The Bravery

Was wondering if anyone else has been checking out this band. I really wanted to catch them at Iceland Airwaves, but they were playing same time as the stills and the shins but at a different venue. The four songs i've heard are great, it's not new wave, not garage, but exactly in the middle of the two.
Island just signed this band. you might be able to check their tour at islandrecords.com
I caught them at Fletcher's in Balt. in August - they opened for Ambulance Ltd. They were really GREAT - it was one of their first appearances with the whole band, and no one who heard them could believe how good they were without a long "history" together. The lead singer - Sam, I think - writes a lot of their stuff. His lyrics are beautiful - and timely - and they put on a really energetic show! (PS They are really nice guys too - and seem to get a charge out of hanging out with the audience after their shows.)
I saw The Bravery written up in Rolling Stone magazine (of all places) ;) a few issues back, as a new band to watch.

I've since looked for their CD at Tower Records, but no such luck yet.

I'm interested in discovering what they're all about.

Cheers
