The Long Island Showdown

There aren’t very many new bands in todays current music climate that are creating music that gets me too excited about their future. Most new bands just seem to be carbon copy after carbon copy. The same recycled hooks, same song structures and afraid take a risk and experiment with new sounds.  Brave Citizens is a clear cut exception.
       Brave Citizens is the result of Andrew Capra (vocals/guitar) and Adam Bialik (guitar/vocals) exchanging demos and ideas across California.  The two eventually  met in San Francisco to record what turned out to be one of the most impressive EP’s to be released in the last few years. Their debut EP, Revolutions, is the perfect blend of both arena rock, at times reminiscent of U2 (yes, i said U2) and ambient underground rock, often compared to MuteMath. The band has masterfully crafted 4 songs that you will find hard to forget and will have you sucked in within the first few chords.
       Since the release of Revolutions, Brave Citizens have toured the country, been featured in Alternative Press and AbsolutePunk, and have received radio spins on L.A.’s KROC. The band has also been creating quite the industry buzz, playing showcases for both indie and major labels.  It’s only a matter of time before this band gets swiped up.
       Check out some tracks on the bands myspace and be sure to pick up Revolutions.
