The super-sensational blues-rock ‘n’ power-soul act BRAVE RIVAL who we have been supporting since 2019, and have described as “the elixir for your sonorific dreams”, the “gutsiest zabaglione you’ve ever heard…” and a “flawless convergence of rock, blues and soul……” are embarking on an exciting new chapter. Following two years of captivating tours and critical acclaim, the Blues Award Nominated band have announced the launch of a Kickstarter campaign to support their highly anticipated second album.
At the time of reporting, the band has already recieved 100% of their stated goal… they have smashed-across the kick-plate! But will continue collecting until 10th November. Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/
Since the release of Life’s Machine released in 2022, the band has embarked on an extraordinary journey, earning praise from notable figures like Joe Bonamassa, who referred to them as “one of my favourite discoveries this year.”
Brave Rival developed close relationships with their fans during their long nationwide tours, many of whom have spoken up to them about their own struggles with mental illness. The band’s newest album was inspired by these tales, giving it a fresh energy and authenticity that complements their electric live performances. Beginning in January, they will be led in the studio by producer Tarrant Shepherd (Andromedous / Hollow Crown) to record their impluses.
As they work to produce music that speaks to the hearts of passionate Bravians— and the world at large— the Hampshire UK musicians encourage both ardent followers and newcomers to accompany them on the next stage of their exciting adventure follow their hectic live show calender, and help with their campaign.
Chloe says “Album two will have a refreshed and fiery energy behind it because the process is going to be more dynamic and free”.
Lindsey explains, “We are so excited! The studio is where we get to shut ourselves off from the outside world and totally immerse ourselves in our music and the creative process.”
Billy adds, “The last year has been like a bullet train. We have been non-stop touring all over the country, and every chance we get, we have been writing new songs and ideas. We have amassed over 20 new songs that will need to be shortlisted down to what will ultimately become album 2.“
