After making a ton of noise in the underground scene in a matter of weeks, Canadian heavy hitters Obey The Brave are now getting ready to unleash their debut EP “Ups and Downs” May 22nd 2012 on Good Fight Music. The one-off EP on Good Fight, “Ups and Downs”, features the bands first single “Live and Learn” and their much anticipated second single “Get Real”, featuring Scott Vogel of Terror. The Ep will be available exclusively on 7” vinyl (4 limited colors available) and digitally. It’s available for preroder now with exclusive merch bundles at GOOD FIGHT WEBSTORE

Singer Alex Erian comments on the release of the EP and the future barreling at OTB, “The wait has been driving me crazy! So stoked to finally share our EP and new music with you guys. Working with Vogel on this track was a huge honor. We’re currently working on our debut full length, due later this summer, and are literally about to sign to our two favorite labels. Got big things in the works fellas.”

Obey The Brave’s second music video “Get Real” drops May 1st. Directed by acclaimed Montreal director Jessy Fuchs and recorded once again by Antoine Lussier and Yannic Desgroseilliers of 357 Productions (Emmure, Ion Dissonance), “Get Real” brings OTB’s sound and in-your-face energy to the next level.
