Lonely The Brave

Lonely the Brave are an English alternative rock band from Cambridge, England. They formed in 2008. The members comprise Mark Trotter (lead guitar), Gavin Edgeley (drums), Andrew Bushen (bass), and Ross Smithwick (rhythm guitar). Smithwick joined in 2014. The band are inspired by an eclectic mix, including Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam and Deftones. One journalist remarked that this culminates in "Biffy Clyro-shaped stadium rock". On 11 March 2018 the band announced, in a heartfelt email to fans, that David Jakes would be leaving for mental health reasons. In August 2018, Jack Bennett joined the band to fill his lead vocal role. In April 2020 the band released their first material with Bennett on Easy Life Records: the single “Bound” was premiered on BBC Radio 1. Bennett said on 24 January 2026 that he is no longer with the band. The band announced on 20 July 2026 on their Instagram page that David Jakes had rejoined the band as lead singer, and they would start touring in November 2026.
