"Unconditional" first surfaced in November 2004 as the title track of a three-song EP by the Bravery, then took its place on the American band's self-titled 2005 debut and went out as a Polydor single in August 2005, reaching 49 on the UK Singles Chart. It's post-punk revival in full sheen: taut, twitchy guitars and a chorus built for a strobe-lit dance floor.
The 7-inch paired it with an acoustic "An Honest Mistake" recorded for Jo Whiley's Live Lounge, and the song found a second audience through video games, from Tony Hawk's American Wasteland to Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits.
