I have a doomsday prepper dad, my mom who is in poverty. Both claim theyre god loving Christians but probably couldnt tell you the last time theyve been to church. Both Qanon. They're divorced. My brother, who is gay is my best friend.

When he came out, my parents although divorced said - "we need to get your testosterone checked" and i almost fist fought them.

This song is special to me because my dad is the dad written about to a T in this song. All he cares about is his guns, his bunker, may as denied he has a gay son.

Its the most spiritual song I've ever heard.

Basically, he came off as disappointed and won't let my brother in what he's been prepping for years because he would never be entered in his fictional kingdom. I don't know if thats the truth, but it comes off as it to me. I know my dad tries to love my brother, though.

It makes me cry when I listen to it because It's almost my life. I will always choose my brother over anyone.

This is a song based on fake family which I have. We haven't spent holidays together in probably a decade. Me and my brother vs. The world.

Now let us go to the wolves because we both are wandering astray.

ABOMINATION!

1. For a band who was constantly reinventing themselves and evolving their sound, I'd argue this is their most unique and "doesn't sound like the rest of their catalogue" song. Would love to hear if you guys agree/disagree!

2. Does anyone know any details/stories behind this song and its recording? I know it was originally part of the leaked demos. Did Jesse write that piano riff? Or was it Derrick Sherman?

Hey guys I ordered a YFW tee on November 16th and they still haven’t shipped it yet. Does any of you guys have experienced the same issue?

Glad I decided to stop by the record store today. First Brand New record after getting into them a month ago. Got it used in near mint condition for next to nothing. Only a few more to go…

pretty exciting! i’ll definitely be getting a copy, first brand new ‘new’ release in a minute! what are you expecting to be on there? i’ll drop the link in the comments for the website

And it’s printed on a Gilden. Jojobeans22 you awesome. This is the 2nd shirt I’ve gotten off this sub, the first one was the Water in my lungs one. Honestly the fan merch is better than the official. It’s like when you goto a big concert and the parking lot shirts are better than the events.

i was listening to degausser acoustic version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvXPmtkojnw

at 3:03, you can hear jesse say "i feel asleep in the alkaline." i always thought it was incline? never seen a version of lyrics mention that before. can anyone draw meaning from that?

I used to scrapbook my concert tickets, setlists and the local magazines would have little posters. Wish I kept it up over the years, but digital tix, etc ruined.

Figured you guys would appreciate the prices at minimum.

I guess you could say I was going through some things.

Age and wear are getting to my last concert ter and I want another 1 or 2, but not sure what the best place to order from is.

Any help/ideas are lovely!

So, a while back, I was lurking here as usual and saw a post about that Deja Entendu beer from the Rustic Brewing Company. You know the one fancy can, awesome design, 100% impossible to get in Brazil unless you're ready to sell your kidneys for shipping and import taxes. I commented something like: "Man, I wish I could import just one of these cans to Brazil, but the costs would probably bankrupt me."

To my surprise, u/Artistic_Chocolate82 replied with a DM like, “Hey, if you’re okay with just the label, I’d be happy to send it in an envelope.” I was floored. Like, of course I want it!

Fast-forward: the envelope is sent, and I’m expecting it to take forever, because, you know, Brazilian customs. But nope! ONE WEEK later, it shows up at my door, perfectly intact and looking like it travelled first-class the whole way. I was honestly more impressed by its speed than half the things I order locally. The label is in perfect condition, looking even cooler in person. Now, I’m officially on a mission to find a can that matches the vibe so I can stick the label on it and add it to my shelf.

Brand New fans, we may be emotionally damaged by lyrics about existential dread, but damn, we’re also weirdly wholesome and global. Thanks again, u/Artistic_Chocolate82, for proving that the internet can sometimes be a decent place. <3

Does anyone remember this band?

Show me your YFW tattoos!

This song does something that no other Brand New song does. It's like it has a magical hold over me or some shit.

Wife told me my job was to entertain the dogs while she was downstairs cooking with the MIL + SIL… pretty sure this counts

I will lie awake And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you Let you fall for every empty word I say

Was first in line the night before record store day 2015 at rough trade in brooklyn. slept on the sidewalk just to grab my copy of deja entendu. when the doors opened immediately grabbed my copy. kept it sealed while i debated opening it. a few weeks later they announced a regular version so i picked up a listening copy at urban outfitters and my RSD version remains sealed.

Found this when I was scrolling their albums

I saw BN in Poughkeepsie New York. This was probably 2015. Jesse played a song and I forget the name, and even how it went. I want to say he sang about a brother or something. I heard it once or twice before I saw it live but it was a relatively new song. It isn’t on any of the albums either. I feel like an idiot.
