Com'è la questione con i Brand New? Indubbiamente complicata se ci si approccia solo ora, familiare se li si è visti crescere come il nonno con la nipotina. La band di Jesse Lacey è una bestia strana, che è riuscita ad evolversi – forse meglio dire stravolgersi – nel tempo senza far sentire i primi dischi come prodotti obsoleti voluti dal senno di poi ma lasciando al fruitore la possibilità di mettere i cd sul letto e dire 'molto bene, oggi mi sento più Your Favourite Weapon, me lo metto in macchina' o 'mi gira il cazzo a manetta, me [...]
At their recent sold out Crocodile Rock Cafe show, Brand New opened with a cover of Nine Inch Nails ' "Wish". Video of their rendition can be found below thanks to AvengeTheDeadHD .
In 2002, emo was the hottest thing for kids since snap-on bracelets. Angsty teenagers craving music flocked to find solace in bands like Taking Back Sunday, Brand New,My Chemical Romance, and Thursday. After all, this music was "theirs". Back then, these four bands from Long Island and New Jersey respectively, weren't the cult arena superstar rock bands that most know of today. And in all that, Taking Back Sunday was the band with the most drama. They had little feuds with Brand New and lyrical interpretation of "There's No I in Team", Brand New's "70 times 73 and [...]
As the first decade of the 2000's draws to a close, it's common place to look back over the last ten years and take stock. It with this in mind that I set myself to the task of determining who would be my choice for band of the decade. Some contenders immediately jumped to the top of the list, but standing in the darkened cavern of the Kool Haus it became perfectly clear who the eventual winner would be. I already had it boiled down to three bands. The two runners up being Thrice [...]
While you indie dudes were turning a blind eye to any band from Long Island that used a "post-" prefix to describe their sound earlier this decade, Brand New became a very big and important band for kids like me and our in-house photographer, Karp. When we unveil our best-of lists later this month for the decade and the year, you'll find a slew of this band's albums planted firmly in the top regions of mine. Anywho, those seeking proof of just how much Jesse Lacey and Co. have meant to people like [...]
Brand New plays "You Won't Know" at the House of Blues. Click here to see a full gallery of photos from the show I'd like to say that veteran emo-punkers Brand New's fans have... Support indie media! Read the rest at thephoenix.com . . .
It's difficult to describe the feeling of seeing your favorite band live for the first time. A lot of words come to mind – incredible, intense and spectacular (just to name a few). All of those words describe the Brand New and Manchester Orchestra concert last week at the Uptown Theatre. The beautiful, unique venue hosted a three-hour onslaught of pure rock music. Waiting through the line that wrapped around the outside of the building, you could feel the anticipation of the excitement about to come. [...]
After critically acclaimed album "The Devil and God Are Raging Inside of Me", many critics couldn't imagine emo kings Brand New stepping any further out of their type-casted persona. If there was any doubt before, there certainly is none now: Brand New is a tour-de-force. Don't get it twisted - they are as emotional as ever. After all, what artist isn't? This time, however, that emo, self-hating stereotype has manifested itself in deeper, rooted sentiments. The opening track 'Vices' is a perfect example. [...]
Brand New are in a position that many bands would both dread and be envious of. Since the release of 2001's Your Favorite Weapon Brand New has achieved cult status, and attained a rabid fan base that only grew with the release of 2003's incredible, genre defining Deja Entendu. The band took there time crafting one of the best albums ever when they recorded 2006's The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me, an album that was at once powerful, graceful and poetic, while pushing their sound to the limit, both technically and emotionally, with [...]
Trying to evaluate your favorite band's latest album is sort of like how I imagine self-performed open-heart surgery. And to boot, having that band be Brand New —a gang that earns as much sharp-tongued bullets as it does hugs and wet dream objectivity—it's like your words should be as ground-breaking as they come. They're the reason I literally wear a nickel around my neck (a nod to "The No Seatbelt Song," my dears). This Daisy conglomeration of a rock-and-ail renegade reaction has been pleasantly ground into my ears [...]
![Brand New – Sewing Season [Live from 'Daisy' Studio Video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1983437_lg.jpg)
I was sitting at home when Orlando/Portland DJ Brian Fowler sent me this video (props). This is a solo acoustic performance of ' Sewing Season ' by Brand New done by lead singer Jesse Lacey . The band is interviewed about their recording process, and how they communicate with each other in the studio. A lot of people have had mixed feelings about their newest album, which was leaked a few weeks back. Some people think it is their best album, a natural progression of sorts. Some people think they have fallen off [...]
We are constantly being influenced by our experiences. And we hope that this enhances the way we deliver music to you so you can go on and influence those around you as well. Mookie and The Little One are unabashed Brand New fans. So of course we were blown away by the new record, Daisy . We've got some new fans on our facebook page , namely Bradley Ball, who want to know if this album is any good. We take our reviews seriously sometimes, so we are working extra hard on [...]

I have been a little torn about this post. My inner fan says not to do it, but my Earmilk roots say to go for it. Then I saw what Jesse Lacey had to say about Brand New 's new album " Daisy " being leaked: "If you can find it, go for it." So with that said, what I have been waiting for for almost 3 years has finally come to fruition. Daisy, Brand [...]
Brand New continues puzzle the music world by changing the name of their upcoming album. Brand New has changed the name of their album from One Head Can Never Die to Daisy , however keeping the same release date as before which is September 22, 2009. There is no official confirmation that Daisy will be the album's name when it is released. Jesse Lacey, frontman of the band, spoke about the album with Kerrang!: "It's a pretty exhausting record. It's quite dense and I think some of the [...]
Taking Back Sunday have been churning out crowd pleasing, deeper than pop, rock since their 1999 inception in the modern musical hotbed of Long Island. The version of Taking Back Sunday that released New Again on June 2nd is ten years and a thousand miles away from that original incarnation, both musically and personnel wise with guitarist Eddie Reyes being the only original member still active in the band. Along the way TBS has shed members like a snake sheds skin and those members have gone on to different levels of success since leaving, with Jesse Lacey [...]
I don't know if it is like this for everyone who covers music, but as a music journalist I tend to adopt artists. I grab onto a project and take my coverage of it to the next level. It becomes much more than two thousand words on a record I'll probably never bother listening to again. It drives me emotionally to push this artist to the success they deserve in any way possible. It's hanging fliers and posting ever piece of news possible. It becomes word of mouth and finding a way to drop their name in every interview I [...]
The last time PopWreckoning tried to meet up with Christopher Browder of Mansions , a flat tire prevented Joshua from making it to the show. Perhaps, if he had seen them this summer, the band would have recognized him and Browder's tour mates would not have freaked out when they looked in their tour van to see what appeared to be homeless Joaquin Phoenix sitting in the front. So aside from this mishap of mistaken identity, the interview with Browder went quite well. Bethany mainly handled the questions and by the [...]
