BEATCRAVE FAV: Brand New

While Brand New is not an up and coming band (in fact, they’re pretty well established), they have always been a very prolific indie-rock band. They’ve been around since 2000, but have not broken into the mainstream music genre despite heavy rotation on Fuse and MTV.

In the past, Brand New has toured with Incubus, Thrice, Taking Back Sunday, and Finch. Their music focuses mainly on finding oneself amidst the adversities of life, and being able to recuperate after losing someone. Brand New’s music would probably fall under what many people call “emo”, but what is emo if it doesn’t stand for emotional? All music comes with emotion, and Brand New is the epitome of expression in its finest form.
