Take Apart Your Thread (THE OFFICIAL BRAND NEW THREAD)

[Dinosawesome]

I give you... the BRAND NEW interview!

1. What was the first record each of you ever bought?

Brian: The first CD I ever purchased by myself was Metallica ... And Justice For All. My mom took it away from me post-haste. Told me it was garbage. Also, Guns N Roses Use Your Illusion 2 on cassette. My parents read the lyrics in the booklet, and recorded over the songs they didn't like with the first song "Civil War". I never knew the song "Get In The Ring" until four years after that record came out.

Jesse: I hate Guns N Roses

Garrett: I stole Electric Larryland by Butthole Surfers from my sister. I don't know why she had that record.

J: Mine was probably Billy Joel's Greatest Hits or a Weird Al record. I listened to Billy Joel so much when I was a kid. Actually it might have been a Michael W. Smith record from the Billy Graham crusade. The Big Picture?

Vin: I don't remember the first record I bought, but I remember the first BMG record club albums I ever ordered were Pearl Jam Ten and RHCP Blood Sugar Sex Magic.

2. What would you each say your favorite song to play live is?

J: I like "Jaws Theme Swimming" every time we get to it. But right now it's "Degausser", or another one of the newer songs.

G: I would have to say all of our new songs.

V: I'd have to say "Jaws Theme" or "Degausser" also.

3. Does the new album have any musical influence not seen on previous Brand New records, either from a genre or a particular artist?

J: I hope so. But once again, probably not as much as we would like. Still, I think it would be ridiculous to assume that we discovered nothing new over the last three years. I've noticed with the other guys, as well as me, that it's a lot about REdiscovering. Who knows how many writers or records or--I don't know--foods or sports, whatever I was into when I was younger, that I'm realizing were pretty great then and now still are. You have to trust the taste you had when you were a more real person than you are now. When you didn't rely so much on other people to figure out what was good. For instance, Meltdown by Steven Taylor has some good tracks, you know?

V: It was probably not so much the discovery of new music but more about finding new ways to play my instrument. It's not so much any particular outside influence, but more about reevaluating the tools you already have and using them differently.

4. Now that you guys have moved on to a major label, are you afraid of anything that might come along with larger scale exposure?

G: Yeah, that we might get too big.

J: Yeah, I'm scared of the hype. I'm scared of people who never heard our band trying to sell it to people who are, you know, breathing it already.

V: Everything.

[Dinosawesome]

5. Did the internet leak of your demos affect the progress of the new album?

G: If it affected anything, I would say it did it in a good way 'cause so many people were curious to hear what we have been doing--and for the most part, the record tracks don't sound anything like the leaked demos.

J: For me it was different. It had me pretty down for a while. No one likes to show their creation in mid-process, and those songs weren't done. They were like blueprints. Just the plan, right? It put me in a state where I was under the impression that those songs had been wasted or something--that we had to go and write new things because those had been heard. Now, in retrospect, I want those songs to be on the album and many of them aren't, and I'm probably more to blame for that than anyone. This record already feels incomplete to me without those tracks and probably will forever.

V: I can relate to both of those sentiments. In one way it was kind of refreshing and motivating to know that people were still so interested and curious as to what we were up to in that period where we sort of disappeared. But I was also worried that it would derail the process because the four of us had created a pretty safe place where the only critics were ourselves. As much as we tried to shield ourselves from letting the leak affect us, it definitely did. There was a feeling of being robbed, after keeping everything so close to ourselves and then having it heard before it was completed. As Jesse said, I wish some of those songs were on the record. But they do exist on a certain plane, so people do know that we were working and creating.

6. In an industry where bands must constantly tour and put out new music to maintain sales and the interest of their fans, how do you think a relatively small band like yours has managed to keep such a diehard following during two years of downtime?

J: It's a mystery. I really have no idea, but we'd all like it to be known that we know how blessed we are.

G: 'Cause when it comes down to it, we are dedicated to what we do, and we aren't big-headed when it comes to our fans. We appreciate everything that has been thrown our way.

7. If you each had to pick a favorite song off the upcoming record, which one would it be and why?

J: "Degausser", 'cause it's the only song we ever wrote spontaneously with the four of us in a room together. After that, I'd pick "Handcuffs".

V: For me, it's too early to tell. But I agree with Jesse on "Degausser", and also "Handcuffs", because of the dramatic changes from its inception to completion. It ended up far more beautiful than I had hoped for. It truly exceeded my expectations.

8. Now that you've started using piano (specifically on one of the new songs you've been playing live), are there any other instruments that you would like to explore incorporating into your music?

G: Every instrument you can think of will be, or is on, the record.

J: Every instrument that has ever existed, he means. Not ones you can imagine.

G: Yeah, that's what I meant.

J: Answering this question feels like a cop-out because I don't think that the number of instruments a band incorporates says anything about their music. Especially now, with the trend in "performance bands," and the like. I think there are a lot of acts around now that should have just stuck to their guitars, or stuck to ENJOYING Elephant Six or Saddle Creek, and not trying to be it. On the other hand, I think there can be more to rock than a Mesa Boogie stack. I think the guitar is a limitless instrument and I hope I continue to explore it for the rest of my life, as well as other instruments. I DO play some okay brass.

