bravery mindset
We're called The Bravery because that's the mindset I was in when I was writing the songs,
aware best interact nominated worry
We don't really interact with them because we're usually on different stages. You're aware that The Killers are at the show, but we try not to worry about it. We were nominated for Best International Video.
hardest
It was one of the hardest landings I've ever had.
allow bit song though using
They couldn't do it if we didn't allow it. I feel like someone using your song is different than someone using your persona, like you as an individual. It's a bit different than going on the show. Though I never said we wouldn't go on the show.
front people
When we first started we'd play in front of 200 people and we were nervous,
joking
We were joking that they're perforated. They come out of a dispenser.

Our flight was super delayed from London. There was a minute where we though it was only going to cancel.

bad band connected constantly formed living name overcome people songs standing sure tall waiting weird wrote york
The name is also connected with living in New York in this really weird time. People are constantly waiting for something bad to happen. I wrote these songs and formed this band to make sure I didn't get overcome by that sense of fear. That's what this band is about -- standing tall and not being afraid.

I actually find it kind of lonely because you don't see your friends or family ever. I sort of fantasize about just hanging out in New York while I'm on tour.

I don't really like mainstream music at all, ... When I listen to the radio or watch MTV, 99% of it is like listening to an air-conditioner or a hair-dryer. Sometimes, though, something comes along that jolts you. When I was growing up, it was bands like Nirvana and Jane's Addiction. Those bands elevate culture. I don't think there's any point in aiming for anything less.
hate people band
We'd rather be a band that some people are going to passionately hate than be a ringtone band.
thinking rocks boring
I think this is the beginning of a really cool period in music because what we've been living through has been mostly super-testosterone rock, and there's nothing wrong with testosterone but it is damn boring.
player cds guitar
When I was about 12, I wanted a CD player for Christmas, but instead my parents gave me a really crappy electric guitar.
