Biography/origins
Brand New formed in 2000 in Merrick, Long Island, New York. Jesse Lacey, Brian Lane, and Garrett Tierney had all played in The Rookie Lot in the late 1990s. A while after The Rookie Lot split, they started rehearsing together again. When their former (TRL) bandmate, Brandon Reilly, joined The Movielife, they recruited Vincent Accardi to be their guitarist. At the time, Vincent (also known as Vin or Vinnie) was only 17 and still in school. He had been playing in a Levittown, Long Island band at the time called One Last Goodbye, and joined Brand New when the other guys played The Shower Scene for him. When the band first started playing together, they would pick Vinnie up after school every day in their van. This piece of information is not important to the bands story at all, I just thought it was funny.
The band signed to Triple Crown records just after their second show after being rejected from Warner Bros. The name Brand New originally came from a friend of the band saying he was going to name his band that, but he never did, so they took the name for themselves.