V: As far as bands starting to explore the use of other instruments, it always seems to be a touchy subject--for both the band and audience. Both parties may feel alienated, to an extent. In the time that we had to get this record together, all four of us found a new level of comfort with the instruments we have been playing for so many years. But also in that time, we all became interested in others. Piano, Rhodes, bells, lap steel, brass, etc. I know for myself, playing other instruments always excites me to get back to my guitar. That might just be because I am better at it, but really, after playing piano or trumpet it would make me play my guitar differently due to trying to incorporate a certain skill learned from those instruments into my guitar playing. I think when we all started to get the idea that guitars might not be the only instruments on the record, we made sure to keep in mind that there still needed to be [a balance.] Otherwise, we would have sounded like a marching band. It's maintaining a balance. And it can be difficult to know when you've gone too far, especially when you are not accustomed to writing parts for other instruments, or even hearing them as a part of the music. Still though, I think we were able to achieve that. Guitars, bass, and drums remained the core of what was happening while everything else was simply used to enhance a song.

9. What is the title of the new album?

G: What do you want it to be?

J: We have a title?

10. If you had to describe the new album in one word, besides "good" or any of its synonyms, what would it be?

G: Really good.

V: Exhausting.

[Dinosawesome]

11. What were the best and worst parts of recording the new album?

G: (Worst) Recording it. (Best) Recording it.

J: The best, for me, was only working on it with people we consider friends. Sapone, Herring, Claudius, Rich Costey, etc. Also the Sherman/Accardi/Lacey percussion on "Millstone", and Vin and my double guitar wig out on the second half of "You Won't Know", which may or may not have made the final cut. Also, the catfish from Taylor's Grocery.

The worst was calling it finished.

V: Best- Taylor's Grocery. Spending late nights in Walmart with anyone else involved in the project who was losing their minds as much as I was at 4 am, leading us to make the most ridiculous, unnecessary purchases possible. Also, watching Jesse construct the scariest Halloween costume ever. Worst - any time I wasn't in Walmart or Taylor's Grocery.

12. Is Jesse's cousin, Derek, officially in the band now?

B: Derek has been with us throughout the making of the new record. He will be playing parts on every single song, and he will basically be playing an essential role in the future of the band. He is here for our own mental sanity, and to complete the sound on stage. He has been with us for a while now, and I easily consider him part of the band.

G: The Worm is in the band for good!

J: Let's stop calling him my cousin though. That was a joke.

B: No it wasn't

V: Sherman... now helping to sonically annihilate the world.

13. When writing the new album, did you ever feel that the pressure to progress outweighed the organic nature of your songwriting?

J: Uh…

G: Not for a second

J: Yeah, I guess not. If anything, it was the opposite. In terms of the "external forces" (quotation hand gestures) we felt more pressure to NOT progress on this album than ever before. It wasn't normal or healthy for us, and I think it played a large part in the struggle that was making this album. Left to ourselves, we probably would have been more self-indulgent and released something that wasn't financially in anyone's interest. Unfortunately, our creative decisions are no longer ours to be made alone for ourselves. We are only a small part, now, of a much larger machine that has made us completely dependent on it… but which, for all intents and purposes, can function perfectly well without us.

14. At a recent show, Jesse mentioned that he no longer agrees with many of the things he says in "Soco Amaretto Lime." How do you think the band has matured since the release of Your Favorite Weapon, and how has that affected the band both musically and individually?

J: It really isn't a matter of disagreeing with the lyrics of a song, which in this case wouldn't really make that much sense because the song is a story. It is more the feeling of no longer being able to relate to certain aspects of an earlier version of myself. There are certain things that you celebrate when you are young, and you do this BECAUSE you are young and so you have this built-in urge to scoff at various ideas of maturity or responsibility because you CAN. The problem lies in how unbecoming the same attitude is when you see it in someone who is only four or five years older. I don't think any of us have any Peter Pan fantasies, and I don't get down on myself for not having more foresight when I was younger, but there really is no part of me that wishes I was still there. More than anything, I was toasting youthfulness, not decadence, but I feel I used the wrong words. I am also completely fine with writing a song now, or having an idea, that someone ten years my junior can't relate to. In fact, I hope for it. I wouldn't speak for the whole band in this, but I know it happens. I saw Vin apply things to his life over the last couple of years that I am only starting to understand now, and he is five years younger than me. If changes like that in a person's real life don't reflect themselves in his art, then I think it is the audience's responsibility to ask why not. What is the appeal of someone who never learns anything or ever answers a question? Or worse, someone who never has a question? Or then what would the appeal be of someone who learns everything but never shares it? I'm not talking about disco either. People don't listen to our music cause you can dance to it. I know why people listen to our music and it has little to do with dancing.

15. How many songs have you written since the release of Deja Entendu, and how many of them are actually going to end up on the new album?

B: Around 750,000. The new record will have 11 or 12 of them.

G: About 45, about 45.

J: Forty or something. Yeah, I think 11 or 12 on the record?

16. Who have you always dreamed of touring with, that you've yet to have the chance to?

G: Grandfunk Railroad

J: I never dreamed of touring. Touring with Colour Revolt, Eisley, Hotrod Circuit... was a dream come true. People who you can spend time around and love and who love you back. Plus, they make music that you really don't grow tired of. It's a joy to witness these bands every night.

17. When will the new album be released?

G: November 21st.

