The Bravery top BBC News Sound of 2005 poll

How about that? Via Gothamist, New York's band du jour are tops in Britain, garnering the number one spot in the BBC News Sound of 2005 poll. Past number one's were Keane and 50 Cent, not a bad track record. The best quote was from Chris Hawkins, host of BBC 6 Music's chart show: "The Bravery are proof alone that New York City is still home to hot new talent." Thanks Chris, we're pretty pleased with our city's scene too. He also did a nice job with the use of the term "electro-clash."
