Just wondering, how did you get into them so early on in their career? It's really cool that you live in the UK and have been following them for so long

 

Handcuffs is definitely my least favorite on TDAG but it's fine. But, yeah, "fine" is kind of a terrible way to end such an incredible album.

 

Used to not dig Handcuffs when I was younger. I appreciate it and enjoy it now. It is the weakest track, but I don't mind it. I like the strings.

 

I'm so excited to hear about tomorrow night's show. "Stuff" is happening!

 

I'd suspect we will hear a new song or two.

 

Wow, I thought the tour didn't start for another few weeks... and I live in Canada.

 

Brand Who? Dis Thrice band is pretty tight tho

 

I was into Finch basically, who wasn't when WIITB came out?! Brand New supported them for their first tour and they had Jude Law on a CD that came free with a magazine called Rock Sound at the same time. It all spiralled from there!

 

Moshi Moshi was so great acoustic at that Glasgow show. Jesse was so off the cuff about playing it, it was just 'sure, why not'. He seemed hammered, and way more talkative than normal which was great. That and the Ally Pally show were both something special.

 

Nervously waiting for a setlist update from a Canada show. Ahhhh. Praying they play something new, or just announce a date for the album. Any info will do haha

EDIT- very stupidly realised it's tonight. Not sure how I came to the conclusion it was last night but ah well.

 

You know how they say you shouldn't wish the time away and should stay in the present moment? Well today all I want is for it to be tonight already so we can get updates about this show

 

I got into Brand New about two years ago. I never looked at which songs our albums people generally loved and didn't love. That being said, At the Bottom is probably a top 5 Brand New song for me.

 

Have you heard At The Bottom (live in studio)? I prefer it to the album version tbh but the album version is good too.

 

Yes! That also has my favorite version of Sowing Season. I think I actually didn't love Sowing Season until I heard that version. The emotion is just so raw and the lyrics are so clear.

 

Have you heard them all? There is also a version of Bed, Bought a Bride and Jesus with KD that are worth checking out if you haven't already.

 

I'm trying not to think about their first show happening tonight. I'm on the east coast, so staying up for any tidbits is not a likely scenario for me.

 

Yeah I just saw the time difference for me (UK) and luckily it'll be just as I wake up around 6/7am when any info on it might get put up

 

Anyone in this forum going to be in attendance at the show tonight?

 

Yeah the off the cuff nature was great. It was kind of like that the other two times I've seen them do it - in Leeds, the equipment wasnt working for Garrett and Brian hit the drums and Jesse just played it. In Newcastle it was kind of a wee huddle and then they played it. Love that song.
