History

Fortune Favours The Brave was formed in late 2006 after the collapse of My Own Enemy (Adam Aldridge, Ashley Dines, Jamie Tritton). They have gone through various name changes including 'Rivers Run Red' and 'Twist the Knife'.

In the first year of being together a 3 track Demo entitled Flourish and Grow was recorded by Adam at his home studio. The songs on the demo have since been re-recorded for a new e.p with new lyrics and vocal patterns.
Their musical style is somewhat frenetic with brutal drumming and shredding guitar solos found prominently on their songs Between The Bullets And The Bloodstains and Call of Duty.
After initially gigging in the Essex area the band started branching out and playing further afield with gigs in London and the like.
