- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
In the middle of the year 2000, after years of playing together in previous
bands, Brian Lane, Jesse Lacey, and Garrett Tierney recruited guitarist, and
soon to be friend Vincent Accardi and formed Brand New. After a year or so of
"doing their time" and the obligatory, and seemingly endless runs of self
booked shows and tours, the Long Island quartet finally recorded and released
their first record, Your Favorite Weapon. As it set the course for the next
decade of music the four youths were to embark on, the record also
established what would become both a longtime musical partnership and
friendship with local Producer/Engineer, Mike Sapone, who is sometimes
referred to as a fifth member of the band.
As YFW went on to sell its 300,000 copies, the band delved into multiple U.S.
tours, both headlining and supporting such bands as The Get Up Kids,
Dashboard Confessional, and Finch. It was their friends in Finch who
eventually took Brand New overseas to the United Kingdom in 2003 where the
band played its first shows on foreign soil. In years to come the band would
return many times, loyal to the following they had cultivated, headlining
show after sellout show including Brixton Academy and Hammersmith Apollo as
well as playing a short arena tour with Incubus. The four NY youths also
received coveted festival slots at Reading/Leeds, Glastonbury, and Give It a
Name.
In June 2003 Brand New released their beloved and best selling, Deja Entendu,
which they recorded in North Carolina with producer Steven Haigler. Besides
the familiar US headlining tours the band was now playing, they followed the
album with two music videos for the singles "The Quiet Things That No One
Ever Knows" and "Sic Transit Gloria...," as well as television appearances on
Fuse TV, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and MTV.
"It was on the Warped Tour that summer that we had really started to notice
things growing," said singer Jesse Lacey. "We entered Canada on that tour
playing to hundreds of people each show, and then I guess people had started
to listen to the record, and then the videos started rotation, and by the
time we got back to the US we were playing to thousands every day. It was
exciting, and we were grateful to be able to watch something we had created
take new shape right in front of our eyes like that."
Deja Entendu was later certified Gold and is touted by many of the band's
fans as their favorite album from the Long Island foursome.
That was until 2006's The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me.
Brand New's third album and major label debut, The Devil and God Are Raging
Inside Me, was released in November 2006. The work on Devil and God was long
and went through several iterations. The band worked on some early tracks
with renowned mixer/producer Rich Costey (Mars Volta, Ash) in East Hampton in
the dead of winter; found themselves in Mississippi with veteran producer
Dennis Herring (Modest Mouse, The Hives), and wound up finishing the
recordings with old friend and producer Mike Sapone in the rural mountains of
New England. Recruiting Jesse's cousin, Derrick Sherman, to join them on
stage as a touring guitarist, more touring followed as Brand New teamed up
with Dashboard Confessional and Thrice on separate North American tours,
played Lollapalooza, and hit Australia and Europe with a mix of headline
shows and festivals.
In late 2008 the band headed back into the studio to start work on their
forthcoming album, Daisy, due for release September 22nd, 2009. This time the
project started and finished in Mike Sapone's basement studio where the band
slept, ate, and eventually eked out all the tracks for the record which was
then mixed by Dave Sardy (Barkmarket, Cold War Kids, Oasis) in California.
The band's schedule for the Spring/Summer of 2009 includes German festivals,
a short UK tour, another Reading/Leeds appearance, and a startling return to
the small clubs where it all began.
Brand New will embark on a North American headline tour in the fall of 2009.
