New York, United States (2000 – present)

Brand New is a rock band from Long Island, New York, and consists of lead vocalist, guitarist, and lyricist Jesse Lacey, guitarist Vincent Accardi, bass guitarist Garrett Tierney and drummer Brian Lane. Most recently Derrick Sherman joined the band on tour in 2006. The band was formed in 2000 in Merrick, New York and partly consists of former members of the band The Rookie Lot and Taking Back Sunday. Brand New has toured with many bands including Thrice, Beneath the Sun, Crime in Stereo, and mewithoutYou. The band has released three studio albums so far - Your Favorite Weapon (2001), Deja Entendu (2003), and The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me (2006). On February 12, 2007, in an interview with BBC Manchester, Lacey stated that the band plans to release another album.

They initially had a pop-punk sound, with stirring lyrics, and an unusually intricate sound for a band of this genre. Their second album showed a matured lyrical direction and a departure from their earlier pop-punk sound. Their current sound has more in common with indie-emo bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate and Straylight Run. They became part of the Long Island, New York indie/hardcore scene with the likes of The Movielife, From Autumn to Ashes, Glassjaw, and Taking Back Sunday, whom they are supposedly close friends with, but have had their share of misunderstandings. They have released three full-length albums and two EPs.

They're so good, it's almost unbelievable that they originated two towns away from where I live now.

They are going to be a long standing band with many more great things to come from them in the future. They are going to be a "The Smiths"-type of band. Very influential and well loved and respected by the musical community.

SpikedThrough I got to disagree with you, because Deja Entendu is just pure amazingness. This isn't even my kind of music, but I love Deja Entendu. The rest is good, but no Deja Entendu

Brand New is the best example of musical progression (as of late, at least). They have literally gotten better and better with each album--something almost every band strives for but only a handful achieve. "The Devil and God.." was the best album of 2006, hands down.

This is probably the only band that I can't discern a #1 favorite song. They are sooo many perfect ones from all the different albums.

McSara- I didn't say Lacey sounds like Oberst. I just said he seems to be getting closer to that type of sound. Kind of raw, waivery sound.. Either way, Brand New > Bright Eyes
