Updates To Get Aroused To

[Jared Kaufman]

It appears Jesse from Brand New (http://www.fightoffyourdemons.com) decided to update us on the happenings with the band; there's a little more than just random capitalized letters:

"august 4, 2005
hello. have you given up? please do not joke. lets update the updates. first off, while brand new are currently studio bound and aren't touring, there ARE other bands in the world who ARE playing which is what is great about music. now je$se and BRian MAY OR MAY NOT be going to one or all of the MenWomenAndChildren/NightmareOfYou northeast tourrrrrrrrring dates. We are not trying to be secretive. We are just coy. and we've been thinking and realizing that we have about 2,342 songs demoed/tracked/arranged/workedout ect.ect.ect. so there is a good chance that we may let some of that out in a pre-chosen media form in the near future BEFORE our actual record which has ten working titles. this isn't a promise but we're getting tired of being the only people who actually listen to us lately. Besides BrandNew I've/we've been listening to (in no order): Big Star, Joanna Newsom, stealing guitar sounds and feedback from Darklands by Jesus and Mary Chain, and Sigur Ros' Takk which I have waited patiently for but which someone FORCED on me illegally and which I will buy three copies of to make up for when it releases. but boy oh boy, do those gentle boys make some noises!?! the other night we tracked or wrote a real good song. our friend margaretttt was there and she was playing all my guitar parts on her violin and it turned out great and it made me turn the guitar down and turn her up. She's ind of a one girl band, i'm gonna make you look stupid with how many instruments i play, kind of girl. Kevin and Eric were around that night as well so it was a stands out in your memory im thankful to God that we have friends type of night. We hope things are going well. Lately when mike's basemtn starts to close in on us we've been hanging around OFFbEat. Come by and say hello! and show us how many decks you can ollie or how well you can dance. say "later". later. jese."

[Throwback]

I think he was really high when he wrote this.

[Anton Djamoos]

Finally...something.

[Greg Dona]

i check that site incessantly. i think i spelled that wrong. but i check it like every third day... ish.

[masthmcpb]

haha way to make his point

[IamCoolest]

brand new should tour w/ the ataris it sounds like...

[Augustine Rock]

Haha, you know, I wouldn't put it past these guys to have most of the album already completed...

[bgkersey]

brand new could update every hour and i couldn't get sick of it.

(waits for the brand new bashing to start)

[UrOwNdISaStR180]

I really honestly am starting to think I'm not going to like this record... Which depresses me :(

[em0_stars]

"we are just coy"

heh heh heh

[icicles]

oh my...

[Soco Lime]

this isn't a promise but we're getting tired of being the only people who actually listen to us lately
that was kind of funny...

im excited, it seems they are a lot further along then i thought - i hope any extras get released as b-sides in some form.

[dekdog11]

im a huge brand new fan but i think this is taking kind of a long time...it kinda reminds me of what happened with finch (well finch released awful demos than an awful cd 3 years after WIITB), but i mean its been over 2 years since deja was released and they havent toured in south florida since november of 2003...which is a dam long time considering there was a time they used to come here every 3 months

just putting my 2 cents in, im psyched for the album but i dont know how much longer i can wait

[elemenohpe]

joanna newsome is pretty cool. nice of them to mention her.

[cheeruptheEmo]

yay

[strobelite33]

I think he was really high when he wrote this.

Don't get me wrong...I like Brand New A LOT, but do you ever get the feeling the band thinks they're just a little more important and more popular than they really are?

[smallbutfeisty]

i'm hoping this new brand new cd lives up to everyone's expectations, but i'm feeling like it isn't going to...

[bobbob]

im a huge brand new fan but i think this is taking kind of a long time...it kinda reminds me of what happened with finch (well finch released awful demos than an awful cd 3 years after WIITB), but i mean its been over 2 years since deja was released and they havent toured in south florida since november of 2003...which is a dam long time considering there was a time they used to come here every 3 months
Finch released awful demos, then a great CD 3 years after WIITB. It isn't the same as the first album, and as soon as you ignore that it becomes very good, but it seems like the "scene" singleminded opinion hates Finch now because they tried something different.

It's been 2 years since Deja Entendu was released. Before that, it was 2 years with nothing after Your Favourite Weapon. I love both CDs equally. I wouldn't expect another Deja Entendu, as no doubt you'll be very disappointed. There's no point a band making the same CD twice.

