Beginning with the very first notes on "The Same Way," the opening track on Brave Citizens' debut EP, Revolutions, all four masterfully crafted songs pull you in and refuse to let you go. Comparisons to Mute Math's soaring sound and Mew's haunting melodies, while accurately drawn, don't even begin to fully capture this SoCal duo's powerful draw. These songs were born to fill stadiums. The deliciously dark, gritty guitars on "How Much Longer?" are particularly notable, as are Andrew Capra's vocals throughout every offering. - Lauren Mulcahy
