After Dark Entertainment (a booking company/show promoter from Buffalo, NY) seems to be teasing at Brand New playing a show or possibly touring. Or maybe they just want to know what time they should play chess. Your guess is as good as mine.

Brian and Drew from Shone are on this week's Marvel podcast. Apparently there's a mention of Brand New toward the end, but I'm still listening to find it.

After the post last night that got everyone talking about Brand New, I made a quip on Twitter about this band getting a reaction unlike any I've ever seen on our website. This led to a response asking if Brand New were more open and released information more frequently to everyone -- would the same reaction occur?

I say no.

I love this band with an almost #cutforbieber mentality; however, I do think that the secrecy and general lack of information surrounding them adds to the furor.

Frankly, it’s a lot easier to be a nut or to not answer to your decisions. It’s much easier to just do...

Jesse Lacey did an interview in Canada the other day about Brand New's future and stated that the band wants to release material next year.

From The Interview

We have this buzzing in us that we want to do things and I hope that we can see those things through," he says. "I think people expect more from us and I think we expect more from us.
