South Australian’s Brave Mistakes is now a fully fledged band, going from a solo project originally, created by a guy who thought he would challenge himself in putting out one song a month. That is pretty good going and says a lot about the character and song writing abilities of lead singer Garrett Cooper.
The vocals are very reminiscent of a soul filled Brian Ferry, combined with bitter sweet lyrics of love , because as we all know that love can hurt just as much as it can fix broken hearts. There is a wonderful play between the guitars that swirls into your ears, with the drums underpinning it all.
“Aching Enough” definitely draws on the alternative Australian sound, and you hear the reverberations of guitar bands such as The Hummingbirds, The Huxton Creepers, The Triffids or even The Screaming Tribesmen. This one really does pull at the heartstrings and there is a longing, leaving us waiting for more.
