Brand New

Huge thanks to Justin for requesting this band, who just happen to be the perfect band to do this blog's 100th post on. So, without further ado, I give you the best band ever, Brand New. Thanks to Shadman and Nick for helping out with this post as well.


Brand New are from Long Island, New York, and formed in 2000. This band had its roots in another band called The Rookie Lot, which three Long Island kids named Jesse Lacey, Garrett Tierney, and Brian Lane were in, along with two other members (who ended up joining Crime In Stereo and The Movielife respectively). The three remaining members, along with the addition of Vin Accardi (formerly of One Last Goodbye), got together to form a new band. Voila, Brand New. After a few demos, they put out their debut in 2001 on Triple Crown Records. At this time, they were writing catchy pop punk songs full of adolescent bitterness (in the best way possible). Their next release, Deja Entendu, displayed them maturing as a band and reaching a much larger audience. They signed to a major (Interscope) to release their third album, though took a break shortly after their signing. They also added another guitarist, Derrick Sherman, to their line-up in 2005. Eventually, 9 songs intended for their upcoming album were leaked, and a whole lot of shit went down. Finally, The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me was released in 2006, with a sound quite different from their previous albums. This is their most well-known and loved work, and has practically solidified its place as being a "classic" already (though the same could be said about the entire band). After another three years of touring/hiding, they released Daisy, which was darker, heavier, and more rhythm-oriented than their previous material (basically, they change a lot between albums). They're currently unsigned, though rumors about a new album have been rampant for years, and are continuing their touring/hiding cycle. There's my brief bio of the band. I don't actually know what to say about them, I mean, everybody knows and loves them, right? Here's a whole bunch of stuff by the widely influential legends themselves, enjoy, as I'm sure you will. Also, if anybody has anymore stuff by them that's not included here, feel free to send it to me and I'll add it.

1. Out Of Range

Note: This song was recorded in 2010, but only recently leaked.  It has no official release, and no plans to be at this point in time. There seems to still be some debate as to whether this is a "Brand New" song or not. Jesse and Vin are both definitely involved, and it certainly could pass for a Brand New song post-Daisy. I guess what I'm saying is that this song involves members of Brand New, but may not have been intended for that project specifically. Regardless, this song is great. 2016 Update: It was released as a b-side to the 7" version of "Mene"

  7. This is an amazing collection. I think you may be missing the "Trailer Trash" Modest Mouse cover, but still the best I've ever seen.

    1. I'm pretty sure that Jesse covered that by himself live. Like, not with the rest of the band, so technically it isn't Brand New. That's also why the acoustic performance of Limousine (which is amazing btw) isn't on here

    2. they have covered trailer trash as a full band. i can only specifically cite one time - dewey beach, MD circa 2003 ... but I believe it has happened several times.

    3. Is there a high quality version of the trailer trash cover anywhere for download?

    4. You've also forgotten, or not updated with Sealed to Me,
      or the untitled songs, I think it's like 1-5?
