Hailing from Wichita, Kansas, Brave Boy melds elements of Synthpop, Dreampop, Glam, and Darkwave into their distinctive sound. The band consists of the married couple Mary Harrison (vocals) and Eric Harrison (guitar, bass, and synthesizer), along with their close, long-term friend Chad Duncan (guitar). Drawing inspiration from both classic and contemporary musicians as well as 20th-century literature, their music and lyrics offer a unique perspective.

The members of Brave Boy—Mary, Eric, and Chad—have a long history of collaboration in various configurations, rooted in years of friendship and shared musical tastes. This strong bond has culminated in a band with a unique voice, exploring themes such as the many facets of love, surviving trauma, and the intricate power structures within society.

Brave Boy has been praised for emotionally raw live performances that emote the drama that goes into their music and lyrics. Dreamy and powerful guitars and soaring, glammy vocals team up in ways that might call to mind bands ranging from Siouxsie and the Banshees to Cocteau Twins with added Synthpop elements.
