LISTEN: Bravestation - Ambition Shown Through Infectious Songs


Bravestation - "Clocks & Spears"


Bravestation - "Colour Us With Youth"


Bravestation's sound is something of an exercise in ambition. Sitar, post rock-style guitar, synthesizer, tribal grooves -- nothing is off limits, which is an affirmation of the band's willingness to experiment with its music. Whether it's new wave, post punk, or art punk, the band displays their aptitude for seamlessly joining different styles into one agreeable mix, sounding like a cross between Wolf Parade, Yeasayer, and Talking Heads. The band tackles multiple genres without ever coming across as if they're attempting to emulate one particular band or sound. With infectious grooves and melodies like these, it's hard to understand why Bravestation hasn't received more attention. They're definitely a band to watch with fun and progressive songs like "Clocks & Spears" and "Colour Us With Youth".