[LPMagic]

and we've been thinking and realizing that we have about 2,342 songs demoed/tracked/arranged/workedout ect.ect.ect. so there is a good chance that we may let some of that out in a pre-chosen media form in the near future BEFORE our actual record which has ten working titles. this isn't a promise but we're getting tired of being the only people who actually listen to us lately.
Here's the 3 most important points for me, jumbled in between Jesse's drunk typing:

1. They have a lot of demos.

2. They might release a few in "pre-chosen" media form (Purevolume? MySpace? Their website?).

3. The new album has 10 working titles. (I hope to God that this album ends up with more than 10 tracks considering all the hype)

They're so c-c-c-c-controversial.

- Jeff

[Soco Lime]

i'm hoping this new brand new cd lives up to everyone's expectations, but i'm feeling like it isn't going to...
I feel like without having heard ANYTHING yet, we really can't judge. Let's wait until they release at least something...

Also, I'm not expecting another Deja or even a Deja-caliber album. That could have been the best work they will ever make. It just sucks that they set this precedent and if they don't reach it a lot of people are going to turn their backs on them.

I'll be happy with anything even relatively close...

[Spicoli hey bud]

It's almost as if he's trying to send subliminal messages with that update

[CIMA]

I've been listening to Deja today.

I cant wait for new Brand New.

[themongoose]

It all means that their is no single yet. Hence, we wait.

[PassedOut]

Oh BrandNew...they just love to keep us hanging

[pinkerton]

i still don't get the capital letters!

[davedesloover18]

I think he was really high when he wrote this.
probably.
hahaha a-fucking-greed....
your whole signature is great.

Yup. I have a feeling this band would release stuff on their own, not purevolume/myspace. Althought he mentioned that right along with the fact they were gonna be at shows...a few acoustic perfomances perhaps? We'll see.

[Sureshot182]

Don't get me wrong...I like Brand New A LOT, but do you ever get the feeling the band thinks they're just a little more important and more popular than they really are?
jesse lacey can have an attitude, he is a genius.

[when 4ever ends]

looks like there gettting things done. this is a good sign.

[thetunks]

Don't get me wrong...I like Brand New A LOT, but do you ever get the feeling the band thinks they're just a little more important and more popular than they really are?

I think you hit the nail on the head.....I agree 100%. Great band but theyre not the beatles yet.

Finch's new cd is better than WIITB, it's alot more original

those were all the important things i noticed along with one other:

they might show up at one of the nightmare of you shows on the east coast (show up could either mean just be there or maybe make a suprise set of a couple of songs)

[teebs41]

you never really can be sure of anything when it comes to brand new...
but all we can do is hope for the best

[RockVocalPower]

3. The new album has 10 working titles. (I hope to God that this album ends up with more than 10 tracks considering all the hype)

Pretty sure he means the album has ten titles that may work. They haven't picked one yet.

[thedood]

Weird as I am reading this someone requested sic transit gloria on 102.1 the edge all request nooner here in toronto...weird stuff guys.

[WeDreamOfDays]

If this album is Sigur Ros inspired, I'll be totally in love. Regardless I'll probably be totally in love because it's Brand New. Seriously, I don't think I can fathom waiting much longer.

[dekdog11]

Finch released awful demos, then a great CD 3 years after WIITB. It isn't the same as the first album, and as soon as you ignore that it becomes very good, but it seems like the "scene" singleminded opinion hates Finch now because they tried something different.

Yea I think its a little different since they are so big now it is expected they come out with a cd quicker than the time between YFW and Deja. I don't really like Finch's cd thats just my opinion, and I don't hate Finch because they tried something different, I just don't like the cd.

Finch's new cd is better than WIITB, it's alot more original

To each his own, just doesn't really hit me.

oh, and chappelle's show is over

Ahh, the album title. I misinterpreted that, thanks.

[Ruggiero2oo8]

happy to hear something

[jaimej]

Oh Mr. Lacey, always keeping us on our toes...

[chokeychicken]

maybe i should attend the nightmare of you show in richmond, in that case.

[crit]

They're so c-c-c-c-controversial.
Damn, you beat me to it.

[jaimej]

maybe i should attend the nightmare of you show in richmond, in that case.
I think they were implying more along the lines of this show:
Nightmare of You - Record Release Party + Special Guests
The Downtown, Farmingdale, NY
Wed, Sep 14, 2005 07:00 PM

[starcrossdlovex]

we've been thinking and realizing that we have about 2,342 songs demoed/tracked/arranged/workedout ect.ect.ect.
I say they just release one that they know isn't going on the albummm.
I'm too impatient for this.

