The Brazen

Genre: Indie rock

Bio: Leeds-based indie rockers The Brazen have released their anthemic new single ‘Delusion’. The new single follows sold-out shows all over the UK and media support from BBC Introducing, Fred Perry Subculture & more than 25 regional stations for their 2016 debut album Laser Lips. Since forming in early 2015, the five-piece have been tearing up venues around the UK and picking up fans at every gig. United by shared influences & musical cornerstones The Stone Roses, Queen & U2, their combination of classic rock sounds and Britpop melodies has also gained national and regional radio airplay and glowing online press. The boys’ debut album Laser Lips was recorded with producer Ed Heaton (Jon Gomm, Fold, NARCS) and channelled the glory days of 90’s indie into a vibrant set of pop rock tunes.

Track: Delusion

Why we Like It: Its smooth floaty indie, tender and laced in melancholy tones while still holding enough grit and edge to add texture to the track. The addition of orchestral string parts from Kieran O’Malley adds a layer of gravitas and epic melancholy to their fist-in-the-air chorus.Its subtly dramatic and elegant with a grandeur that sways and glides like a feather in the air.
The Brazen will be celebrating the release of the new single with the following live dates –
14th April – AATMA, Manchester
5th May – O2 Academy, Birmingham
13th May – Verve Bar, Leeds
