Here is my first segment of band of the week. The fine gentlemen of Brand New have won this honor so lets get to know them. My obession and love for this phenomenon of musical talent is quite substantial people. Brand New hit the music scene around the turn of the mellenium from Merrick, New York. The members that currently comprise the band are: Singer and guitarist, Jesse Lacey; Lead guitar, Vincent Accardi; Bass guitarist, Garrett Tierney; Rhythm guitarist and keyboardist, Derrick Sherman; Drummer(ist? haha) Brian Lane. Let me tell you ever since these guys hit the punk rock scene they have been turning head and turning regular people into hardcore fans. Its like this, if you like Brand New you like them a lot. I've never met anyone who liked Brand New and couldn't rave about how amazing they are. There different from most punk bands in that they truly have deep lyrics. Carefull not to fall in though kiddies cause they don't create a ditch for their words, were talking like Grand Canyon deep status. However this kinda deep status doesn't occur till the second album Deja Entendu.
Here's my suggestion start with their first album "Your Favorite Weapon" some favorites of mine are Jude Law and a Semester Abroad, Mix tape, Failure by design, and Socco Amarreto Lime. The whole damn album is got some really great fast paced punk songs that really catch the ear by the lobe and yank. "Deja Entendu" has got to be the the fan favorite album though with hits like The Quiet Things No One Will Ever Know and Sic Transit Gloria... Glory Fades. But my all time favorite is I Believe You But My Tommy Gun Don't. And if you love Deja Entendu like the rest of the Brand New Army then you have no reason not to dig their latest albums The Devil and God Are Raging inside and Daisy. In fact you may even love them more.
