Edit history

I make beats, write songs, take film photos, play instruments, Dj and Draw. My heroes are all old fashioned Divergent thinkers, Musicians and Animators and this is reflected in alot of my work resulting in what id describe as an honest, soulful and simple sound, put together in my bedroom which is 8 parts studio 2 parts bed.

Not satisfied to rest in the laurels of a previous well received musical project from 2003, The Henrys, songwriter Matt Griffith wanted to broaden his music horizon. Over lunch one day with his friend Rodger van Raalte, also a songwriter yearning to find an outlet for his creativity, The Brave was birthed. Several songs were molded in a short amount of time over a handful of weekends, and the promise of a credible body of work began to take shape. With a bunch of exciting song ideas, Caleb James was approached to produce an EP, having worked on The Henry's album in 2003. Shortly after, Mikey Mann, drummer and also an ambitious songwriter, joined the party. The scene was set, and here we are after only a short period of pre-production and recording. Callum Galloway from Castel also features on keyboards on a couple of songs and will be playing with us live.

A band so Brave that will create music that will cross any boundary

Dance, drink fine wine and take a journey through the unknown

The Brave is the project of musician Tarkan Çeviker. Tarkan has been playing music for over ten years and has been the lead vocalist of Sydney based punk band Back To Basics as well as Sydney based rockers Destination. Over the years Tarkan has learned to cultivate his sound and after much experimentation decided to return to his roots in the pop punk genre. The Brave, music to listen to when there's nothing better laying around.
