Lonely the Brave are an English alternative rock band from Cambridge. They were formed in 2008.[1][2] The members include Mark Trotter (guitar), Gavin Edgeley (drums), Andrew Bushnen (bass), and Ross Smithwick (guitar) who joined the band in 2014.[3] The band takes inspiration from an eclectic set of sources, such as Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam and Deftones. One journalist remarked that this culminates into "Biffy Clyro-shaped stadium rock".[4]
Joel Mason departed the band after he was arrested for an alleged sexual assault. The charges were later dropped.
On the 11th March 2018 the band announced, via a heart felt email to fans, that David Jakes would be leaving for mental health reasons. In August 2018, he was subsequently replaced by Jack Bennett.[5]
