October 18th, 2012: Brand New

Cause And EffectOctober 18th, 2012: Brand New

Greetings,

Shannon Cleary of The Commonwealth of Notions is taking over Cause and Effect this evening. The focus of the program will be Long Island's own Brand New. The band emerged as a diverse pop-punk outfit to eventually become an outfit of enormous ambition and a larger than life sound. I will be focusing on influences, musical peers, song references (lyrical and titular) and also engaging in a bit of a history forum about the band's lifespan. Think a band that is spawned from the dark sounds of the eighties while being adolescents of the nineties then throw them into a ring to fight it out and you might have Brand New pegged as one of your new favorite bands. I hope you enjoy!
