Available for pre-order now, lots of exciting things are happening for the five-piece. Founding member and lead guitarist Mark Trotter said in a press release; “Everything feels very positive in the Lonely The Brave camp.”

The musician describes the album as having a sense of optimism, saying “We’ve been a band for over 10 years and stuck in our ways a lot. There has been a huge shift in dynamic now. It’s a completely different vibe from where we were before. There’s a renewed energy and a renewed focus.”

Currently, fans can only form their opinion based on the tracks which have so far been released – these are ‘Open Door’, ‘Distant Light’, and lead single ‘Bound’. Having gained 48,000 views on YouTube, ‘Bound’ is a song with driven verses and a soaring chorus, delivered beautifully by lead singer  Jack Bennet and supported by his fellow band members Ross Smithwick (rhythm guitar), Andrew Bushen (bass), and Gavin Edgeley (drums).
