Not going to buy it, but that design is fantastic. The Ben Cooper tribute is great - I had instantaneous flashbacks to the costume sets of my early Trick or Treating.
Super cool. Saw them on Monday and they absolutely crushed it. Probably best performance of theirs I've seen and i've seen them 4 times. Seems like they really want LP5 to be on par with TDAGARIM.
Yeah but it'd be nice that in their time of still being together, we got an album in the last decade instead of more t-shirts.
last year they were clearly excited about having written new material and recording it. they informed us last month that they didn't feel like what they had was on par with their previous material. now they are treating us with cool new merch based on their previous albums everyone loved to tide us over while they (hopefully) craft a beautiful new album for us to enjoy. Brand New could easily continue on just giving us album art t-shirts and occasional repressings ad infinitum and never release anything new, merch or music-wise. and most of their fanbase would be satisfied. instead we get a multitude of new shirt designs and lyric books and masks and pins and cassettes and that's still cool.
If there is an LP5. If they don't think it's worthy of standing along side TDAG there may never be an LP5 sadly. I saw them on Tuesday and the setlist was identical to Monday pretty funny/kinda lame that they don't switch it up at all most nights.
Last year Bayside and TEN played a tour together and my brother hit up the show the night before I did. At his show they played all of self-titled front to back. We had like three songs the next night. I was super jealous! Show was great regardless.