They sure are good at building anticipation.
But, Jesse was wrong. The only people that still listen to Brand New anymore are Brand New, & myself =]

[resUrectMe617]

wow i really need to go to that show on saturday then.

[pinkerton]

fuck brand new. chappelle's show is over. OVER.

[SLADE775]

I'm officially SICKOFTHESCENE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<


motherfuckers.........




icing. on. the. cake.

fuck brand new. chappelle's show is over. OVER.


whaaaaat?

no.

[jaimej]

wow i really need to go to that show on saturday then.
Heck yes. I'm most likely driving down for it.

[pinkerton]

R.I.P. chappelle's show.

[FeynmanWannabe]

Man, I can't get enough of Mr. Lacey's drunk/high rambling. Even if they're not always very informative, they are consistently amusing. In other news, has anyone else been breaking out Deja Entendu more than they have been in recent months? I sure have and hot damn do I love that cd. I loved how all the song subjects were so different from one another. I don't think I've heard a song on the subject of Sic Transit Gloria; I love the irony in Maradona of a band with pop-punk leanings having a song about taking advantage of a girl rather than the typical vice-versa; The whole back and forth underdog/ego subject seen in Tommy Gun. Not to mention that the lyrics were extremely well-written imo and the tunes themselves were great. :wow: Mostly, I just hope that they can come up with subjects that are equally (or nearly) as interesting, but I can definitely hold out until they're satisfied with their work. They're the artists, after all.

PS: They're SO right about Joanna Newsom. What are you still doing not listening to her? Go!

PPS: What does "I Will Play the Game Beneath the Spin Light" mean? Not necessarily in reference to the song obviously. Thanks.

O i will so be there, seeing NOY is enough of a draw, but a possible appearance by brand new well... :bigsmile:

Intresting to see when they release some demos.

[pinkerton]

i still don't have deja. i just picked up your favorite weapon like, 2 weeks ago. i'm going to go pick up deja right now.

[kylekillspeople]

the wait for me isnt so bad, because i've been waiting for a new glassjaw record alot longer than brand new, im just really really interested to see what kind of direction they go in.

[englishgothboy]

that was kind of funny...

im excited, it seems they are a lot further along then i thought - i hope any extras get released as b-sides in some form.


jesus how narrow is your ipod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ColourandShape]

Yeah Chappelle's show is completely done. Charlie Murphy was qouted earlier saying its over.....I just don't get it. They had half of season 3 taped, why not just finish it? And is Comedy Central going to void that huge ass contract they gave Dave? This sucks, that show saved cable TV.

yeah. i hate dave chappelle. what a pussy. why can't he be the man like he usually does

[I.O]

whos going to the nj MWC show saturday?

[FeynmanWannabe]

i still don't have deja. i just picked up your favorite weapon like, 2 weeks ago. i'm going to go pick up deja right now. Wow, who murdered your scene points? You had 10 like two seconds ago. Good job on getting around to picking up Deja. :)

Edit: Oh, was it for your Chappelle comment? Nevermind.

[pinkerton]

i just registered like 5 minutes ago, wtf are scene points.

[Soco Lime]

jesus how narrow is your ipod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i dont throw just anything on it...i really have to LOVE it for it to go on, though I am still missing a few things I haven't gotten around to putting on yet (i.e. Queen, Scorpions)

[BrandNizzle]

Don't get me wrong...I like Brand New A LOT, but do you ever get the feeling the band thinks they're just a little more important and more popular than they really are?


ever notice who always stirs up the most hype, gets the most replies, and causes the most controversy on this site and many others like it? not trying to be a smartass, i just think that their 'we're pretty damn popular' attitude is justified....and will be even more justified now that they're releasing an album on a major.

back on topic, this is actually the most informative news update they've had in awhile. can't wait to hear a demo, but i won't have any expectations.

[yourbodylaycold]

brand new will never top your favorite weapon.

[pinkerton]

theyve released 2 albums. how can you say that.


WTF ARE SCENE POINTS.

[zbrmike79]

ooo.. from the looks of that Kevin Devine might be featured somewhere on the record... and that would be excellent.. unless he was just chilling out there.. and Jesse just wanted to drop his name....

They did; Deja Entendu. See - It's all opinion.

[tambo41187]

brand new will never top your favorite weapon.

Hm they actualy did, they released a record um about two years ago that blew that record away ;)

i dont even compare Deja and YFW, they are just to diffrent. Both are good, but Deja was outstanding.

