An officially launched Kickstarter campaign by the award-winning English blues-rock band BRAVE RIVAL aims to fund the creation and launch of the band’s highly-anticipated third studio album.
Their campaign is launching after the success of the band’s praised EP 5 to 4. It lets fans help fund the new record and join the band in its next phase of development.
The campaign offers fans a unique opportunity to be part of the creative process, such as participating in studio sessions for Album Three, contributing to the album, or witnessing the recording firsthand. This listening party is exclusive for supporters, giving them early access.
The band states that their upcoming release represents their most ambitious and emotionally impactful work. The campaign’s initial response has been incredible, exceeding 90% of its funding goal in only three days.
Money collected from the campaign will go towards Album 3 expenses, enabling the band to maintain its independent, fan-backed music-making.
Brave Rivals’ ongoing ascent in the UK and European rock scene is being powered by their supporters, after a significant year for the group.
The band’s newest EP, 5 to 4, hit Number 4 on the Official UK Rock and Metal Charts and became their first Number 1 release by topping the Official UK Album Breakers Chart. The band received the Band of the Year award at the UK Blues Awards in 2025.
Speaking about the new album, guitarist and vocalist Ed Clarke says: “This album feels like the natural evolution of everything we’ve built so far, We’ve grown massively as songwriters and performers over the last few years, and we genuinely believe these songs are the strongest we’ve ever written. The support from our fans has already blown us away.”
Bassist Billy Dedman adds “We’re not interested in making the same record twice. There’s going to be bigger energy, bigger hooks, and some really emotional moments on this album too. We can’t wait for people to hear where we’re going next.”
