Merrick, New York NY, United States (2000 – present)

Brand New is a rock band from Long Island, New York, and consists of lead vocalist, guitarist, and lyricist Jesse Lacey, guitarist Vincent Accardi, bass guitarist Garrett Tierney and drummer Brian Lane. Most recently Derrick Sherman joined the band on tour in 2006. The band was formed in 2000 in Merrick, New York and partly consists of former members of the band The Rookie Lot and Taking Back Sunday. Brand New has toured with many bands including Thrice, Beneath the Sun, Crime in Stereo, and mewithoutYou. The band has released three studio albums so far - Your Favorite Weapon (2001), Deja Entendu (2003), and The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me (2006). On February 12, 2007, in an interview with BBC Manchester, Lacey stated that the band plans to release another album.

They initially had a pop-punk sound, with stirring lyrics, and an unusually intricate sound for a band of this genre. Their second album showed a matured lyrical direction and a departure from their earlier pop-punk sound. Their current sound has more in common with indie-emo bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate and Straylight Run. They became part of the Long Island, New York indie/hardcore scene with the likes of The Movielife, From Autumn to Ashes, Glassjaw, and Taking Back Sunday, whom they are supposedly close friends with, but have had their share of misunderstandings. They have released three full-length albums and two EPs.

I think all 3 CDs are awesome. D&G and DE are my favourites, but recently I listen to YFW more because it's cute and fun and still has great lyrics.

Vandalheart likes a lot of punk bands, so I can see why he would enjoy their most irrational and shallow album. YFW is alright, but seriously Deja and DevilGod bend it over and anally molest the shit out of that album.

What I like about Brand New is that you can really see a growth between albums.

The band posted a myspace blog talking about the progress on there release which should be out sometime this year. Anyone who says they only listen to brand new because of your favorite weapon needs to relisten to there last two releases thet blow that cd out of the water..Brand New is Great because they ALWAYS get better and better with time.Anyone knows that.Its common sense.
