Talk about a "it's finals week and I don't want to write about music in films anymore" post... but anywho. A
Behind the Music of sorts, if you don't mind...
Brand New (band name) rocks. No, they aren't new. No, they don't have a CD coming out anytime soon, though I did find some new singles/b-side tracks, one of which is youtube-d at the bottom. What they are though, is really good.
You want to talk about a band that reinvents itsself? How about one that gained popularity for its pop/punk single (Jude Law and a Semester Abroad) back in 2000, and has since come to a song called "Jesus Christ," about...well... who the hell knows what.

true story...Amanda Buchanan's sister had a lil thing for me (she was in college) and burned me a bunch of great music that I listened to non stop. The CD covers had the names of the bands and everything but when I put them on my laptop the titles didn't come over.
SO...I knew that the "Brand New" songs she put on there were good, but I never knew which ones OR just how good. NOW I know.
Thanks JG!
Joe Blow... great band. I'll argue with you on this one. I feel like they really came into their best with the latest album. Good title, good album artwork, and yes good music. It's weird and creepy as nuts sometimes but the critics loved it and so did I. I think they get hated on alot more than they deserve. Not many bands could put together such an album as the last. While it's semi under the radar, I think people will look back and notice its greatness a lot more in the future.
Always glad to be of service.
Yea I agree, the albumbs have progressively gotten better. It would just be creepy for me to say I love the last one the most. Oh well, its out there. Yea, even the front cover is sufficiently creepy, and I think it may be about the true meaning of "Limousine" Wikipedia that shit if you are curious.
Thats probably why I like them. Nothing is explained... its like a big puzzle for grown ups.
