to hating –- at least the bands that produced it.
The Bravery is so bad ass they told the NME that all the bands they’re compared to like Franz Ferdinand and the Killers are Danny Devito while the Bravery is Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The Bravery is on a co-headlining U.S. tour with Ireland’s Ash through the end of April and then head to the UK to thrill crowds there.
Check out songs from their debut album, which streets in the UK March 22 and in the States 29.

While listening to iTunes on shuffle the other day, I found myself...
In his new album, Asa Breed, electronic superstar Matthew Dear managed to jettison both the galactic techno tendencies of his Audion project and the more experimental glitches of his debut, Leave Luck to Heaven. What's left behind is a moody pop album with touches of early new wave, rock and the ghosts of his techno past. Live drum kits fill out familiar 4/4 rhythms,...
