I actually remember a friend who worked at there label (Island Def Jam) telling me the “feud” was fake. - Gene

Here’s a quote from Apple Music about it all ⬇️

“Joining the New Wave/post-punk revival of 2004-5, the Bravery wore its influences on its thin sleeve more prominently than many of its U.S./U.K. counterparts, easily calling to mind the Cure, New Order, and Depeche Mode, among other 1980s acts. The Brooklyn-based band entered a high-profile faux feud with the Killers, and like those kindred spirits, it went for a less keyboard-heavy sound on its sophomore outing, THE SUN AND THE MOON, resulting in even greater chart success, particularly with the hit single “Believe.”

Thanks for stopping by! I do a much deeper dive and long form vlog on Tuesdays & Friday (ThreeTuneTuesday & NinetiesFriday). On Wednesday & Saturday we usually keep it more brief and just pick tunesto share for Alt2k Wednesday & Eighties Saturday!