J: Too soon

V: Yeah, November...of 2015. It will be in the form of the new iTunes microchip that will be directly installed into your brain. I am proud to say we will be the first band to deliver music in this format.

18. After the success of Deja Entendu and the hype surrounding its follow-up, did you ever worry that the new album might never actually be complete?

G: It almost wasn't

J: I think it still isn't

19. Why did you change your URL to fightoffyourdemons.com?

J: 'Cause we wanted people to ask us why.

G: 'Cause brandnewrock is (expletive).

20. With all the time you spend with each other, have you found yourselves taking on roles? i.e. "The Funny One" or "The Serious One"

G: That question is stupid.

V: I, too, think this is an outrageous question. I will say, however, that Brian once took the claim of "The Shy Guy." We all laughed at him.

21. What are the most difficult parts of having a career like yours--and when things get tough, where do you find the motivation and/or inspiration to keep going?

G: In other activities I enjoy, or the people I love the most.

B: The most difficult part about being in a band, for me, is being away from friends and family so much. This time around, we got to spend an ample amount of time at home in between touring and starting to make the new record, and it has helped me build new relationships and sort out old ones. It is something that is very hard to do when you are so far from home, so often. I love playing music. I love making music. That's always what balances it out. And when we play shows, the fact that people are there to see us is really what keeps me going.

22. With the titles of the new songs appearing on the set list as "Yeah," "Mamas," "Fork And Knife," and "Take Apart Your Head," has Brand New retired the practice of sentence-long titles that have nothing to do with the song?

G: Those are just abbreviations.

J: Abbreviations. I'm not so sure they have nothing to do with the song. I think "Positively 4th Street" is one of my favorite names for a song. I always wonder why it was named that.

23. Did the writing process for the new album differ from the previous albums?

G: Yeah, that's why it took two years.

J: It was the same process, essentially, of someone bringing an almost completed song to the rest of the band, and then the four of us hashing out the specifics of it: the tempo, the changes, etc. "Degausser" and "Yeah" were unique because they happened spontaneously with three, or all four, of us in the room together. All the music and lyrics for "Handcuffs" was finished by Vin when he brought it. I suppose there were more individual songs on this album that were either written by just one of us, or, by all of us together--but the meat of the record was the same process of an idea that got worked and reworked. A lot of that happens inside the studio when we are listening to things back on tape and realizing something doesn't sound how we expected… then we go in and figure out how to make it sound like we were all hearing it in our heads. There really is no secret or trick... it's the same way ten million other bands probably work out their stuff. All very tedious and boring.


24. Any chance you'll tell us the track listing of the album?

G: Nope

J: We don't know what tracks are gonna be on the album, and if we did, they would only have names that were "abbreviations" that would give you no real insight into what song it actually was 'cause we only made them up for ourselves and various people working on the project to be able to identify them. I just got bingo. We're all playing bingo now, just so you know.

[Kif]

Well played Nath. Stupid BN street team won't let me sign up.

[bottlerocket]

The guys in Brand New are such jackasse. Wicked stuck up and haughty. Jesse's amazing but he's such a miserable guy and hates being famous which makes him sort of a prick.

I still like their music a lot, though.

-Gav

[fghtffyrdmns]

Thanks for that. I liked the read.

Anyone know anything about this Degausser track? Is it one of the demos or what?

haha what

the only reason i could see you saying that is because jesse keeps complaining about the new album

and i dont blame him because i think its going to be a huge dissapointment too

[CommieCanada]

the new album has far too much hype. Its not going to be that good.

Jesse is a prick, but he writes good songs, so whatever.

[Dinosawesome]

Well played Nath. Stupid BN street team won't let me sign up.
:cool:

[TakeWarning]

I don't really know much about/anything about the members of Brand New, but they do sound kind of stuck-up from this.

New album will most likely be a dissapointment, methinks.

[bottlerocket]

haha what

No, I know for a fact Jesse's a prick IRL. I've seen themlive and he treats fans like crap. One time, he was walking from the tour bus to the venue through back door and some girl was like, "Jesse, I love your music" and he looked at her, looked away, and kept walking...not even a "thank you" or anything.

He did let me bum a cig off him once, though, so that was sweet.

-Gav

[TakeWarning]

I can totally imagine Jesse as a cocky mother****er.

"I am everything you've ever wanted" sums up how highly he thinks of himself pretty well.

[bottlerocket]

That whole song basically sums it up.

So does "I Will Play My Game Beneath the Spin Light." None of them like touring, their fans, or being famous.

The line "Know we do this because we care, not for the thrill" is BS because they don't care about their fans at all. Look at the song "Me vs. Maradona vs. Elvis." The song's so sad but everytime I hear it I hate Jesse a little more but I simultaneously love him.

-Gav

[Ande12333]

Thanks for that. I liked the read.

Anyone know anything about this Degausser track? Is it one of the demos or what?


yeah i would like to get my hands on that
and are they playing the new album on the tour now?

[jeffro]

Thanks for that. I liked the read.

Anyone know anything about this Degausser track? Is it one of the demos or what?

I'm pretty sure Degauser is Take Apart Your Head, because they said they were playing it live, and the name fits the song perfectly. I'll upload it in a minute.

[fghtffyrdmns]

Oh well if it's just Take Apart Your Head then don't worry about it, I've got that one.

