American rock band Brand New have hinted at how long they have left together before there impending break up at a recent live show.
Brand New told the world they are planning to split up when they released new merchandise on their online shops, with a host of t-shirts featuring the dates 2000-2018, which confirms their planned time to stay together.
The group, which consists of Jesse Lacey (lead vocals, guitars), Vincent Accardi (guitars, backing vocals), Garrett Tierney (bass guitar), and Brian Lane (percussion), got together back in 2000, and released their first album Your Favorite Weapon in 2001. Their success grew once they released the second record Deja Entendu in 2003, that got an extremely positive reaction, and the first two singles from the album “The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows” and “Sic Transit Gloria… Glory Fades” both entered the UK top 40 singles chart, and the album was certified gold in the United States.
After shifting around record labels since their first which was Triple Crown Records, then onto Interscope Records, the band now have their own label which they started in 2008 named named Procrastinate! Music Traitors. Its on this they released their fourth album Daisy in 2009, hitting number 6 on the US Billboard chart before their latest Science Fiction.
The New York band surprise released a fifth and suggested to fans, final album this year named Science Fiction in August. It went onto reach number one in the US, and shifted an impressive 58,000 copies in its first week. They are currently on tour for this album, and it was at one of these shows that front man Jesse Lacy told the fans in the room, “We’re gonna be a band for about 14 more months, so thank you so much for being here tonight.” You can see this below.

This also follows an announcement made by Lacey last year while on tour in October 2016, where he told the audience “I’m gonna have a new daughter. We’ll hopefully have a record for you. I wanna tell you right here and now, this isn’t gonna last much longer, but it’s been so special for so long. For as long as it does last, we’re so grateful to you all for being here.”
