Brand New to disband in 2018?

2016-06-02 by judasgoat | 92 Comments
Last year at a Brand New concert in Tennessee, Jesse Lacey strongly hinted that the band's breakup is impending. At 4:22 in the video below, Lacey says: "Anyway, I want to tell you here right now that this isn't gonna last much longer, but it's been so special for so long, and for as long as it does last, we're so grateful to all you being here."



And now, Brand New have released new shirt designs that all but confirm that the band will split up in a couple of years. Two of the shirt designs read: Brand New, 2000-2018.

The shirts can be viewed and purchased here: http://brandnew.merchdirect.com/

The band is expected to deliver a new album, likely this year.

I don't know, I don't follow Brand New. I didn't give much of a shit about them until people started flipping out over their new material recently.

interesting. many bands plan their breakups tbh, just not this far in advance and they usually don't announce it to the public until their last tour or something. Brand New has always been frustrating/cryptic about albums and what not though so this isn't a surprise. I kinda figured this album would be their last anyways.

Who the fuck announces their break up two years in advance? At least release the album and then announce a farewell tour. I don't particularly care about this though since the new singles are horrendous and seeing them live is like watching paint dry.

Announce the break up after all of that or at least have done something worthwhile in the last 5 years to warrant announcing it right now when their fans have been patiently waiting for new material that had been promised to them.

i made a list about this at one point. this is an album that a lot of people like, which means that anyone who didn't particulary like the album right from the start, freakin can't escape it. making them so tired of the album by now.

I think we should complain about you questioning why people care about a pre-announced disbandment when you're the one commenting in a thread dedicated to said pre-announcement.

Planning a breakup is weird, kinda like saying "okay honey, we'll get a divorce in three years". I'm guessing it's not a nasty breakup or anything, but still weird.
