“Brand New, the influential American rock band from Long Island, New York, is making a comeback in 2025 after a lengthy hiatus. The band’s comeback follows a period of inactivity since 2017, when sexual misconduct allegations against lead singer Jesse Lacey led to the cancellation of their tour and subsequent disappearance from the public eye. Despite the controversy, Brand New has announced three reunion shows for March 2025, marking their first official performances in over seven years. The band’s return has sparked mixed reactions from fans, with some eagerly anticipating their comeback while others remain skeptical due to the lingering effects of the allegations. As Brand New prepares to take the stage once again, their reunion serves as a significant moment in the rock music landscape, potentially reigniting discussions about their musical legacy and the complexities surrounding their return.” (Perplexity)
