BRAND NEW
-Guest music writer: John Weber
There are few bands in the US that can produce continuously great albums as Brand New. Brand New, an alternate/rock/emo band, was formed in the early 2000's when Jesse Lacey (head vocals/guitarist) and Brian Lane (Drums) jammed together in a New York basement and decided that they had created a "new" sound. After recruiting Vinnie Accardi and Garrett Tierney, the band was formerly created. Brand New signed with Triple Crown Records, in October 2001 and released their first album, "Your Favorite Weapon." The album was received by the rock listeners as a moderate success.
It was not until their release of "Deja Entendu" in June 2003 that Brand New flourished with popularity. With their popular single "The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows," the band was featured on MTV2 and Fuse TV. While this was happening, the band then signed to Interscope Records, and according to the Alternative Press Readers Poll, they were named the artist of the year. This great success was nothing compared to their newest album, that exceeded my greatest expectations.
"The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me" was released in November 2006. I bought this album with very high hopes, and I am pleased to say, the CD has yet to vanquish them. "The Devil and God" is a well written album, including emotion rising lyrics coupled with amazing guitar and drum beats. Jesse's lyrics are wonderfully well written, written well enough to create chills down my back (an obvious sign of greatness). Brand New performed on Late Night With Conan O'Brien recently, a sure sign that their stardom is on the rise thanks to their newest success.
My (John's) Favorite