[pinkerton]

me and my flawless sense of style have an okay amount of scene points for 14 posts.

the only songs i've heard of deja are quiet things and sic transity gloria

ratings:

quiet things: 8.5/10
sic transit gloria: 11.5/10

[woobo]

Brand New is going to blow everyones minds...just wish they could pick up the pace.We all shouldn't be shocked their not touring-after having listened to I Will Play My Game Beneath The Spin Light. Just listen to the song after that if you're unsure of Jesse being cocky. I'd say he has the right to be. These guys are talented

[kylekillspeople]

Hm they actualy did, they released a record um about two years ago that blew that record away ;)

i dont even compare Deja and YFW, they are just to diffrent. Both are good, but Deja was outstanding.

i definitely agree with you there. both albums are among my all time favorites for completely different reasons. your favorite weapon for the teen angst-iness and deja because the song writing, especially on songs like play crack the sky, was an absolute quantum leap for the band.

[FourStarters]

I've got a feeling these boys have something up their thrift store sleeves.

[A picasso blue]

I think he was really high when he wrote this.

or just full of himself. or both

[Cato11087]

Just because Jesse is confident in himself, doesn't mean he's full of himself...I guess its all about how you precieve things.

[jaimej]

ooo.. from the looks of that Kevin Devine might be featured somewhere on the record... and that would be excellent.. unless he was just chilling out there.. and Jesse just wanted to drop his name....
Kevin Devine is a good friend of Jesse/Brand New. They've toured together before.

This sucks, that show saved cable TV.
honestly, I think Reno's the best show on cable. and the last few episodes have been better than chapelle's show would have been, i do believe. the actors on Reno are just too damn good.

no, todd weinstock said they might be out to see at least a few shows on the tour. and they weren't at last nights providence show which means they are still home.

[CourtesyRock]

was anyone at the NOY show last night in Providence?

[yufli]

i am a huge brand new fan
(i spray painted 'brand new' on my tshirt at this year's warped)

but i am also getting this unhealthy feeling that i may not like the new sound of my favourite band, which saddens the crap out of me.

i have the feeling that they are getting somewhere with it, but it is simply taking too long and i am getting almost worried.

anyways, i hope i'm wrong and i hope this album blows me away.
they better release _something_ soon to calm us down.

-my $0.02

[AlwaysPunkin45]

Finally...something.
i'm pretty sure i'm going to hate the next album they put out.

[chariot3434]

i think they should just release all 2342 songs that they are messing with....i would probably like 90 percent of them.

[Manbotisdead]

I really honestly am starting to think I'm not going to like this record... Which depresses me :(
not me, I am not a tremendous brand new fan.

Hopefully he's taking vocal tips from Joanna Newsom. ;)

The fact that he's listening to her and Takk is wonderful. Takk is easily one of the best albums of the year (no surprise) and everyone should know that Joanna fucking rules.

Suggestion noted. I don't see how it lacks in sense and point departments...I simply said that Brand New is one of the most hyped bands around, and everyone knows who they are, and most everyone is really looking forward to listening to the new album, either to rip on it or fall in love with it. This causes me to believe that their attitude towards their popularity is justified, judging by fact. And the fact that they're releasing an album on a major soon means they'll be even more popular.

I'd never argue their popularity...I just don't think that they're as popular as they think. Attention on AP.net isn't the most difficult thing to achieve, especially in the summer when the boredom leads people to respond to, well, most anything. Also, even if you are popular, is it ever really OK to be arrogant about it?

I'm excited for their new record though I don't think releasing it on a major really means they'll become more popular. It depends on whether the person/people at your label in charge of your marketing backs the record and sees it as viable and pushes it. There are plenty of bands that released albums on majors that actually lose popularity.

I actually should have mentioned the two Alternative Press covers within one year of each other, and the noteriety in major magazines as well. I guess it's all in how you perceive it. Oh well, let's just both agree on how we are eager to hear the new stuff. :afro:

Eh, the mention of a couple Alternative Press covers wouldn't have made a difference...

Asking a general music fan if they know who Brand New is usually gets me a couple blinks, a head tilt, then a "No.." Asking them if they know Dashboard, AFI or MCR gets me a "Yes", as well as Saves the Day and Thrice. But Brand New often is followed by "Brand New What?"

And yes, very eager for the new stuff.

the men women and children tour is goin thru danbury ct on wednesday the 10th. i was gonna pass on it but now i may have to check this out. a special set would be hot.
