One of the best.

"A five star e.p. definitely, I don't have the foresight to give a band this young five stars (but are they ever good). The Bravery was presented to me in a stack of discs, along with new albums from Bloc Party, Daft Punk, Beck, Soulwax, and Doves. Bloc Party and The Bravery have found their way to playlists in my iPod that I just can't scroll past to get to the other discs. I love the sound of The Bravery. It seems as though a New York band has perfected danceable rock that works off the dance-floor as well. Strings, keys and vocals work together perfectly to create a unique enough sound within a still blossoming genre. Less campy than The Killers, with a more extensive repertoire than Franz Ferdinand, The Bravery will not disappoint fans of any of the aforementioned bands."
Best Band of '05

"Without a doubt in my mind, The Bravery is on the fast track to becoming the best band of 2005. Already playing to sold out shows in Europe and the USA, and only on the support of a 3 track EP. It is absolutely astounding. When their CD is released in March, there will be a total breakout of the Bravery into all of pop culture. They do not need to be compared to any other bands in their emerging genre, just the fact that they are one of the best bands to emerge in the new century. The only advice I can give is to buy this EP, buy the CD(when it comes out in March), and go see them at a show."
The Bravery

"Having heard about The Bravery in the music press, I got hold of a copy of the "Unconditional" EP and was immediately hooked. I've since heard tracks from the new album and today bought the single "An Honest Mistake". They are going to be huge, appealing both to fans of early '80s electronic/indie music and more current favourites such as The Killers alike. Definitely the ones to watch in 2005!"
