So far the talents, who are all still in their teens, have supported Sophie Ellis Bextor, Callum Beattie, and Blue at gigs and that's only since they began their journey together in the last two years. They've also had their songs played extensively on radio and TV including CBBC's Saturday Mash Up, Radio Clyde, Capital, Virgin and BBC Scotland. The lads have garnered millions of hits online over TikTok and Instagram in just the short time they've been together. Their famous fans include Lewis Capaldi, Emeli Sande, Helen Flanagan, Coleen Nolan, Forest Blakk and chart-topper James Marriott. The band, who combine contagious pop and perfect harmonies with boundless energy, are already filling up their diary for 2026 with some major UK festival announcements and appearances. They met online while still studying at school after sharing a love of TikTok - and they plan to inject some life back onto the pop scene. Each boy has a distinctive personality, with Danny being the chatty lad, Fin the champion dancer, Seany, the shy boy next door, Rocco the karate kicking kid and Caleb the back flipping charmer. They bring to the stage and online an incredible energy but are also relatable to other kids, often going into schools to talk about their personal histories of mental health, autism, Tourette's, ADHD, bullying and more. They can all sing and move and cant wait to meet their fans 'The Bravehearts' or 'Bravers' as they call themselves up and down the country. The lads have recorded original material in the studio with some big producers offering a mix of upbeat melodic pop songs and catchy ballads. And when they are around you can hear the screams for miles.

The Globe of Death sees motorbikes speeding around inside a mesh sphere ball while someone stands in the middle. Since 2014 there have been a number of reported accidents from the stunt, including fractures, broken bones, head injuries and even death as a result of bikes colliding. Seany, who plays Heartlands festival with Just The Brave, Skerryvore, and Nathan Evans at Pitlochry on June 28, as well as IM2C fest with Ben Walker in Barrhead on June 21 admitted: 'I definitely had butterflies before I went in. 'I never thought I'd do anything like this because it's pretty dangerous. It was amazing, very scary but Jackie Louise looked after me inside. 'I could see all the bikes rushing round me, hear them, and smell the petrol and I felt someone patting me on the head but I was in a bit of a daze. 'Everyone here is so experienced so I'd definitely do it again. It was a real adrenaline rush.' Zippos boss Martin Burton added: 'We recently had Sophie Ellis Bextor visit us so it was great to have Just The Brave here to meet out international team of talented artists.' We previously told how Seany's bandmate, who suffers with Tourette's hailed Lewis Capaldi as his inspiration to become a household name. Danny McCabe, 16, ditched school early to form band Just The Brave with his pals. And the talented teen, from Edinburgh, says hearing Someone You Loved by hitmaker open up in about his battle with the neurological condition has spurred him on. Lewis, 27, open up in about his battle with the neurological condition has spurred him on. Danny said: "I have Tourette's and look up to Lewis Capaldi. When Lewis came out saying he also has the condition it was a big inspiration for me. "Seeing his Netflix documentary and seeing him speak about performing on stage was really relatable."
