Loyola band entrances the stage at Recher Theatre

Local indie rock is becoming increasingly popular in the college scene. The Recher Theatre in Towson is one of those genuinely perfect venues for such bands. This past Friday night (2/1), the local band Bravo Romeo Bravo were the headliners at the Recher and gave an extremely memorable performance.

BRB was formed in May of 2006, and has been a hit with all of their audiences since. They give a great onstage presence, and really encourage the crowd to feel the music. They sang many songs from their new "Twilight" EP, expressing new memorable songs for the crowd. I found both the music and the lyrics very entrancing. The band's creative use of guitar riffs and constant beat of the drums and bass kept the crowd alert and completely focused on them. Their music reminded me of a mix of old school Fall Out Boy, Finger Eleven and Paramore (minus the female singer). While observing the crowd, I found that the song "This Is Your Pilot Speaking…" was definitely the favorite of the set.

The band ended the set with a song from their new EP entitled "Excess Progress." These lyrics were written by Dan Ciarrocchi, and the almost haunting lines of "Where do I stand if there's nothing but broken ground? /Our wills and callouses are broken/We're imprisoned and bound" can definitely speak to a variety of audiences.

Not surprisingly, three of the five members have been students here at Loyola: Dan Walker, Dan Ciarrocchi, and J.W. Sargent. Each of these band members brought something to the table. Dan W. gave his all onstage; I could tell he really felt the music. Dan C. was an amazing guitar player, and a creative lyricist. J.W. was all over the stage, getting into everything, all the while encouraging the crowd to participate.

I found their set to be very catchy, and I wanted to hear more. They love playing shows, and from what I saw on Friday, I found that it was pretty apparent. I recommend everyone checking them out at http://www.myspace.com/bravoromeobravo or http://www.purevolume.com/bravoromeobravo, and check for their music coming soon on iTunes. While you're at it, give the guys on campus a nice hello.

Bio

When listeners recall their most memorable concert experiences, they remember bands with relentless stage presence, originality, and choruses that echo in their heads for days after. With these three aspects (and more) embedded in Bravo Romeo Bravo concerts, it is no wonder that they have emerged in a competitive music scene. Formed in May of 2006, BRB began working relentlessly to perfect new songs while incorporating a wide range of musical influences. After months of tireless preparation, the band hit the studio and laid down tracks for their debut EP entitled "Twilight", with Paul Leavitt (Senses Fail, All time Low, Cute is What we Aim For). After a sold-out CD release show, the ambitious effort eventually earned the five-piece great popularity from radio stations and surrounding music scenes. Fans responded enormously to BRB’s arsenal of memorable hooks, ambient bridges, and thought provoking lyrics. One of their most recognized tracks entitled “This is Your Pilot Speaking" delves deep into the intrapersonal struggle between ambition and consequence. The thematic elements to the songs are backed up by a wide-range of dynamics, emphasizing the bands versatility. In wake of their hard work, Bravo Romeo Bravo propelled themselves from playing backyard graduation parties to sharing the stage at packed venues with national acts including Quietdrive, All Time Low, Monty Are I, Valencia, Driving East, Mohair, The Dangerous Summer, and Dropping Daylight. “We’ll play anywhere," says guitarist Dan Ciarrocchi. “Whether it’s a dingy basement with five people there to see us or (we could play) a sold out stadium opening for Britney Spears for all we care. We’ll play our hearts out, and have the time of our lives doing so. As long as people are willing to listen, we'll be willing to play." With mindsets like this one, it barely surprises its listeners why Bravo Romeo Bravo has taken its music scene by storm, and left everybody wondering what is next for the striving quintet.
