Biography of Victor Bravo

In the early 90s Nirvana took all that was good about metal and 70's punk, put their own spin on it, and saved a rock world that was drowning in an ocean of hair metal poseurs. Today, the scene isn’t quite as refreshing, with a deluge of post-emo/screamo, watered-down imposters and overly-polished, underwhelming "hard rock-lite" imitators. The world of rock desperately needs a new savior.

Enter Victor Bravo. Victor Bravo is two guys – but, if you close your eyes you will swear there are five of them. Daniel Collins and Collin Daniels met on the playground the second day of first grade. Following an initial creative collaboration of a well-received 2nd grade puppet show (one was the lead hero, the other the lead villain), the two soon realized their true passion and creative potential lie in music.

Several grades and schools later, frustrated with the lack of opportunity in their home state of Maine, the musical duo moved to Brooklyn with little else but the proverbial “three chords and the truth.” Pulling the best elements from 60s underground garage bands, 70s and 80s punk acts like Husker Du and The Ramones - and, yes, some 90s grunge ala Mudhoney and early Nirvana - the band create addictive, heavy rock anthems that make you wanna dance your ass off and break everything you can get your hands on.

Since their inception, the band has earned their stripes and honed their sound the old-fashioned way by touring and playing the NYC club scene relentlessly. The band is known for their physical, energy-fueled shows where you’ll rarely find a cubic inch of standing room due to the swirling horde of dancing fans with energy to match the band's.

Daniel Collins pounds the drums with a fury and intensity that is invigorating and frightening all at once. Collin Daniels, his counterpart not just in name, slashes out nasty, angular guitar work while snarling slimy, angst-ridden vocals. Seeing the band live, audience members often worry that Collins will break an arm or Daniels might cough up a lung. With a raw, real, storm-the-barricades and take-no-prisoners attitude, this two piece are the two-man wrecking crew rock needs to redeem itself for the umpteenth time. Victor Bravo is all rocking and no bullshit.

From the moment you hear the opening chords of Victor Bravo’s first song – whether it be live or recorded - a good ear will quickly recognize elements of the crème de la crème of the last thirty years of rock. And, quite possibly, what might go down as the beginning of the next revolution in rock.

The band is currently supporting their debut full-length release, “Hammer Meets Fire”, with an extensive U.S. tour.
