However, the result is an accomplished, catchy collection of songs.<\/p>\n<p>The Lecce-based band seem to effortlessly mix 70s American rock and roll with British-style Brit pop and beat, perhaps most notable in the song \u2018Magpie\u2019. There\u2019s as much to remind me a little of New York Dolls as there is Suede, but the delivery is certainly not as hard as either. Offering up well-crafted songs with a laid back delivery, the album chimes easily from one song to the next, making each one a delightful pill to swallow.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an easy album to get hooked on. While it\u2019s punk rock and roll that drives it, it\u2019s heavily layered with pop melodies and harmonies. The garage-infused title track is about as hard as it gets, whereas \u2018I Don\u2019t Know\u2019 has a great The Cure-esque lead guitar hook and multiple harmonies. \u2018Generate\u2019 carries a bit of a darker sounds and definitely a highlight on the album.<\/p>\n<p>Bravata traverse a lot of complementary genres to achieve these thoroughly enjoyable 10 tracks. They certainly do know how to craft a decent song or two.<\/p>\n<p>Buy &#8216;Pray For Today&#8217;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bravata.bandcamp.com\/album\/pray-for-today\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bravataofficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Author: Craggy Collyde<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italian rockers Bravata released their debut album \u2018Pray for Today\u2019 in May 2020 \u2013 as with so many bands, a very unfortunate time to release an album.
