2006 The Devil & God Are Raging Inside Me

For Christmas 2006 my older brother bought me Devil & God as a present. I’d never heard of Brand New before and at the time I was more into Indie music. I checked out a few of the tracks and thought it sounded rubbish, so I traded it in for an NME Essentials compilation. Like I said, I was a bit of an indie fag back then.

2007 Deja Entendu

Time went by and I forgot about Brand New until one day Sic Transit Gloria was played on TV and even though I wasn’t hugely impressed, I searched for it on YouTube later and watched it a few times until I was hooked. I downloaded the whole album and got really into it.

2008 Your Favourite Weapon

I felt kinda bad not paying for Deja Entendu so I went into HMV to buy a physical copy it and it came in a set with YFW. Again, fell in love with it. They quickly became my two most played albums and to this day I still rank them up there with the best I’ve ever heard.

2008 The Devil & God Are Raging Inside Me

So yeah, despite this being the first Brand New album I ever heard, it took me 2 years to finally buy it and listen to it properly. It wasn’t till around 2009-ish that I started to appreciate this album properly, but I now rank it as an equal to YFW & Deja.

2009 Daisy

This was the first Brand New album to come out while I was a fan and by September 2009, I was a HUGE fan. The girl I was seeing at the time bought it for me for my 19th Birthday, which was 3 days after the album came out. I was forbidden to listen to it on Spotify in those 3 days prior to my birthday although… I had found a torrent for it about a month before it came out, so the first time I listened to Daisy was on a beach in the South of France. Perfection. BUT, obviously I couldn’t tell my girlfriend I’d broken a promise and kinda lied to her. So as far as she’s aware, the first time I heard Daisy was on my 19th birthday while we participated in Birthday sex. To this day I still think listening to it for the first time on a beautiful beach in the South of France was better than listening to it during sex. Just sayin’

I’ve narrowed it down to:

Guernica
Mixtape.

Life is difficult sometimes. 

It has 41 tracks in it. Brand New have a 46 album tracks on Spotify.

I ended up chatting to this girl after I’d played and she recommended I check out a band called Brand New because my music sounded similar to theirs.

I lol’d.
