The Bravery

The Bravery were an American dance-rock band formed in New York City in 2003 that consisted of lead vocalist Sam Endicott, guitarist Michael Zakarin, keyboardist John Conway, bassist Mike Hindert and drummer Anthony Burulcich.

They released three studio albums: The Bravery (2005), The Sun and the Moon (2007) and Stir the Blood (2009). They also released a remixed edition of their second album called The Sun and the Moon Complete in 2008 and an Internet live album called Live at the Wiltern Theater in 2010. Their music was a synthesis of 1980s-influenced genres such as post-punk revival, dance-rock, and new wave.

In April of 2014, Endicott revealed through The Bravery's website and Facebook page, that all the members are taking part in separate avenues of creative interests and that, for now, there are no plans for The Bravery in the foreseeable future.

History

Formation and rising fame (2003)

Frontman-songwriter Sam Endicott and keyboardist John Conway were classmates at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York. As freshmen, their musical partnership began while playing local bars in numerous recording projects, sometimes including future CSI: Miami star Jonathan Togo. After graduating, Endicott and Conway moved to New York City where Endicott switched from bass guitar to vocals and began writing music that would later become "The Bravery".
