Brand New歌手简介:
充满年轻活力气息、宣泄庞克强劲力道、挟带EMO声调表情，一组引起全美地下独立摇滚界瞩目的优质新团Brand New，也许对你而言是组全新乐团，但是，他们累积出精湛舞台演出，深具实力的表现，成熟扎实的乐曲编排，加上各团员功夫了得的乐器演奏，Brand New是你2007年首组不能错过的摇滚部队。
1990年底随着Post-Hardcore乐团The Rookie Lot解体，当中负责主唱/词曲创作核心/吉他/钢琴的Jesse Lacey、贝斯手Garrett Tierney与鼓手Brian Lane等团员，开始理出新的音乐方向，就在吉他手Vin Accardi加入后，Brand New正式成军，而团名灵感则是取自白人饶舌团队Beastie Boys 1995年EP《Aglio e Olio》中的同名作品。2001年于独立厂牌旗下发行首张专辑《Your Favorite Weapon》，赢得极佳回响，成为大型庞克音乐祭的座上嘉宾，与儿时玩伴Taking Back Sunday携手巡回演出。2003年的作品《Deja Entendu》，在毫无强力商业广告促销下，仍挺进全美流行专辑榜Top63位置，成为「Rate Your Music」音乐2003年度百大专辑第八名。
进入名厂Interscope Records旗下，筹备录制一年多的首张主流大厂专辑《The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me》，2006年先行在美国推出空降全美流行专辑榜Top31位置，2007年正式在全球问世。请到Mike Sapone (Taking Back Sunday、Public Enemy)与Brand New各团员共同监制。叙述录制这张新辑期间，丧失亲友伤痛的首支主攻曲＜Sowing Season (Yeah)＞，深沉缓调的培养情绪作前引，一声嘶吼划破原本寂静气流，带入濒临崩溃边缘将一切难过与无奈一倾而泄；原本选为第一波主打的＜Degausser＞，同样也是挟杂在落差极为明显EMO声音表情中，更堆迭出多重合声加强其力道，并是Jesse在演唱会现场最爱演唱的作品；回汤在低迷声频下的＜Limousine (MS Rebridge)＞，是首相当沉重感伤之作，叙述年仅七岁的Katie Flynn，参加完阿姨婚礼，于回家路上发生车祸当场惨死之不幸；以吉他轻弹拉开序幕的＜Luca＞，写出关于经典电影「教父」中Luca Brasi个性之小品；鼓噪的＜The Archers Bows Have Broken＞轻易的将听者高涨情绪再度拉至顶端。这张值得你拥有的大作，已成为各媒体争相推荐优选：AP五星满分、AMG四星半、Kerrang四星、 PopMatters(8/10)、Spin三星半、The Guardian与滚石音乐杂志三星…等好评保证。
Formed on Long Island, NY, Brand New appeared on the punk-pop scene in 2000. Consisting of drummer Brian Lane, vocalist/guitarist Jesse Lacey, bassist Garrett Tierney, and guitarist Vin Accardi, the band began making a name for itself on the local scene with a self-released four-song demo and shows with bands like Midtown and Glassjaw. In 2001, they issued their first record, Your Favorite Weapon, on Triple Crown, produced by friend Mike Sapone. Lacey's clever and cutting lyrics sprinkled the album, which produced the semi-hit "Jude Law and a Semester Abroad," and more touring with Taking Back Sunday and Finch followed. Proving to be more than just another punk-pop band, the group made something of a stylistic leap with Deja Entendu, a decidedly matured follow-up, recorded with Steve Haigler (Pixies, Blake Babies) and released in summer 2003 to rave reviews from critics and fans alike. Music videos for "The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows" and "Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades" found constant airplay on MTV, while earning Brand New slots with New Found Glory, Good Charlotte, Dashboard Confessional, and blink-182. By fall, as the band's notable underground following continued to grow in strides, they inked a deal with Dreamworks, which later led to them finding a home on Interscope following the former label's buyout. Touring eventually slowed to a halt as Brand New holed themselves up to work on their third full-length and major-label debut. After an extended quiet spell -- little to no interviews or updates came from the band's camp for quite some time -- Brand New finally emerged in summer 2006 for U.S. headlining dates, their first nationwide tour in three years. The highly anticipated The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me appeared in November 2006. Though significantly darker and less immediate than past efforts, the album was praised for its depth and maturity, and the band supported it on a soldout spring 2007 tour.
