Debut Album: Brave Rival - Life's Machine

DEBUT ALBUM - "LIFE'S MACHINE"
RELEASED FRIDAY 6 MAY 2022

NEW SINGLE "GUILTY LOVE"
RELEASED FRIDAY 11 FEBRUARY 2022

Life’s Machine is the stunning debut album from Portsmouth-based five-piece rock, blues, and soul band Brave Rival featuring the hypnotic lead vocals of Lindsey Bonnick and Chloe Josephine.

The album is released on Friday 6 May 2022 and is available for pre-order from www.braverival.com/music. The first single “Guilty Love,” released Friday 11 February 2022, is available to pre-save from https://bit.ly/3G9BnsX.

Recorded in the picturesque Surrey countryside at The Mayfair Studio. The band enlisted the talents of record producer and engineer Tarrant Shepherd, an up-and-coming maestro of the control room who cut his teeth with Brit Award winning producer Greg Haver and award- winning multi-platinum producer and engineer Clint Murphy.

For Tarrant, this was his first professional album under his own stewardship, and he left nothing on the table. This team was a match made in heaven, and one that was a long time in the making.

Originally scheduled for a spring 2020 recording session, Life’s Machine was unceremoniously put on hold due to the Covid-19 global pandemic. A situation which stung all the harder for Brave Rival as the first lockdown occurred mere weeks after a successful Kickstarter campaign raised the funding to record.

Undeterred by the social distancing measures which forced the band to stay at home, Brave Rival took to technology to continue writing songs (many of which feature on Life’s Machine).

Brave Rival have been nominated for
“Best Emerging Blues Artist Of The Year”
at the UK Blues Awards 2022.
