Hold onto your butts.
Brand New has brand new music for the first time since "Mene," which came out in 2015.
If you're unfamiliar with Brand New, you soon will be. We'll remedy that down the line, but for the fans that know, we want to talk about their new single "I Am a Nightmare" and how it's a lot more upbeat than its name, or their discography as a whole, suggests.
And of course it comes in advance of a (persistently) rumored new LP.
Again, for the people who don't know Brand New (Long Island natives that have consistently put out great indie, sadbastardcore for the past decade), why do you care?
Because they're throwing down at Madison Square Garden July 14th. And it's going to be lit.
The band will be in New York City with Modest Mouse at MSG as part of their co-headlining US tour following Brand New's Canadian tour throughout June.
Maybe by then we'll have a new album?
Produced by Brand New and long time collaborator Mike Sapone, "I Am A Nightmare" was mixed by Vince Ratti and is one of the tracks of the new, still untitled album.
The single, released via the band's own Procrastinate! Music Traitors will be available on all Digital Service Providers this week and it can be pre-ordered on 12'' vinyl, too.
Grab Tickets here for Brand New's concert with Modest Mouse at MSG on July 14th.
For the people still unaccustomed to Brand New, look out. Help is on the way. In the form of things. For people. Soon.
