Brand new is a damn good band with possibly the best lyrics I’ve ever heard. It’s hard to describe the
music without you guys having heard it but ill try. The words are cleverly and subtly delivered. The ‘Deja Entendu’ album is ‘an album of such breathtaking honesty and dripping with delicate song writing’ (the Fly) Its kinda hard to pigeonhole this band as a specific type of
music except damn good!!!!! The
music is a kinda rock but the songs build up to such a crescendo that they really gets to you and you can just get it and understand it.
Jesse Lacey (singer
dude) sings in such a powerful way on some tracks that you get the message and it stirs some emotions in you, and on others he sings so quietly and in such a heartfelt way that it touches you. He really goes for it and his voice gets really husky and
cracked with the feeling he pours into the songs. If the emotion of the song calls for a scream he can deliver it.
The
music itself is cleverly done and yet with a specific ‘Brand New’ style, with
key chords and patterns, but each song is pretty much
unique with the kinda feel it gives.
To be honest with you, I’m not going to go on about how I ‘totally relate to the guys in the band’ because I don’t know them and to say that is
sad, but I think this band is good, as their
music is the kinda thing I feel sometimes and with I could say.
