Biography

There are two bands with the name Brave:

1) A Progressive Rock/Metal band

2) A Power Metal band from Brazil

1)Brave is a progressive rock/metal band with female vocals and violins. The members are Michelle Loose (vocals, keys), Scott Loose (guitars), Trevor Schrotz (drums), Ben Kelly (bass), Suvo Sur (violin, keys) and Matt Kozar (guitars).

The roots of Brave began in 1997 when brother and sister duo Scott and Michelle Loose began writing diverse, acoustic-based, dark progressive music with their childhood friend and drummer, Trevor Schrotz. The original band was called Arise From Thorns (AFT), and the trio wrote and recorded 2 CDs with world-wide distribution and played numerous shows around their hometown of Dale City, VA, a suburb of Washington, DC. After several lineup changes, the music of AFT morphed into a much heavier sound while retaining the atmospheric and diverse qualities of AFT. With this evolution in style came a change in name, and in 2000, Brave was born.

Brave continued to write music and began playing shows that expanded into mini-tours throughout the United States. They recorded their debut full-length album Searching for the Sun, which was released in 2002 through Dark Symphonies records. The album received international praise from underground and mainstream music publications and fans. Shortly after this release, Brave won 2nd place in a Washington, DC “Battle of the Bands” that spanned over 6 months and included over 250 competing bands. Brave used the winnings from this competition to record a follow-up EP entitled Passages in 2004.

    I love rock/metal bands that use classical instruments. Brave's 'Monuments' album is kick-ass, and what a lovely voice the singer has.

    Amazing band. Highly talented and underrated. These guys really need the recognition that they deserve. Dark Waters is such an outstanding song. It's the closest that got me in tears.

    All tracks from the Passages EP are fully available for streaming, but they don't appear in that album's page. Also, since Last is allowing redirection, scrobblings for Arise From Thorns should now lead to Brave, provided enough people vote for that correction.
