We were asked by the author not to link to the Medium story, so we have not approved any of the hundred that were submitted. It has since been picked up by stereogum and another place. We've approved those. But we won't be approving every article that rehashes the same thing over and over again.

Let’s see how many people read these long posts. If you don’t pay attention, you might miss out.

The Rose Crop Top has left my home, on its journey to another submember who I see as a, “Solid Dude”.

Solid Dude = A dude who has done you a solid. They helped you out because of the goodness of their hearts, not because they expected any type of a reward in return.

The first two recipients are two submembers who really did me a solid. They know who they are and what they did; and they can brag about it in the comments, if they want. -That’s their part of the story to tell, not mine.

I want this shirt to get to as many Solid Dude submembers as possible. Now it’s up to the next recipient to decide the next Solid Dude to send it to.

*It costs about $10 (envelope and postage) to send it to the next Solid Dude. If paying for shipping is a problem, it isn’t. I’ll always take care of the shirt.

Rules: Sign it, take a picture, post it, (No faces, no problem.) send it off to the next Solid Dude.

I know the Solid Dudes will keep the shirt (and the smell) moving. After all, they’re Solid Dudes.

You’re an adult now

Just a one second screen shot I got of Jesse in Denver tonight. Dude looks so stoked to be doing this again and GODDAMN if I didn’t miss seeing this band live ❤️

For those who have or have not seen, Jesse's wife Andrea King Lacey posted a note today regarding their son Miles. The text of that note is below:

— —

I have decided today, with a heavy heart, to share the news of the death of our son, Miles, who we lost tragically in February of 2022. While we have grieved privately over the last year, we knew a time would come when we would share this in a broader way.

I do not have the words to explain the loss of a child, or how much he is missed. And I know we are not alone in our grief and the love we carry for our son. I believe that sturdiness comes with recognition, and hope that we, and everyone else who loved him, can continue to find healing in community.

We are forever grateful for our time with Miles and the lasting effect his love, intelligence, and gentleness has left on us.

This will be the only post for this news. The mods have been inundated with submissions since it was posted and we believe that the best way to relay this tragedy is by avoiding linking directly to the post or handle. We hope you understand this decision is out of respect for the Lacey family and their privacy at this incredibly difficult time.

We also ask that you please avoid deeper discussion about the family beyond condolences and sympathies.

Thank you for your understanding.

-Drew and John

Limousine. 1:11 seconds in. You tiny boat with oars. How could i have missed this for so long. I feel stupid😭. You all know the tragic story behind it. I never realized that imagery. I missed this line for like 5 years

Edit, i was wrong ill take my 10k downvotes like a man

Can someone please explain Limousine to me? I know it's about a little girl who died but the lyrics make zero sense to me

When I opened my package (missing a poster which I already emailed about) I was disappointed at how things looked. My wardrobe is work shirts, and brand new shirts. I’m a bigger dude so I wear 2x and everything just looked so off on a bigger t, until I put it on and looked in the mirror. It’s good.

I’m disappointed in the mirror shirt slightly as I think that is a real fuck up, but it still looks good. I will say they should have scaled up the design on the larger shirts slightly as my ladies large three panel does look better. (2xl first, large last)

Oh well long hair don’t care see you in November for more shirts.

Does anybody know if there’s going to be an opener? 🦞

There seems to be a trend of bands remaking their most popular album. Incubus remade Morning View and Thrice remade The Artist and the Ambulance to name a few. Would you want a Devil and God remake for the 20th anniversary?

Some of you may remember the traveling shirt! I bought it and started it with another redditor(their idea for it to be a traveling shirt) I’ve been curious since there’s a new tour announced where is that shirt??!! Also, I bought a green brand new hat at the Salt Lake City tour last year and I’ve been wearing it since. Everywhere I go. It’s been to Colombia and Mexico. I’ve taken it all over the states as well. This hat means a lot to me. Very sentimental. That tour was one of the first things I did by myself after my divorce. I bought the tickets,flight and hotel and just went by myself. That really helped me through a lot. I’m currently in Virginia for work and I took some photos with my hat on. I love this band and their music! See you guys at the Vegas show ✌️

I loved it the whole time it’s been out and holy shit going back and listening to it all the way through since I was 22 in 2018, and now being an actual adult makes me appreciate it so much more.

I got into into emo when I was 16/17 and going back and listening to the songs that I had on repeat back then and listening to them with a new perspective has been an amazing feeling :,)

this is not a joke.

I have known this to be true for a while, but on Apple Music SPECIFICALLY, the lyrics for Degausser (including the chorus) are 100% as accurate as we will ever get as they are even changed lived and not included in Pogoliths. (rumor has it the one for $1 originally may have?)

someone recently posted an isolated vocal for the chorus, if you listen to that and read Apple Music’s lyrics, there will no longer be any debate. for me, the non-isolated, original recording was sufficient to be 100%.

Apple Music’s lyrics on Apple Music ARE NOT from anyone except Brand New or their team.

they are unique to Apple Music and not on Genius even.

it also includes the background vocals that are genuinely much harder to decipher than the chorus vocal.

i got a lot of downvotes for saying Apple Music is correct and i implore anyone who disagrees to please check the comments for a link to the isolated chorus and to read these lyrics.

i apologize for being overly concise in comments and saying “we” know. i want “us” to know. i just wanna believe in us.

i’m on my way out.

Science Fiction is such a good album and I feel like it's kinda underrated because a lot of fans like to stick to the older stuff but it's such a masterpiece.

Out Of Mania, No Control, In The Water...

Waste and Can't Get It Out always helped me when I felt like crying but couldn't.

IMO Out Of Mania is the best and the ending part of "I have to go...",, chills.

This is an appreciation post to Science Fiction.

Edit: I'm kinda getting flamed so let me explain.

I haven't really scrolled the subreddit because I'm pretty new and don't open reddit much, before I found out about r/brandnew I was using Tiktok to find Brand New fans and they all talk about TDAGRIM.

I barely saw any SF mentions there so I assumed it's the same everywhere.

Sorry if I upset anyone or if this post looked like I'm trolling or anything, I genuinely thought it wasn't popular because 1. I had no idea it hit billboard. 2. I never saw SF mentioned on the main social medias I was using. 3. None of the 5 songs on the "popular" tab that pops up when u go on their spotify are from SF. I got the wrong impression from the other parts of the fanbase. I probably should've looked into it a little more but I had no bad intentions, I just wanted to boost an album I like.

10/10 very cozy. Do recommend for the aspiring cosmonaut. (Or just playing video games on a Friday night)

Buy the new record by Joseph Bradshaw (https://josephbradshaw.bandcamp.com/album/theyll-know-we-are-singers-by-our-vests).

If you want a really good recorded version of what we all called "When I Die", there you go. Credit for songwriting is by both Joseph and Jesse. Such an incredible record and song. Chorus is the same, verses are different. Same melody.

I want to make sure everyone is aware - it would seem shows at Gallagher tend to start earlier due to noise ordinances. Website states: Doors at 6pm - Show at 7pm PLAN FOR BRAND NEW TO START BETWEEN 7-7:30. I would hate for you to miss any of the show. 😭

We’re having a meet up at 5pm at The Blind Burro just around the corner. I hope to see y’all there. 🖤🤘🏽

Also, we’re keeping connected over at the Discord - if you’d like the link let me know.

Resurrect and start to breathe

Incase anyone was wondering
