Former members of Blind Witness and Despised Icon form new band Obey the Brave

Former members of bands Despised Icon and Blind Witness have teamed up to form a new metal/hardcore band called Obey The Brave.

The Canadian natives have been working on the project for the last year but last week was the first time anything official had been announced. That includes a small East Canadian tour as well.

Obey The Brave have so far only released a sample of their first single called, Live And Learn, and will be posting more songs, videos and show dates in the next few weeks.

Singer Alex Erian had this to say about the group:

“Stoked to finally show you guys what we’ve been up to! It feels great to be playing music again with a few good friends. I can’t wait to get this show on the road. We’re doing everything DIY for now so help us spread the word if you like what you hear. Not trying to reinvent the wheel. We keep it simple. We keep it real.”
