Does anyone have an actual photo of the 2016 Portland/Seattle gig poster?

I’m talking the tour with Modest Mouse. I’ve seen the jpg from Twin Home Prints as I’m sure we all have. But, I’ve never actually seen someone who owns one, hanging up or in a frame or anything. I’ve seen people claim to own them on forums but, never post anything. I was at that show and I don’t remember seeing it at the merch table. Is it even real?

Are posts w rumored comebacks being removed by mods?

I am an extreme skeptic when it comes to BN rumors but over the past month I have found two posts in this sub that I thought had intel that I’d consider as close to real as possible (not saying it was real but COULD have been legit) and now both of those posts are gone….my question is are they being removed by mods or is it possible the posters actually have a connection and are being asked to remove their posts?!? I remain a skeptic but still like to look in to these things

Halsey's new album has a song on it that reminded me of brand new

https://open.spotify.com/track/49b44acoxQBi5iRkej8gWK?si=sFOL2g59SwqsKN_Ygt_5aw

So I don't know if it's common knowledge in this sub or not but Halsey loves TDAG

My partner is really into Halsey and we're hanging out, kid free after several weeks and I just wanted to share that lol

The track is great and the album is been good thus far

It’s never going to stop.

Of course everyone has their own interpretation of this song. I’m so happy with it.

Why is it that when i play Brand New for people, they don’t like it?

This is something quite frustrating for me considering Brand New has been my favorite band for over a decade. Everything about them draws me in: the poetry, the guitars, the ambiguity, the way that Jesse can perfectly describe emotions that I feel on a daily basis but can never seem to pinpoint or place. This music really truly speaks to me and my soul, and is not only extremely cathartic to me but actually makes me weep on a consistent basis.

So why is it that when i try to put people onto them, they actively dislike it or seem indifferent? I’ve only had one person in my life that I showed them to that actually liked it and listened to them afterwards. And that sucks for me because I love expressing myself through sharing music with the people I love. I’m starting to think it’s a deep personal connection or attachment that only I will be able to experience with the level of awe and appreciation that I have.

Anyways thanks

What tour would you want a live album from?

I wish in their day, Brand New did a live album because seeing them was always an awesome experience. I loved the way they’d speed up Tommy gun, or the rawness of some other tracks. The way Jesse would sling his electric guitar around his back and play the acoustic for limousine. So many things. For me I would want the tour they did for the devil and god with Kevin Devine and Manchester Orchestra supporting. That was a killer tour, and would love to hear it that way.

“Who’s your favorite band/artist?”

Brand New.

Always. Hands down. Never a question.

There’s not a god damn thing else I can say. Even now, all these years later, fucking mind shivers.

And it’s only gotten better over the years. I aged with the albums. Nothing else makes me feel like this.

I know there must be a thousand posts like this. But I just saw that video of best friends doing a cover of “Waste.” And it just hit me so fucking hard.

This band is a standalone phenomenon.

I could spew some shit. Try to be poetic. But I don’t need to, right? You all know?

Perfect Shuffle

I thought you all would appreciate this. I had my Spotify on shuffle through all the BN albums...obviously. "In the Water" and then immediately afterwards, "Daisy". Perfection. That's how I know its going to be a good day, hope everyone else has one as well! :)

Can’t Listen to Limousine or You Won’t Know

Anyone else practically have to stop listening to Limousine and You Won’t Know?

Maybe it’s the point I’m at in my life, having four kids of my own, aged nine and under. Maybe I’m getting old and soft. Maybe it makes me reflect on the DUI that I got when I was younger, and how lucky I was that I was pulled over before I got into an accident and hurt someone. Maybe it makes me think of all the other stupid things I did when I was younger.

I can’t listen to them anymore without crying. Fricking 39 year old dude bawling while driving down the road. The songs just hit me.

The lines that kill me: “I saw our sad Messiah. He was bored and tired of my laments. Said, "I died for you one time, but never again".”

“On the day that I show up they'll be completely out of their forgiveness supplies.”

Thanks for the therapy session 😂. Time to wipe the snot off of my face.

What is your favorite album and why? Optional questions: how did you discover Brand New and what year was it?

I was 15, and I saw the video for "The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows" on Fuse, circa 2003 and the rest was history. I've had the pleasure of seeing them live twice in Vegas. Deja Entendu holds a very special place in my heart because of how I first discovered them, but the Devil and God are Raging Inside Me is a close second.

Is this a good pressing for a vinyl?

I know nothing about vinyls so this literally might just be the most common generic type of pressing but was just looking for some insight before I look into buying this. Thanks!

I forgot the rest of the scene is like this...

I really often forget that a lot of people in the "emo/post hc/pop punk" scene still perpetuate misinformation about Jesse/BN in an aggressive way.

After Panic was announced for WWWY next year, someone in I think r / pop punk said something about hoping for a BN reunion someday for WWWY. And WOW the comments got vile.

Equating Jesse to Ronnie Radke, calling him a serial rapist, saying people who support or like the band lack empathy, etc etc.

Sorry, I just needed to vent a bit. Everyone in this sub tends to be so chill that I truly forgot anyone out there thought this way about BN anymore. Just frustrating to see, because things like this really will prevent them from ever coming back (not that I think they would otherwise tbh :/ )

I need your opinion..

So, I've been wanting to get a tattoo of a hand holding a rope down my forearm in reference to "I don't want to let you go, but it hurts my hands to hold the rope." Meaning behind it is to let go of things that cause me harm (IE addictions, bad habits, and primarily to let go of emotions tied to my divorce). Just wondering what others think of this idea. I asked a coworker what he thought, and he said it gives major "I punch walls vibes."

Let me know, and if you have recommendations on how to spice it up let me know as well!
