Bravado Cartel

Bravado Cartel are an English rock band from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, consisting of Will Bloy (vocals), Jonny Green (guitar), Shayne Whitton (drums), Jonathan Armstrong (bass guitar) and William Gould (keyboards), particularly noted for their 2016 UK single "Just Like Fighting Shadows" with Emma Kirke, which charted 33 in the i-Tunes rock downloads in that year.

Early members included Steve Smith (guitars), Shayne Whitton (drums), Tim Whiteley (bass) and Gary Hutchinson (keyboards).

In the early years, RedStar gigged in pubs and clubs across the north of England but expanded to regular slots in London and a tour of Holland.

[6] In 2014, Green left the band due to ill health and Leadbeater announced he would be leaving to tour with Joanne Shaw Taylor for 12 months.

Imogen Bell described Bravado Cartel's sound as "a mix of old-school rock like Led Zeppelin and new-school mashups of mould-breakers Arctic Monkeys fused with the swagger of Oasis".
