download brand new Brand New's 'The Devil and God Are Raging Inside of Me' is still messing with us. Ten years ago, I sent my favorite band a dollar bill in the mail. The act of blind faith was prompted by instructions in the liner notes of Brand New's third album, The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me , which was released on November 21, 2006. As the blood-and-thunder album title suggests, it's a beast of a record. It didn't feel like much of a choice. For a small fee, fans were allegedly to receive a booklet of lyrics (not included in the album's packaging) in the mail. We waited in vain. Fans even reported to the band's official street team forum that their checks for $1 had been cashed as the months dragged on, but nothing came. Nothing came until we had a few years to process the full force of the record's unrelenting emotional calamity. Fans collectively scrambled on Livejournal communities and message boards trying to piece together 's wounded yelps and murmurs often hidden beneath Vincent Acardi's guitar solos or layered, distorted chants. "Limousine," a tragedy in three acts inspired by a devastating local news story -- the death of a seven-year-old flower girl at the hands of a drunk driver -- is enough to process without realizing the song's somehow grimmer conclusion buried beneath feedback. We'll never have to buy adjacent plots of earth We'll never have to rot together underneath dirt I'll never have to lose my baby in the crowd I should be laughing right now. Later, Lacey laments a breakup because his ex no longer lives with the prospect of mourning him one day. For some, teen angst is jut that. For others, the pain calcifies. For Lacey, it mutated and multiplied. He feels guilty about even bothering anyone with an apology. Brand New's previous album , a triumphant, genre-curious take on the early aughts scene, legitimized the band and the genre. But with the next effort, Lacey came to make peace (and war) with his creator. "What did you do these three days you were dead? Cause this problem's gonna last more than the weekend," Lacey inquires on "Jesus Christ," a sort of rambling, five-minute voicemail on the son of God's machine. As a single, it's a curious pitch, but Brand New shot their last video to this date (and the only video from TDAG) for the song. They never released it, though. Of course they didn't. Fight Off Your Demons. By the time the "Jesus Christ video was scrapped, fans had come to expect trails of breadcrumbs leading nowhere. TDAG came after Lacey, Acardi, bassist Garrett Tierney and drummer Brian Lane took an 18-month hiatus following the success of Deja Entendu to get back to their lives in . The first hint of their highly anticipated return came through a rebranding -- changing their official website to the ominous FightOffYourDemons.com in the summer of 2005 and offering little else to work with. On January 24, nine unfinished songs, which would eventually be known amongst fans as Fight Off Your Demos, leaked. Some finished versions of the songs ended up on the record, becoming "Sowing Season (Yeah)" and "Luca." All the songs are now available through Brand New's own imprint, Procrastinate! Music Traitors. Just prior to TDAG 's release, Lacey already had regrets tied to the leak, "This record already feels incomplete to me without those tracks and probably will forever," he told fans in a street team interview. How painfully Jesse Lacey of him. being so dissatisfied with his best work. R.I.P. Brand New. TDAG. ushered in a new golden era of confusion for the band. Brand New have proven themselves uniquely qualified to uncertainty, which became the band's primary tongue. To this day, no one takes a word that comes out of Lacey's mouth at face value. But every good liar knows the key is telling the truth every once and a while. And they lie well -- hallelujah! I got my dollar bill back eventually, along with the mythical lyric book I'd given up on long ago . I'm not sure when it arrived at my childhood home, but the band kept all those return addresses on file all those years. Eventually, I discovered it waiting for me in my teenage bedroom on a trip home long after most of its mysteries had been meticulously deciphered. A message on the sticker seeming to announce a future breakup date was the overdue package's most curious lead: In the spring of 2016, the band reiterated the message by selling t-shirts reading, "2000-2018." If, like with those damn lyric zines, Brand New makes good on this promise the members will, "stay 18 forever," as Lacey dreamed on their debut album's cry for eternal youth, "Soco Amaretto Lime." (Preservation by death.) But Brand New breaking up, to anyone besides the kids filling up stadiums to scream their songs, isn't really a change. They've released one album since TDAG -- the underrated Daisy back in 2009 -- and did relatively little to promote it. Apart from two critically well-received singles in 2015 and 2016 and remastering some leaked demos, there's been no new music, despite persistent rumors. In the past decade, Brand New has functioned primarily as a touring band, not a bad thing considering their dynamic live show. In July 2016, the Long Island band headlined Madison Square Garden. Shortly after, they embarked on yet another tour and decided to play TDAG in full to commemorate its ten year anniversary. "It is an important record and a piece of work to us,one that ten years later we still use as a measuring post which we compare the music we make now," they wrote in a rare personal message to fans. A friend and I rented a Zip Car to drive the two hours from New York City to Wallingford, Connecticut for the unofficial anniversary tour in what was in equal parts an adult and hopelessly teenage act. "Is it in you now?" scream-sang Lacey to the crowd. What isn't, though? The rage has just begun. Brand New - Yeah (Sowing Season) [Demo 2006] Lyrics. Losing all my friends. Losing them to drinking and to driving. Losing all my friends. I want them back. Slipping out the back. Did you really think we wouldn't notice? Slipping out the back. In the pouring rain. Leo loved his wife. Loved her and was faithful to her always. Buried both the kids, In the summer sun. Praying for his life, Huddled in the brig all with his shipmates. Praying for this life, And I dropped the bomb. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. What you waiting for? Searching for your brother, In an empty room across the hall. Is he coming back? Listening at night, Waiting for a sound to come up the stairs. Listening at night, Waiting for the sound of the car park. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Call him up this summer, On the phone. Need to know what it feels like again. Summer skin, Found another lover. Tell him straight, call him up again. I'll call him up again, yeah. Call him up again. Tying both your shoes and, Looking past the ocean for the signal. Waiting for a bottle, In the open water. They don't send you letters. They don't telephone you. They don't send you letters, But you're waiting for them. You write him, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Call him up this summer, On the phone. Need to know what it feels like again. I'll call him up again. Call him up this summer, On the phone. Need to know what it feels like again. Download brand new sowing season album.
