Formation and rising fame (2003)
Frontman-songwriter Sam Endicott and keyboardist John Conway were classmates at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York. The two began a musical partnership, playing together in various bands in the Poughkeepsie area including Skabba the Hut with future CSI: Miami star Jonathan Togo. After graduating, Endicott and Conway moved to New York City, where Endicott switched from bass guitar to vocals and began writing music that would later become The Bravery.
The Bravery is an American rock band formed in 2003 in New York City. The band released their debut album titled The Bravery in 2005 which reached commercial success in the UK. The album peaked at number 18 on the Billboard 200. Their 2nd album titled The Sun and The Moon (called later The Sun) released in 2007 and debuted at number 24 on the US Billboard 200.
