The Bravery Snipes Back at The Killers
Apr 07, 2005

If there's nothing more rock'n'roll than a totally inconsequential feud, the Bravery/Killers clash is heating up to be very, very rock'n'roll.

After taking flak from Killers front man Brandon Flowers in an MTV interview (read full story), Bravery front man Sam Endicott stepped up to the plate on San Fransico's Live 105. Apparently Endicott doesn't take to well to charges of bandwagon-jumping.

"I feel bad talking bad about him because it’s like hitting a girl," Endicott said. "It’s like picking on a kid in a wheelchair because he has no personality and no sense of humour at all. So what can you say to that?"

Endicott didn't back off from taking a swipe at Killers bassist Mark Stoermer, however.

"There’s the one guy who's like nine feet tall. He looks like a little Dutch girl with a beard, but like a nine-foot-tall Dutch girl like a mutant radioactive."

Aversion is currently attempting a co-headlining Killers/Bravery tour titled "Bitch Fig

nothing more pathetic than two pansy-ass bands getting into a slapfight.

this is so absurd i'm almost tempted to think the bands cooked it up between them just to have a laugh, and get a bit of publicity.

the Killers don't need the pub their tearing it up sales wise...the Bravery yes

is that a jab at Butch Vig?

Mazerati said:

true. although, the bravery CD did have a pretty nice debut this week. i actually picked it up, it's not bad. not as good as the killers though, IMHO.

JonSnow said:

I saw that also--#18 in the U.S.! They will need a hit single to keep up that momentum though. I don't think "An Honest Mistake" has caught on yet.

i wasnt really impressed by either CD to be honest, they both sound like trendwhores to me. This is like seeing Pink and Britney getting into a catfight...

is this another thread about 'desperate housewives'?

Anxiety said:

There are other 'Desperate Housewives' threads?

I really like The Bravery CD, but I admit that it's pure candy and no substance. I've only heard the two Killers singles and I can't get into "Mr Brightside".

when're they gonna fuck and get it overwith?

sextonseven said:

at least one, ayup.

Death From Above should assassinate all of 'em.

Mazerati said:

What is the Bravery's music like? I know it's pretty 80's driven but who would you compare them to? Is it worth checking out their cd?

dancerella said:

Duran Duran

sextonseven said:

hmmm, ok thanks!

I think they are both pretty pish tbh

sextonseven said:

Well, it's more like Duran Duran jamming with The Cure and New Order.


I'm getting pretty annoyed with these damn New Wave posers.

PurpleKnight said:

totally correct!

Tessa said:

THANK YOU!

I hate the Killers. I don't say that often, but they COMPLETELY annoy me.

endorphin74 said:

Me too. Biggest fucking posers ever.

NWF said:

The Cure doing an impression of Duran Duran perhaps. The entire Bravery CD is very uptempo and dancy. It's more like early New Order when they were still trying to sound like Joy Division.