[Kif]

He isn't cocky. They just realized that they don't need excessive interviews to further their career. This is one of the only interviews they've done in years. I can't remember the last time I saw them do one actually. It's quite a rare thing to see, that's why it's so hyped.

[bottlerocket]

Saying Jesse isn't cocky is like saying George W. Bush isn't an idiot.

-Gav

[Kif]

You was just analysing the band based on lyrics Jesse wrote. Comparing 2 songs and then interpretting them yourself to fuel your argument that Brand New are arrogrant and cocky pricks is pretty stupid if you ask me.

[bottlerocket]

-I've heard plenty of stories
-When I saw them live, the general way they carry themselves
-The way they behaved in that interview gave me sketchy vibes
-I've seen it firsthand at shows where Brand New plays
-It's in the lyrics and songs

So yeah, there's more to fuel my argument. Still think my argument is stupid?

Face it: Jesse's a prick. Amazing songwriter, yeah, but that doesn't automatically by-pass the fact he can still be cruel.

-Gav

[Kif]

What I know is Jesse is a self-proclaimed perfectionist. He's wrote off their first 2 albums, and apparently already feels this one is incomplete. The way I see it, is that he is too passionate about the music. So much so that he feels interviews and overzealous fans ruin it for him, or more so his quest to record something perfect.

When you put it that way, I can see how he can come off as a prick. I still don't believe that though, and think he's just very careful with the media and how it displays both himself and the band.

[chumpradio]

Full UK tour in January/February. Cannot wait, just need to find some people to go with.

I know people who have met him and say he's a prick.

I don't see why you can't accept that Jesse is just a cruel person. It's not totally farfetched. :lol:

Pretentious=/=cruel

[bottlerocket]

Thanks, Noah Webster.

I'm asserting he's both pretentious and cruel.

-Gav

[B]

I don't see how you could think he's cruel at all. The only thing he seems to give off is having a huge ego. :-/

[bottlerocket]

Me vs. Maradona vs. Elvis is pretty cool.

yeah he comes off as arrogant in anything ive ever read. as though he feels he doesnt owe the fans for his success.

[B]

Maybe she was an ugly bitch I don't know.

If I bummed a cig off him I would probably die. He's like my idol just because his name.

I like Jesse, I feel I have a special bond with other arrogant people in the world. A bond that lets me know how much more superior I am to them in every single aspect of existence.

:cool:

[bottlerocket]

was it wierd asking a famous person for cig.. or where they underground?

It was like...this August, so they were famous.

He was smoking a cig and I was like, "Hey, man, I'm a huge fan. Can I bum a cig?"

He was a bit reserved talking. I'd be like, "So, do you like Boston?" He was just like, "Yeah" and didn't look at me or anything, so I was like, "Cooler than Long Island?" He said, "No, Long Island's amazing."

/2 minutes of silence

/Jesse puts out cig and walks away without saying bye

It was definitely weird.

You could just tell he genuinely didn't want to talk to me.

Maybe I'm not explaining it right or there's too many fanboys in here.

Ok guys, I am in trouble.

I found a hot girl who likes me. She also likes Brand New, and shes thinks that I like Brand New.

Problem: I've never listened to Brand New.

Requests:
1. Which CD(s) should I download/acquire?
2. What important things should I know about Brand New that only a proper fan would know?
3. Anything else that can make me look like I've been into them for ages when really I've lied and then gone onto an internet forum for help?

Any help is much appreciated here gentlemen. Much love <3

PS: She's really hot!

[Pazz]

Pics?

They have two CDs, Deja Entendu and Your Favourite Weapon. They also have an EP called The Holiday. Their new CD is due November 21st.

The somewhat sarcastic song title "Seventy Times 7" in Your Favorite Weapon comes from a verse in the Holy Bible - Matthew 18:22 - where Jesus tells Peter he must forgive him "seventy times seven" times, and the song is about a disagreement between Jesse Lacey, and childhood friend John Nolan formerly from Taking Back Sunday.

Brand New isn't very fond of Taking Back Sunday.

wikipedia is great for help though.

[form]

yeah pixorlies

[Ross]

Excellent, Deja Entendu is now downloading from a daily upload from a couple of weeks ago.

To me, she's hawt. She's 18 too, so woot for finding someone my age who likes good music and likes me too!

Thanks, I'll check Wikipedia now! Any more help is much appreciated, but I'd definitly rep you Pazz if I had the power for the lifesaving you've done for me tonight :p

Beaten :(

But those aren't the actual titles, just nicknames that the band uses amongst themselves (note: absence of 'Take Apart Your Head')

[shugzz]

Wasn't it going to be called 'fight off your demons' ?

I need to check their page...

[Dinosawesome]

They called their website "Fight Off Your Demons" but never directly stated that thatt would be the name of the album. People just made assumptions.

[chumpradio]

Beaten :(

But those aren't the actual titles, just nicknames that the band uses amongst themselves (note: absence of 'Take Apart Your Head')
Has the band actually confirmed this?
I am pretty sure these are the actual titles, and Take Apart Your Head was just a nickname because it was an easy to remember line from the song.

[Dinosawesome]

Not confirmed or denied, but I saw this:
On September 19, 2006, the band stated several new song titles in a street team interview. The songs mentioned are "Degausser". "Handcuffs", "Millstone", "Yeah", and "You Won't Know". When asked if they were ceasing to use "sentence long" song titles, the band stated that all song titles are currently abbreviations of the actual titles, although this could just be a humorous jest pointed at themselves.

