213041284s Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Something that's crossed my mind is that it would be absolutely amazing if this was the ONLY WAY the music was released. Thumbdrives with single songs through a viral marketing campaign. or if they were done Oprah style: You want a new single?

stokd Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 The mixing/production on it is very Mike Sapone as well, any other BN Fanboys agree? Very much so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
213041284s Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Very much so. This old post that I saw floating around tumblr in September seems to confirm that: my sister works in the floral department of a certain chain grocery store on Long Island. Yesterday she was making a fall-colored floral arrangement for a stocky guy on his cell phone. As she was doing so she was eavesdropping on his conversation and overheard the words “my studio” “messing around” “this whole week” and “brian lane.” upon further listening, she found out that brand new is doing studio time (and they’re ordering $200 worth of food on a company card) this week. and then she described the guy to me, i googled mike sapone, and she confirmed that’s who it was. SO THERE YOU HAVE IT, INTERNET. BRAND NEW. RECORDING. ON LONG ISLAND. MESSING AROUND WITH SAPONE. WITH A FALL COLORED BOUQUET. BOOM. (Source) Also the bouquet may seem insignificant, but lately they've (Brand New) been pretty big on having flowers all over stage and on the mics and throwing them into the crowd, etc. They seem to be fond of having these floral arrangements in their "musical space" so to speak And I saw Brian at Kevin Devine's show earlier this month, he was talking to some guy (wearing glasses I think, maybe Andrew Accardi?) I couldnt see them well, but they seemed to be discussing something seriously, so there's that as well. Jesse was with them too, this was after the show ended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yocaseycasey Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Interesting. If this IS Brand New, then consider this the best thing to happen to viral marketing AND the music industry in a while. It's about time things were shaken up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youmightbewrong Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'm really digging that new instrumental track on the site now http://www.heatthing.com/ Damn it! I can't listen right now. I have people sleeping all around me, and the headphone jack on my laptop is broken. First world problems up in here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yocaseycasey Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'd be curious to know how many hits that page has gotten. I also am curious to know if this ISN'T Brand New, how many people are going to bail on whoever this band is. I mean, it would appear that most people that are keeping up with/showing interest in this band are doing so in hopes that it is Brand New. So if it turns out to just be some band that no-one has ever heard of, and it doesn't have any semi-famous musicians in it, are people just going to be all "FUCK YOU GUYS FOR FOOLING US!!!" And then never listen again? PS - Hammered dulcimer in the background at the end. TIGHT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessRD Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Anyone that would put this much thought/effort/ingenuity into a song release seems worth following. I think I liked the track better when I came to my own personal conclusion that its likely not Brand New, but Brian Lane is drumming. I'm sure tons of people will lose interest if its not Brand New, but that's lame. The lyrics to that song are horrifyingly intriguing to me.

Vocal sound like Andrew, and Jesse mentioned in an interview they were working together. Apparently, it sounds to some as though Jesse does background vocals on the first song released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collectivemike Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 So I finally gave this a good listen and while I still don't think this viral marketing thing is cool at all (and it still seems like a waste of time to me haha) these tracks are fucking dripping with Brand New's scent. Either this is them or they're totally ok with someone totally ripping off their sound... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 So I finally gave this a good listen and while I still don't think this viral marketing thing is cool at all (and it still seems like a waste of time to me haha). Yeah, you guys are acting as if you have never seen viral marketing before. It's not original and comes off as a pretty desperate attempt to get attention. Doubt many people would give a shit about this song had it been released the standard way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt many people would give a shit about this song had it been released the standard way. i think this particular viral marketing technique as been pretty original. although i'm not fully involved with it, it seems like a lot of others are having fun with it and doesn't seem desperate to me. trevorxramage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not acting like I haven't seen a viral marketing campaign before. Just because I have doesn't mean I'm not allowed to still say it's stupid ha.

It's time to go back to 2004, put the makeup back on, and maybe jerk off while listening to some Fueled By Ramen bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
