| Biography
Brand New is a rock band from Merrick, New York. Formed in the early 2000s, they quickly became part of the Long Island, New York rock scene. They have released two full-length albums and two EPs, and the band are currently working on their third, as-yet untitled, album.
 The band came into the mainstream with their song "The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows," which fell into heavy rotation on many radio stations during the summer of 2003, while they were on the Vans Warped Tour.
The band is a notable part of the Long Island, New York music scene along with The Movielife, From Autumn to Ashes, Glassjaw and Taking Back Sunday.
In the late 1990s Jesse Lacey, Garrett Tierney and Brian Lane were all members of The Rookie Lot, a Post-Hardcore band largely influenced by groups like Lifetime, along with guitarists Alex Dunne and Brandon Reilly, the latter of the two who would later be a member of the bands The Movielife and Nightmare of You.
After The Rookie Lot disbanded, Lacey and Lane started playing together again with Tierney joining them soon after. Then Vinnie "Vin" Accardi joined, completing the band's current line-up. After recording, producing, and releasing their first four-track demo, the band began rigorously touring around the Long Island scene. The band name is rumored to have come from the song "Brand New" by the Beastie Boys.
