In the late 1990's 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 and Brandon Reilly, the latter would later be a member of the band The Movielife.
After The Rookie Lot had split, Jesse and Brian started playing and writing together again while Garrett joined soon after. Then a young Vinnie 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 Long Island scene. Soon enough the band found themselves playing with bands such as Midtown, Good Charlotte, New Found Glory, and Glassjaw. Brand New have since done a short stint on the Warped Tour in 2003, and have previously toured with Dashboard Confessional and Incubus. They also toured with blink-182, supporting them on one of their tours of Australia in 2004.
In 2001, Brand New released their first full-length album, Your Favorite Weapon. Soon after, they released two songs on a split EP with Safety In Numbers. They followed up 2001's Your Favorite Weapon with Deja Entendu in June, 2003 to much critical acclaim. A limited edition EP, entitled The Holiday EP, was also later released in 2003, available only to the band's Street Team members.
The band is currently working on their third album, which is set to be released in 2005.