[Kif]

Considering there's no source linked to that, I'm curious as to whether that is true or not. Besides which, Brand New aren't known for naming their song titles after actual lyrics.

[lunchforthesky]

if theve really gone of the long song titles then wouldnt the album have a more simple name as well. like funeral for a friend did with hours.

it could be right but i just dont think it is.

[bottlerocket]

Problem: I've never listened to Brand New.

Requests:
1. Which CD(s) should I download/acquire?
2. What important things should I know about Brand New that only a proper fan would know?
3. Anything else that can make me look like I've been into them for ages when really I've lied and then gone onto an internet forum for help?

Any help is much appreciated here gentlemen. Much love <3

PS: She's really hot!

You should probably stop being a tool and lying and just say, "I've never listened to Brand New. What should I check out?" She can tell you what to look into. It's a good basis on which to start talking to her and getting to know her and her taste in music.

Ok so I may have slagged off the "emo" scene in the past... but now I see the positive side of it. Totally, 100%. omgz

LOL!!!!!!

[Ross]

Shh, being a tool is totally my style.

[bottlerocket]

:lol:

Seriously, though, I think you should start your friendship based on that and build from it. Why lie? Be honest, you know? The best relationships need honesty to work out so start it now. :D

-Gav

[Kif]

Maybe because he wasn't starting a friendship, and just wanted to get some action in the pants :thumb:

Still, music is a good basis for friendships

[Kif]

Brand New will be doing an instore Tuesday, November 21st at 7PM at Vintage Vinyl in NJ. Preorder their upcoming CD, The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me, at the store to get a wristband to the show.

[bottlerocket]

Maybe because he wasn't starting a friendship, and just wanted to get some action in the pants :thumb:

Still, music is a good basis for friendships

Action in the pants: You can pull this maneuver but it's still wrong. I mean, I do it, but I hate the fact I do it. :(

WELL I GUESS THIS IS GROWING UP!

Yeah, music + friendship = wn

-Gav

[Ross]

Why lie? Be honest, you know?

I was drunk and very stunned that this hot girl was talking to me; I found it hard enough to keep a straight face, what in the hell I was saying was the last thing on my mind :thumb:

But meh, I guess as a result of it all I've finally gotten into Brand New. The 4th track (Tommy Gun in the title) on Deja has a really kickin' riff in the second half that pleases me sexually.

[Untitled]

Excellent, Deja Entendu is now downloading from a daily upload from a couple of weeks ago.

Ok so I may have slagged off the "emo" scene in the past... but now I see the positive side of it. Totally, 100%. omgz

To me, she's hawt. She's 18 too, so woot for finding someone my age who likes good music and likes me too!

Thanks, I'll check Wikipedia now! Any more help is much appreciated, but I'd definitly rep you Pazz if I had the power for the lifesaving you've done for me tonight :p

Looks like a girl i was talking to in uni the other day.

[Ross]

Now that'd be a mad coincidence.

[Untitled]

Haha, i say we was talking, it was wierd.

She came and sat next to me, and said "hi" i said "hello" but then i had to move before i could talk to her properly because we didnt have enough room for our easels.

[Dinosawesome]

Considering there's no source linked to that, I'm curious as to whether that is true or not. Besides which, Brand New aren't known for naming their song titles after actual lyrics.
The source is the interview, isn't it?

Straight from the band itself:
22. With the titles of the new songs appearing on the set list as "Yeah," "Mamas," "Fork And Knife," and "Take Apart Your Head," has Brand New retired the practice of sentence-long titles that have nothing to do with the song?

G: Those are just abbreviations.

J: Abbreviations. I'm not so sure they have nothing to do with the song. I think "Positively 4th Street" is one of my favorite names for a song. I always wonder why it was named that.

[Triangle]

The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me:

01. Sowing Season (Yeah)
02. Millstone
03. Jesus Christ
04. Degausser
05. Limousine
06. You Won't Know
07. Welcome to Bangkok
08. Not the Sun
09. Luca
10. Untitled
11. Archers
12. Handcuffs
Sounds interesting... that is if that's the official track listing.

[Kif]

News wrap-up:

• Pre-order for the new album is on Monday at smartpunk, merchdirect and interpunk. Pre-orders will come with a special CD single for the track "Sowing Season (Yeah)".
• New contest will be starting on the website soon. Apparently it's pretty huge, but no details yet (Heh, I'm so shocked).
• European tour will be announced soon (Huzzah!).

I wish Brand New would stop posting news about soon-to-be-announced news posts. It's annoying.

[Dinosawesome]

Better than them posting nothing like they usually do :p

[Virus278]

Wasn't the new album scheduled to come out on October 13th?

[chumpradio]

November 21st.
Or 20th for us lucky people in the UK. :D

[Virus278]

November 21st.

Oh wow, they must have rescheduled the release date or something cause didn't they originally say the 13th? (of October)

[Dinosawesome]

No that's what speculative magazines said, the band never made any official announcement until the 9th of September where they said it will be released november 21st.

[Ande12333]

anybody hard news of a leak yet?

