Obey The Brave set to release debut EP

Friday, April 27, 2012 6:40 PM PT


Official press release:

After making a ton of noise in the underground scene in a matter of weeks, Canadian heavy hitters Obey The Brave are now getting ready to unleash their debut EP "Ups and Downs" May 22nd 2012 on Good Fight Music. The one-off EP on Good Fight, "Ups and Downs," features the band's first single "Live and Learn" and their much anticipated second single "Get Real," featuring Scott Vogel of Terror. The EP will be available exclusively on 7" vinyl (4 limited colors available) and digitally. It's available for pre-order now with exclusive merch bundles.

Singer Alex Erian comments on the release of the EP and the future barreling at OTB: "The wait has been driving me crazy! So stoked to finally share our EP and new music with you guys. Working with Vogel on this track was a huge honor. We're currently working on our debut full length, due later this summer, and are literally about to sign to our two favorite labels. Got big things in the works fellas."

Obey The Brave's second music video "Get Real" drops May 1st (check out the teaser below). Directed by acclaimed Montreal director Jessy Fuchs and recorded once again by Antoine Lussier and Yannic Desgroseilliers of 357 Productions (Emmure, Ion Dissonance), "Get Real" brings OTB's sound and in-your-face energy to the next level.

Fuck all you haters. I've been following Alex since his beginnings in Neuraxis and he's on the fucking top ever since. He's a great guy to talk with; he's got a head on his shoulders and doesn't pretend to be another wannabee HC singer.

Show some respect, or else GTFO and go listen to your Auto-Tuned bands.

Whenever someone says "show some respect" regarding a band, the collective iq of the world goes down half a point.

Before even saying that, I invite you to step in their shoes and make a mile in it. After, when time will come to judge a persone or a band, you'll be a mile ahead of him. It's easy to blast a band on the internet, but I would be more than happy to do the same face to face.

By definition, collective iq is iq. So if everyone in the world got dumber, their iqs would all stay the same. Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeerp.

It should be commonplace for you to leave the name of your favorite band when you leave a hate comment.
