Ladies and gentlemen, Bravado has pioneered a whole new genre of metal for your listening pleasure. It's a smooth blend of thrash, power, punk and alcohol, aptly named Beer Metal. Beer metal is as easily enjoyed by the discriminating fan of technical guitar as by some guy drunk off his ass in the middle of a mosh pit. Bravado hails from Calgary Alberta and is looking to do some serious giggin’ in, or around this area, so please feel free to contact us and enjoy the frothy goodness that is Bravado.

Bravado was conceived in 2004 when four high school kids in Brooks, Alberta - Bob Bellward, Adam Brunelle, Rance Williams and Jordan Levesque, all with a passion for Heavy Metal - decided to pick up instruments and start jamming together. It was very informal for the first year or so, just playing covers, but in their senior year of high school they started taking it more seriously and began to write original tunes. Upon their graduation in 2005 the band relocated to Calgary where they began to play the occasional show and, in a local battle of the bands held at the Max Bell Center, took second place. They have amassed an excellent local following, having played all the local venues they could, and have shared the stage with west coast canadian bands such as Lummox, Ninja Spy and Helcion. They have started to branch out and play out of town, travelling to Vancouver, Kamloops, Edmonton, etc. and plan on continuing to expand in the near future. Bravado’s line up has evolved from the original. With the addition of Neil Melrose on bass, and Kevin Zinger on drums, they continue to write new music and are back in the studio to record. Keep your eyes and ears open for their first full length album coming soon!
