About Brand New

Prior to the formation of Brand New, frontman Jesse Lacey was a founding member of Taking Back Sunday, but he left the group before it had released any material. ∙ Emerging from Long Island’s crowded punk and emo scene, Brand New first came together in 2000, following the split of post-hardcore band The Rookie Lot. ∙ The band’s 2003 breakthrough album, Deja Entendu, was largely written by Lacey on an acoustic guitar in his bedroom. ∙ Following the success of Deja Entendu, Brand New were the subject of a major-label bidding war and eventually signed with Dreamworks. ∙ In 2015, they released Leaked Demos 2006, a collection of unfinished tracks from their The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me sessions that had previously been posted online without their permission. ∙ Beginning with Deja Entendu, every Brand New album has made the Billboard 200 chart, but 2017’s Science Fiction marked the first time the group reached No.1.
