 The Bravery: self-titled - PopMatters Music Review
Their debut, however, has surprised me. While the Bravery are certainly not in league with the Strokes, Interpol, or the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, this record is a strong one with some unexpected surprises.
To compare the Bravery to the Strokes is a bit unfair, since their only real similarity is that they are both over-hyped New York City bands.
In general, however, the Bravery are intense, a bit dark, but always driving and rocking, propelled by well-chosen synth lines, steady and kicking drum lines, active yet tasteful bass work, and loud, crashing guitars.

 The Bravery - New York's Next It Band
Killing time in the echo-chamber hallways of a Williamsburg warehouse, the lead singer of the New York band the Bravery is reduced to wiping crumbs from his Sgt. Pepper—style military coat with a flash of jet-fl fingernails and knuckles across which he’s written LIONIZED.
Actually, there are two stories unfolding: On this wintry night in late January, the Bravery is opening the book on its career, with a sold-out show at Northsix just a few hours away and a self-titled debut album on Island Records coming out March 29—not bad for a group that didn’t exist two years ago.
The members of the Bravery are clearly very talented, very lucky guys, but they’re also the beneficiaries of one of the most carefully managed launch campaigns in recent history.

While the Bravery is solidly in the mold of mid-2000s groups worshipping at the altar of the 1980s, they manage a canny syncretism on their self-titled debut album.
The Bravery boys are clearly frothing with enthusiasm for the glorious era they're too young to really remember, and their passion for the sound of those halcyon days of eyeliner and synthesizers is bursting from the seams of this disc.
The Bravery have been compared to The Killers and Franz Ferdinand but to me, although they have a few similarities, they are three different bands with different music styles and approaches.

And whatever the Bravery's motivations might have been in forming a new wave pop band, a good song is a good song, and to suggest otherwise is the worst sort of music snobbery.
The song is one of the better ones on the self-titled Bravery CD, but unfortunately there is an overall lack of distinguishable songwriting on the disc.
One of the latest additions to the craze, the Bravery, went back to the new wave style with their self-titled album.

It's a given that a band that so brazenly apes the Strokes' scratchy vocals, Interpol's deep bass grooves and the Killers' shimmering new wave melodies is hardly concerned about being written off as unfashionably fashionable.
In two years time the Bravery could very well be making robotic Afro-Cuban funk albums, or whatever other hipster style happens to be troubling the charts at the time, and it would suit them just fine.
Right now, the group has the neo-post-punk thing nailed, complete with warm-fuzzy tunes like "An Honest Mistake" and "Unconditional," that, if nothing else, should at least manage lure a few more bodies onto the dance-floor.
