LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Brave Citizens Official Website) - California's BRAVE CITIZENS have been in constant motion since their introduction to the world just one year ago. While band's digital debut REVOLUTIONS garnered a quick and exponentially growing explosion of buzz online, the band logged thousands of touring miles, critical acclaim, and released a physical
Deluxe Edition of the EP this past fall. With no slowing in sight, BRAVE CITIZENS have announced their nationwide REVOLUTIONS TOUR, launching January 26 at the Key Club in Hollywood, California.
The dates stretch across US cities including Las Vegas, Albuquerque, San Antonio, Austin, Houston, New Orleans, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Charlotte, Washington, New York City, Boston, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago, Omaha, St. Louis, Kansas City, Denver, San Francisco and others, wrapping in Anaheim, California on March 31.
By melding ethereal vintage with modern flair, BRAVE CITIZENS presented REVOLUTIONS as a rock album at its core. But what lies withinaˆ'bold grandeur, big ambience, and melody-soaked pop poweraˆ'is the display of the band's ability to transcend a simple genre tag or style affiliation and root each listener in its complete emotionality. Some recent critical praise includes:
"Grandiose alt-rock in the vein of Keane with a heavy dose of The Edge's helicopter guitar soundaˆ�If one song could make you love this artist, it would be: All or Not. The lead track from Revolutions shows a love of vintage alt-rock, full of sweet harmonies and chiming guitars." -Michael Senft, PHOENIX METROMIX (January 6, 2009)
"It's rare that an unsigned act with a single EP under their collective belt sounds better than most of the major-label releases that I pick upaˆ'so rare, in fact, that I'm pretty sure Brave Citizens are the only ones." -Lauren Mulcahy, THE OWL MAG (October 2008)
"Amazing music...stirs your emotions" -D'Ette Bolton, BANDNATION (January 2008)
"sometimes ambient, sometimes arena-rock music" -Rachel Lux, ALTERNATIVE PRESS [UNSIGNED BAND OF THE MONTH} (May 2008)
