About Me


Bravestate, the freshly formed Boston based quartet- comprised of Yvette Ivory (Vocals/Keyboards), Jeremiah Clark (Guitar/Harmonies), Andrew Malkin (Bass) and Sam Aydlette (Drums)- staked claim to an uncanny flavor of sophisticated Indie-Pop on the night that their debut Ep "Farewell to the Castle" was released to a sold out crowd in Massachusetts. Since it's release on August 28th the 5 song EP-a compact demonstration of Bravestate's talent- has already earned the band radioplay on stations across the U.S including WBCN Boston, KGRL California, and WMEL's Pop Garden Radio in Florida, just to name a few. In September, the band was featured on MUSIQTONE as the "You Gotta Know" act for the month and, most recently songs from the EP have managed to find their way onto the popular television show 'Sportsdesk'- which airs everyday on NESN (New England Sports Network). Currently Bravestate is promoting "Farewell to the Castle" by touring throughout New England and beyond, having already made stops at such popular out-of-state venues as the Clarendon Grille in Virginia and The Knitting Factory in NYC.

BRAVESTATE-FAREWELL TO THE CASTLE
By: Brodie Holmen

"This brand spanking new band from Boston plays well outside the rules of conformity by blending together classical, Celtic and pop rock into a viable music that still relates to a wide range of music devotees. This luscious piece of music breathes with severe depth and passion as if they were doing this for a hundred years. For a relatively unknown group their acceptance into the music industry should be painless because of how imaginative the songs were. The pop indy vibe brought forth by the band will sit well with even the staunchest critic. When you hear talent of this caliber you can't deny it but set it free and enjoy everything it has to offer. Five complex songs with commercial charm is the chemical make up of Farewell To The Castle. Beauty, poise, intensity and unbridled passion are demonstrated at full force in songs like Walls and Secret. They are instant classics in a very real sense but with enough ingenuity that will defy you to compare to anything else out there in the music world. Show some support for a struggling new band and make a point of picking up their music. It needs to be heard and it shouldn't be denied."