I have absolutely no idea if this is legit, but bearing in mind this is Brand New, it is plausible. The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me album art:

I like the one on the far rights slippers :p

[Dinosawesome]

That picture is on the main page at http://www.fightoffyourdemons.com /and looks just like all the other photography Brand New has put their throughout the making of this album. I actually think it would make a pretty cool album cover but I imagine it's more likely Brand New just changed their webpage image to a halloween theme for the upcoming holiday.

[Kif]

I don't think so. Most of the photography on their website is random, yet this is apparently the only image up there at the moment. As well, the image on AP.net is high-def, which begs why would it be on there as a higher quality picture if it was just a random image on the band's website?

[Dinosawesome]

Well they had the one image up for a while (actually about 5 months) beforehand so I wouldn't put it past them.

I just can't picture Brand New with a photo as an album cover.

Still is a cool picture though.

[Kif]

Well, it's on their Myspace as well as their main picture, and Wikipedia (Although we all know Wikipedia doesn't count for **** without sources. I imagine it is the album art with the different versions of covers that are getting spread around teh net.

Sellsheet for anyone who cares (Whoever at Interscope wants Brand New to be interviewed by AltPress clearly doesn't know who they are dealing with)

Tate was saying he got the image off Interscope and it is apparently the official cover. It's also on Merchdirect (I think) as the image for pre-ordering.
Yet with Brand New, they could be doing anything. It wouldn't surprise me if this was just a joke.

[Kif]

Jesse looks really pissed there.
And kind of like John Nolan.

Vinnie looks cool though, so it's OK.

[Ganondorf]

Any new music from them as of yet?

[bottlerocket]

And kind of like John Nolan.

Vinnie looks cool though, so it's OK.

Hahaha, wicked true. I forgot Brand New and Straylight were both trying so hard to be each other and different at the same time.

[Kif]

Straylight are trying harder. Prepare To Be Wrong is proof. Even if it did suck.

[HomeCatMickey8]

Preparing to be Wrong sucked?

I'd have to disagree. And Michele is amazingly hot, so yeah.

But to stay on topic, when's the new BN album come out?

[bottlerocket]

Michelle is hot.

The album hits stores Nov. 21.

[Dinosawesome]

Straylight are trying harder. Prepare To Be Wrong is proof. Even if it did suck.
I liked PTBW

[chumpradio]

Prepare To Be Wrong had 2 of Straylights best songs (A Slow Descent and Hands In The Sky), yet also in my opinion their worst (I Don't Want This Anymore).
The cover is decent, and It Never Gets Easier and Later That Year are just like standard Straylight songs.

[Kif]

"Hands In The Sky" was the only new song that interested me. I prefered the old versions of "It Never Gets Easier" and "A Slow Decent", and the other songs don't really feel very boring to me.

Oh well, I think a lot of people knew that EP was just an excuse to get off of Victory, so here's to hoping the next album will be awesome.

In BN news, I have 2 bootlegged songs from Bamboozle ("Degausser" and "You Won't Know"). I haven't listened to them yet, and probably never will, but if anyone wants to check them out, I'll upload them.

[chumpradio]

Sowing Season is on their myspace.
Check it out!
Great song, a lot better than the demo.

[Kif]

I'm not listening. I'm waiting for the album, when I can listen to it in it's entirety.

This is the one album I swore I wouldn't download, wouldn't preview or anything.

How can you judge an album that hasn't even been released on the demos?

If this album is a huge letdown, it's only because of the insane amount of hype behind it. Which is why I've been pretty much ignoring any interviews the band has done, anything mentioned on MTV.com or AP.net.

Ive not judge the album, but its being so hyped and stuff, i just dont think itll justify the hype. I also dunno if it can outdo Deja.

I hope it does, and tbh, ive not realy been paying attention to much about the hype either, so i hope its good.

Im trying to listen to sowing season, but myspace wont let me for some reason, ill try purevolume.

[Kif]

I'm not surprised, Myspace will be getting hammered because of this.

[Untitled]

Heh, its not on there purevolume, darn it.

Ill just listen to Deja.

myspace is lame =[

Oh snap, Straylight will put a new song on their Myspace after they get 2.5 million plays.

Oh, and http://www.myspace.com/absolutepunk have new BN song I think.

[Untitled]

Broke link.

I never got straylight, i dont like them much.

I preferd the guys in TBS.

[chumpradio]

This song is so awesome.
Jesse's scream in the chorus sounds great, a lot better than his old screams.

Along with the other live songs I've heard, I don't think this record will disappoint. It may not quite be as good as Deja, but I think it will be one of the best of 07.

[Untitled]

Do you have a version you could upload for me :)

Cause myspazz, is a spazz.

[chumpradio]

Nah, I'm listening to the one off AP.net's myspace profile.
I cannot wait for this album. I want to hear Luca, seeing as Demo 6 was one of my favourites of the demos.

[Untitled]

Sounds a plan, im gonna do that ithink

[Untitled]

My opinion of the song....

Starts of pretty poorly in my opinion, but from the first chorus on its a pretty amazing song i think.

Good Game, the album is looking up.

There's a download link if anyone wants to put the song on their iPod or anything.

I love the new song.

It's a bit different but change is good, jesse and the other guys can pull it off.

Can't wait for the new album now, seeing them again when they tour the uk aswell next year.

MEN is good for big bands, but i think brand new should be in the acadamy, acadamy1 at the most.

But heh, what can i do, Apollo will have to do i guess.

