July 1st, 2009 by Classical Music Expert
In the year of 2000 a new band was forming in the town of Levittown, New York, USA. The band members for brand new merch came from various musical backgrounds including The Rookie Lot and the band known as Taking Back Sunday.
The personalities that make up this band include Jesse Lacey as lead vocalist, rhythm guitar and lyricist, Vincent Accardi as lead guitarist, lyricist and background vocalist, Garrett Tierney as bass guitarist, Derrick Sherman as keyboardist, background vocalist and rhythm guitarist, and Brian Lane as the drummer. Benjamin Homola has also appeared as the drum tech for select song pieces including Millstone, Degausser, Welcome to Bangkok, Limousine, and Tautou.
Brand New are continually churning out albums to please their fans. So far, they have released three studio albums including Your Favourite Weapon (2001),The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me (2006), and Deja Entendu (2003).
First albulm released was Your Favourite Weapon which gave Brand New the opportunity to introduce themselves to the public with a mix of already recorded songs as well as some new ones. With this album they were able to tour nationally and internationally, supporting other musical groups such as Taking Back Sunday, Less Than Jake, Glassjaw, Incubus and Finch.
Next albulm release was Deja Entendu in June of 2003, and with it came an entirely different sound with songs that were more polished and a slower, deeper style entirely. The name Deja Entendu is French, and was inspired by an episode of the television game show Jeopardy. Certified as Gold in the United States, Deja Entendu was also listed as number 5 of a Top 10 album list by the New York Times music critic, Kelefa Sanneh.
Their last released album was ‘The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me’ produced by Mike Sapone who also had a hand in their debut album, Your Favourite Weapon.
To the bands detriment 9 of the demos for this 3rd studio album were leaked out during production and hit the Internet, all without titles or of known origin.
The title of this album was an idea developed after speaking with a friend regarding a musician, Daniel Johnston that suffers from a bipolar disorder.
One of the previously leaked untitled tracks, known as ‘Untitled 07’, has been renamed as Fork and Knife and stands as an Internet download only without a physical release as a single.
