Brave Combo November 1, 2007

Two–time Grammy Winning Brave Combo’s passion for polka is irresistible. The multi-talented quintet has been successfully gathering converts to the “polka side” for years. The band’s most recent release, POLKA’S REVENGE on Dentone Records is the next step in proving that the power of polka is inescapable.

On POLKA’S REVENGE, Brave Combo has woven a musical tapestry of many-colored, multi-cultural threads that comprise the very essence of polka. The result is an anthology that is a melodious extravaganza of 20 unforgettable songs. Fast and slow, rollicking and softly seductive. POLKA’S REVENGE is a delightful adventure in musical styles -- rock polkas, German polkas, Polish polkas, Tex-Mex polkas, big polkas, little polkas, Slovenian polkas, unclassifiable polkas and lots of waltzes, obereks and schottisches. POLKA’S REVENGE features four original tunes penned by Brave Combo and sixteen incredible versions of songs that have withstood the test of time.

For over a quarter of a century, Brave Combo has passionately explored the realm of polka with its deep sincerity, outstanding musicianship, and a firm belief that music should be fun and life affirming. Never afraid to take musical chances, Carl Finch, Jeffrey Barnes, Danny O’Brien, Ann Marie Harrop and Alan Emert have recorded a diverse compilation of tunes that celebrate the tension and release, the power and the passion that defines polka.