[chumpradio]

I'm debating whether to go to this gig.
I've just not been enjoying gigs for a while, and no one I know is into Brand New, so I'd be going alone.

[Firecracker]

Oh my god, I will go with you Chris if no one else will!

I've got me a Hammersmith Apollo ticket. :)

woke up early (9am) to get me a standing ticket for manchester apollo.
any word on the support, probably wont be at this stage

I'd like to go to Glasgow but nobody likes them here :(

[lunchforthesky]

ive got three new songs.

jesus christ
archers
not the sun

there all good. especially jesus christ.

I listened to them once... then deleted.

I have to have the whole album. :(

[chumpradio]

ive got three new songs.

These new songs disappointed me.
I can't remember too well, but I think I preferred Archers the most. Reminded me of Demo 9 at times.

[Triangle]

I think it is..

[lunchforthesky]

the demos arent really much like the songs. not like the city by a light divided demos which sounded pretty similar. but thats okay cause it means we got two brand new albums, well kind of.

[Triangle]

Yeah, I know what you mean.

The "Yeah" demo sounds completely different, in a really good way.

[lunchforthesky]

i thought the demos were pretty bad really. the new stuff too. would be okay for most bands. but most bands didnt write okay i believe you...

[chumpradio]

In my opinion, the demos were amazing. These new songs are growing on me, but I still prefer the 2 full lengths and the untitled demos.

[Untitled]

I thought there was only 2 good songs in the demos

[chumpradio]

I guess it's just because I really love acoustic music, so I liked all the acoustic demos, and then the electric demos were great too. I think I liked every single demo, the only reason I didn't really like the demo of Sowing Season too much was because of the terrible quality.

[Untitled]

I think the only demos i like where 2 and 6, im not sure, there on my old pc, so ive not listened in so long.

And you said these new songs are dissapointing.

Ive preached for a while, this album will be a huge letdown.

[lunchforthesky]

what ive heard so far of the album reminds me of the no seatbelt song off your favourite weapon.

[Dinosawesome]

I loved the demos, especially 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9.

[B]

I never even heard the demos.

I don't like dissapointment.

Archers is an amazing song. Jesus Christ is great in a different type of way, and Not The Sun seems good, but pretty generic.
I'm liking these new songs more after listening a few more times.

Jesus Christ is Meh at best.

Not The Sun is realy realy good, as is archers.

I prefer the quicker stuff though, not a fan of slow music usually.

/saw Brand New and Dashboard last night and realized the Brand New is good.

[Kif]

My MX is playing up, but I'm guessing you meant .rar file. Just google Winrar, download that and open the .rar file with it.

2 more songs have leaked I think, haven't bothered downloading them to check what they are. This might be another Jack's Mannequin, when nearly the whole album leaked from single tracks one after the other.

[The Sludge]

I saw Brand New/Dashboard last week sometime. Brand New's set was pretty amazing for how long they played, more emotion into his voice on cetain past songs. But still, 7 song set with a canceled Detroit show before isn't going to cut it. They played 3 new songs, Untitled 6 (lucas), Untitled 8 (sowing season), and one I can't name since I dont know it. Okay, I Believe You But My Tommy Gun Don't is gotta be the best played song live by the band, since they added a 4 minute solo constructed near the bridge, which included Jesse screaming into the pickups of his guitar. Fawsome.

Also, there is no Detroit show in sights until atleast in March, very very crappy.

Give them time, they'll sink in. I thought Limousine was a pretty weak song at first but 4 listens later and I love it.

[Pirate Satellite]

I like 'Limousine' and 'Jesus Christ' and 'Degausser.' The others just sound tired to me, especially 'Sowing Season.' It's just not as fresh as I expected. The demos were on to something.

I don't think I'm going to buy it, but I will definitely steal it and listen to it. It's not bad, it just sounds like the classic pitfall of a band trying to outdo themselves and losing sight of making great, honest music.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

I love all the new songs, I'm just enjoying any new material from Brand New, I know I will be happy with the new album.

The best music store I've been in is probably the JB HiFi up on the Gold Coast or the Virgin Megastore in Melbourne. Both are good but not huge :(

Imagine a store that size of a shopping mall devoted to pop-punk :drools:

[chumpradio]

Apparently Coca Cola is Untitled 7, and Jesse said that they didn't put it on the album because he thought it would blow up, and everyone would know about the song, and forget the band, kind of like with what happened to Bittersweet Symphony.

[Virus278]

sorry i have to ask but what single are u talking about? So, does anyone have the entire tracklisting for this album?

[chumpradio]

Coca Cola is a b-side on the special single of Sowing Season which you get if you pre-order the album.
And you should be able to easily get the tracklist anywhere on the internet that sells cds.

Awesome username. ;)

[lunchforthesky]

anyone else think that fight off your demons would of been a way better album name than the devil and god are raging inside of me.

[Dinosawesome]

They're both awesome names, but The Devil and God... has the class of being made up by a schizophrenic guy.

Either way, Untitled 7 was musical sex, I can't wait.

[The Sludge]

I thought Coca Cola was Untitled 3? I guess I don't know squat.

[Virus278]

I just finished completely tabbing out Jesus Christ on guitar. I like it and Sowing Season, but I'm not too crazy about Archers or Not the Sun. I'll probably end up buying the album the day it comes out.

