a new kind of sound or anything. And even some of the songs we play are songs that we wrote literally years ago, and are just now getting the chance to play. so yeah, i don't know. i like the name i guess. Plans for the future? Tours .. etc. well we've been touring pretty consistantly for the last few months or so. I don't think we plan on deviating from that schedule very much. Our record comes out the second week of
October and i know that's something we've all been waiting for rather anxiously. I'm also pretty sure that we have a split, 4 song cd coming out with Reggie and the Full Effect later this year. We all plan to keep growing our hair, accept me, i'm kinda torn. And there's other stuff but it's secret.

anything like the leaked demos." However, Lacey was not so upbeat when asked, saying, "For me it was different. It had me pretty down for a while. No one likes to show their creation in mid-process, and those songs weren't done. They were like blueprints. Just the plan, right? It put me in a state where I was under the impression that those songs had been wasted or something--that we had to go and write new things because those had been heard. Now, in retrospect, I want those songs to be on the album and many of them aren't, and I'm probably more to blame for that than anyone. This record already feels incomplete to me without those tracks and probably will forever."
361:"In one way it was kind of refreshing and motivating to know that people were still so interested and curious as to what we were up to in that period where we sort of disappeared. But I was also worried that it would derail the process because the four of us had created a pretty safe place where the only critics were ourselves. As much as we tried to shield ourselves from letting the leak affect us, it definitely did. There was a feeling of being robbed, after keeping everything so close to ourselves and then having it heard before it was completed."
401:"I get ideas from books, and also one of my best friend’s Kevin Devine. I asked him what he wanted to hear about, as I like to find out what he is writing about too. Some of the lyrics are simply direct responses to some of the questions he asked me. Others are from events. One song on the new album is written about a young girl who died in a horrific car accident, so there’s important stuff too."
333:"I don’t think that in our short recording career we have followed a path. It’s whatever come's out at that point. A song is never pushed into a direction. In ways, I think this is a record apart from the last record, but there are still certain aspects that they have in common. It’s always surprising to us, as we don’t know how it’s going to sound until we’ve written a few songs."
227:"I'm not saying we don't like people or anything," he hastily adds. "But we're definitely trying to pull away from other bands and do our own thing and hopefully it will work out and we hope that people will accept it for what it is and grow with us as far as us as individuals in a band as opposed to us in a band in a group of other bands."
422:"So far I've been trying to write with different instruments like a toy piano, a penny-whistle, stuff like that. I respect bands like U2 or Radiohead, they're doing something unique, not just, I play guitar, you play guitar and you play a 4/4 beat on the drums. That's not the way we're working it with this album."
101:
yeah.. none of us really know the real answer to that. it's actually a name that Brian and
Brandon came up with a while ago. I suppose it's somewhat in jest because nothing about the band is really that new. i mean the line-up (me, garrett, brian) isn't new. And we weren't trying to break ground with

because of this; "I'm getting depressed with all of the anxiety about the album and they say I write my best stuff when I'm in that state.

Off the bet i'd probably say
Lifetime, Foo Fighters, The Cars, The Smiths, there are a few more obscure ones that i'm probably forgetting. If you had a playlist from the stuff we listen to in the van it would probably go something like: Squeeze. Saves the Day. Modest Mouse. Handsome Boy Modeling

In
January 2006, nine untitled demos recorded for the album were leaked to the Internet. In response to the leak, Garrett Tierney stated "I would say it did it in a good way 'cause so many people were curious to hear what we have been doing--and for the most part, the record tracks don't sound
224:"It's good to a point, because it gets your name out there, and being labeled definitely helps," Brand New drummer Brian Lane tells Billboard.com. "But when you start grouping yourself with other bands and people it kind of loses its sense of individuality and we don't want to lose that.

Musically, its probably The Smiths, Morrissey, Sting, Elvis

Following their signing to
Interscope, Brand New stopped touring to work on their third album and major label debut. In this time, little to no interviews or updates came from the band. In 2004, Jesse Lacey told
