A New Year's Gift From The Bravery

We wish they kept it to themselves!

New York rock quintet the Bravery will release its second album, "The Sun and the Moon," early next year via Island. Though the band made headway with its self-titled 2005 debut, which sold 335,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and its dance-heavy single "An Honest Mistake," the new effort finds the boys coming from an earthier place.

"We did it to death a little bit. We were a little sick of it. We went so synth-crazy that it got a little boring to us," frontman Sam Endicott tells Billboard.com. "It was more like, what does an acoustic piano sounds like or what are real organ sounds? That stuff was more exciting to us. There's still a lot of unusual sounds on the record, but they're created more by organic instruments." via Billboard.

I'll honestly be shocked if this album sells more than 20,000 copies. If they force Ash to open for them again, I am seriously boycotting this band.