Ah, thank you. So do u know which songs on the album these demos correspond to? I know untitled 7 is Coca Cola and untitled 8 is Sowing Season...are some of the demos not going to be used on the album?

[The Sludge]

Untitled 6 is Luca's (if I'm not mistaken)

I have Limosuine and Deguasser from this forum, where can I find the other mentioned songs like Jesus Christ at?

There's a couple torrents floating around with the new ones in i think. :smoke:

[Pirate Satellite]

I heard the whole thing just leaked last night, but I'm bad at the internet.

'Limousine' is, without a doubt, my favorite of the new songs. I hope there's more stuff like that on there.

[bowl of oranges]

Degausser has got to be my favourite.

I love it when they played it live and the finished product is more than up to sctrach.

[lunchforthesky]

i like archers and jesus christ best. but there all good

I think you're right, i've not had any luck finidng it anywhere yet though.

They've clamped down on it on the street team forum, banning anyone who talks about/asks for the leak.

I want, i want.

[lunchforthesky]

will post when i do

[Untitled]

Its out in like a week anyway isnt it?

[bowl of oranges]

i cant afford to buy cd's on a student loan

Heh, im at uni, and i dont have a loan!

:(

[lunchforthesky]

how did you manage that?

[Untitled]

Art foundation course.

its done at a university, but its technicaly a B-tech, so i dont get a loan, forcing me to live at home, which sucks.

But i progress onto the full degree next year, when i decided on what i want to do. Then im moving out.

Dunno where yet though.

[chumpradio]

Apparently it's leaked, but I'm not too sure yet.
I've been told it's on OiNK, but I'm not a member there, so I'm just checking AP.net to see what gets said, and hopefully it will be on isohunt soon enough.

[Kif]

Yeah it's leaked, just saw the .nfo file about it. I'm downloading it now, I'll re-upload and link when it's done.

EDIT: It's a transcode, which means it will be taken off OiNK very very shortly. There's like 200 peers already though, so there will be a few people to steal it off before then. I'm at 13%.

[bowl of oranges]

Yeah hook us up with that stuff!

I've been trying to get in the loop over on AP, but it's hectic.

[Kif]

54%, should be done in a couple of minutes.

I'm still not listening to this by the way.

[bowl of oranges]

I've been hooked on the 6 tracks since i got them 3 or so days ago.

Full on hooked. I have it on Pre-Order but i couldn't help myself.

Brand new are my favourite band ever.

[Kif]

Torrent 907950 (Brand New - The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me [2006/MP3/192] 81.09 MB [85028326 bytes]) uploaded by zomgzlol) was deleted by zomgzlol (Dead: 0 seeders, 0 leechers = 0 peers total)

Heh, what did I say?

[bowl of oranges]

Gutted, did it not finish, surely somebody must have got it and it'll be up somewhere else before long...

[Kif]

Got it, uploading it now. It includes the UK bonus track "Luca (Reprise)" too.

You, are the man.:thumb:

[Kif]

I listened a little to the starts and middle of a few songs, it seems legit. It's taking a while though, should be about 20 minutes.

[bowl of oranges]

It'll be worth the wait, what kinda filesize we talking here?

Can't say thankyou enough.

[macbethfan]

Kif, words cannot express how much this means to me. I've waited three years for this album and I can wait no more. This action is greatly appreciated.

[bowl of oranges]

What a first post eh ^^^

[macbethfan]

sorry, i got the limousine and degausser leaks off here last week when they were deleted everywhere else and i never properly thanked anybody for them. Anyways, i got a little excited when i saw this. This is the last site i've been to to look for the leak.

[Kif]

h**p://www.sendspace.com/file/kbfixx

Get it while it's hot.

[macbethfan]

thanks again. :)

[bowl of oranges]

why do i always get crappy speeds when i want somehing bad, just the way it is i guess.

thankyou kif.

[B]

kif always has the hook ups

[bowl of oranges]

33%, faster, faster.

[Magicaltroll]

Thank you Kif.

[bottlerocket]

Kif, what is it? The new Brand New demos or the new album?

EDIT: NM! Dling! :D

[Pirate Satellite]

Thanks Kif. I snagged this last night and I've listened to it a couple of times.

It's... good. Not great, but good. The sudden spooky crescendoes are irritating, and it sort of seems like they forgot what they were doing. I really wish the demos had just been higher quality so I could have lived off of those for longer. I really regret that they leaked, because it sounds like Brand New had to totally re-do everything as a result. It sounds unfinished.

[Triangle]

Can someone upload just Luca (Reprise) please? The bonus track..

[fghtffyrdmns]

It's pretty much untitled 06 in better quality. But I can do it later if nobody has. I have to clean my room for health inspections first.

[Triangle]

Dw bout it. I've got it now.

I'm not sure what I think about the new album. :-/

[bowl of oranges]

I love the new album, it's different but i think they pull it off.

I've probably listen to it about 5 times through, it's getting better and betterw ith each listen.

Then again i would have probably loved anything they put out.

[Dead Star]

Kif, what is it? The new Brand New demos or the new album?

EDIT: NM! Dling! :D

lol Mods arent meant to condone files being uploaded :p

[bottlerocket]

>_>

Shhh.

[Dead Star]

I just downloaded the album.

And so far the first two tracks are kicking my ***.

[Bad Blood]

i only just dl'd it.
