In a recent interview, Jesse Lacey stated that Brand New will be entering the studio in April, with plans to release the album by the end of the year. You can read the full interview here, and a snippet of the interview below:
So you started writing new material about a year ago?
Well…
I will be so happy.
I am sorry our culture has treated women so poorly for so long that suffering abuse to receive celebrity attention seems like a fair and reasonable trade. We have failed you, utterly.
We failed you when Chris Brown received a slap on the wrist for his crime and was subsequently allowed to perform at the 2012 Grammy’s not once but twice. We failed you when he was awarded R & B Album of the Year at that same ceremony. This is not to say he has no right to move on from his crime but he has demonstrated not one ounce of contrition. Instead, he has flagrantly reveled in his bad boy persona and taunted the public at every turn. He’s young and troubled but that’s an explanation for his behavior, not an excuse.
We failed you when Charlie Sheen was allowed and eagerly encouraged to continue to star in movies and have a hit television show that basically printed him money after he shot Kelly Preston “accidentally” and he hit a UCLA student in the head when she wouldn’t have sex with him and he threatened to kill his ex-wife Denise Richards and he held a knife to his ex-wife Brooke Mueller’s throat. We failed you when Roman Polanski received an Oscar even though he committed a crime so terrible he hasn’t been able to return to the United States for more than thirty years. We failed you when Sean Penn fought violently with Madonna and continued a successful, critically acclaimed career and also received an Oscar.
We fail you every single time a (famous) man treats a woman badly, without legal, professional, or personal consequence.
It is not okay for a guy to hit you. Or threaten to hit you. Or to hit another woman. No matter how hot or famous he is. No matter what he’s done in the past to make you think he’s a good person/a nice guy/respectful of women. No matter what you THINK she did “to deserve it.” IT’S. NOT. OKAY. And I’ll echo this apology: I’m sorry the world has led some of you to believe it is.
I completely agree with all of the above. But, I would also like to add that, even though it isn’t as common or publicized, its not okay for women to be abusive either.
I really hope these girls at least know who Paul McCartney is, because that would be too much failure to handle otherwise.
When people spell the undead creatures from A Song of Ice and Fire “white walkers” instead of “wight walkers.”

Exactly how I felt when Brand New played in Chico and not LA.
WHO DOES THAT?!
if this was your dad you’d want people to reblog this, so reblog for this kid & his dad <3

If a bunch of rebloging is all it takes to get someone to stop poisoning himself, I hope everyone is at least a good enough person to do so.
