Brave Rival Release Second Single ‘Fairytale’ Ahead of Highly Anticipated Album ‘Fight or Flight’

31st May 2024 0 By Jon Deaux

Brave Rival, the multi-UK Blues Award-nominated rising stars, proudly announce the release of their second single, ‘Fairytale,’ from their eagerly awaited sophomore album, ‘Fight or Flight,’ set for release on August 16th.

Fronted by the dynamic duo of vocalists Chloe Josephine and Lindsey Bonnick, Brave Rival stands out with a distinctive edge. The band is rounded out by the instrumental prowess of Donna Peters (Drums, Percussion, and Acoustic Guitar), Ed ‘the Shred’ Clarke (Guitars), and Billy ‘Danger’ Dedman (Bass Guitar).
 
Vocalist Lindsey Bonnick describes the new single as, “A song filled with darkness but at the end of the tunnel there’s light.” Chloe Josephine elaborates, “It’s dark and heavy and poetically connects with the fairytale feeling of the mental health world. It’s relatable but it also rocks.” Guitarist Ed Clarke adds, “Fairytale started with a riff of mine, and Lindsey added the slow opening intro, with the chorus growing from there.”
 
Building on the success of their first single, ‘Five Years On’—Winner of Classic Rock’s Tracks of The Week who described the single as a “hooky, toe-tapping ode to overcoming the odds” and named Rush On Rock’s Red Hot Track of the Week—‘Fairytale’ is set to continue Brave Rival’s ascent to rock stardom.
 
Following their recent tour as special guests on the 40th-anniversary tour of British rock legends FM, Brave Rival is gearing up for an extensive tour throughout 2024. To celebrate the release of ‘Fight or Flight,’ the band will host a spectacular launch show at Dingwalls on September 12th, featuring special guests, the Deborah Bonham Band.
 
Catch Brave Rival on tour and witness their performances live. Metal Talk recently reviewed their London show, proclaiming, “One of the best bands in the country right now and one of our biggest hopes for the future. Music can and should be this breathtakingly good.”
 
2024 is poised to be a landmark year for Brave Rival with the release of ‘Fight or Flight,’ an album that elevates their signature sound to new heights. With influences reminiscent of Heart, Zeppelin, and Fleetwood Mac, Brave Rival is ready to dominate the rock scene. Don’t miss the chance to experience their breathtaking music live and be part of their extraordinary journey.
