About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Brand New is bitter about ex-girlfriends. Just how bitter? The lyrics to just about any song on their debut will give you an inkling, especially "Seventy Times 7," where they grieve: "Have another drink and drive yourself home/I hope there's ice on all the roads/And you can think of me when you forget your seat belt and again when your head goes through the windshield." Aside from all the excessive post-breakup angst, Brand New's emotive pop-punk holds up nicely among the big list of its contemporaries. There are several upbeat anthems with three-part harmonies, though a few ballads break up the high energy. They pay respect to post-punk in "Mix Tape," where they mention the Smiths, while cribbing from the Cure's "Close to Me" in "Logan to Government Center." The repeating refrain of "This isn't high school" in "Last Chance to Lose Your Keys" at least acknowledges that they've grown up, although in the closing singalong "Soco Amaretto Lime" they declare, "I'm gonna stay 18 forever." You'll probably feel 18 listening to this. Kenyon Hopkin, All Music Guide

pop punk perfection :)by kateclementine

April 24, 2009: i am not a big fan of the entire pop punk genre. bands like blink 182, green day, taking back sunday... all the pop punk bands through generations are incredibly dissapointing and monotonous. not brand new. brand new has put out what is without a shadow of a doubt in my mind the best pop punk cd out there. the lyrics are awesome and the instrumentals are so catchy and infections that i dare you to not get one of these songs stuck in your head. seventy times seven is probably the stand out track, (written about the lead singer of taking back sunday after he made out with jesse's girlfriend at a party), and is one of my very favorite songs to be angry to. everyone has SOMEONE to direct this song at.

SoCo amaretto lime is probably my favorite track on the cd. it's an ode to being young, drunk, and happy. it's just a happy, feel good track that is sure to put you in a good mood and either have you happy in the moment, or reminiscing about good times with good friends.

August 21, 2006: Because that's what its all about. If for some reason you are given the impression that Brand New is your run-of-the-mill razorblade boy band, I genuinely urge you to think again. While amongst young love ramblings Brand New does spit out particularly common fightin' words ("and you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt and again when your head goes through the windshield"), they have the wherewithall to turn around in the exact same track and suck your words of disapproval right from your lips ("'Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish... I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids.") It's a solid way to get the hate out of your system without being so blunt. Brand New plays with metaphors and images so precisely, and its going to reshape the way you're feeling, be it a cheery or sullen mood you happen to be in. It's clean enough for you to slip on your shiny shoes but rough enough for you to watch yourself go a little crazy. Butchers knife, revolver, or even just a date-use tazer... Grab your weapons, kids. It's gonna be a good time.
