here’s the latest promotional photo of the bravery, a new wave nyc rock band who released a rather good record a few years back. i was disheartened by reports in which lead singer sam endicott said their new material might abandon synthesizers altogether, but this new picture really puts me in a panic.

first the make-up goes, then the rock and roll! i fear this could lead them down the tedious path of brandon flowers; do the bravery really want to end up boring like their former rivals?? check out the bravery’s official site to preview a few new tracks. there’s definitely nothing brilliant like “an honest mistake” to be found. stay tuned.

here’s the band in happier times:

by the way, i apologize for the use of “bloody” in the context above. i realize that i am not british, but i consider this slang to be therapeutic when i am upset.
