Brand New

When they formed, the New Yorkers intended to make music free of any stylistic restrictions that they felt they would have to conform to. The band were lucky enough to sign with Triple Crown Records after just two shows who would go on to release the band’s debut album ‘Your Favorite Weapon’. The album was a fairly straight Pop-Punk record and as the band’s sound began to evolve throughout their career many of these songs have been left out of the transition.

During the relentless touring schedule for their first album, the band were able to write follow up ‘Deja Entendu’, French for ‘already heard’, which became the album that would really define Brand New’s sound. It was also the start of their broader success as the album eventually went gold and garnered radio play in multiple countries.

After increasingly high profile touring slots, the band signed to Interscope records and began work on their third album however complications with leaking demos made this a rough patch in the band’s career. In 2006 though, their third album ‘The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me’ was eventually released to critical and commercial acclaim, selling nearly 60,000 copies in its first week.

The popularity continued for the release of fourth album ‘Daisy’ and although the follow up is yet to come, there is no doubt that Brand New will be back bigger than ever soon enough.
