In celebration of the release of its upcoming album, entitled ‘Daisy’, the punk band Brand New has decided to do a promotional tour that lasts over a month. In addition to being able to enjoy the new music featured on ‘Daisy’, fans will also get to listen to song sets from the three opening acts that have been booked to appear on different points throughout the tour. Manchester Orchestra will join the band up through October 23rd, after which Thrice picks up until November 14th, and Glassjaw picks up on November 15th   to close out the final portion of the tour.

The album, scheduled for release on September 22nd, follows up the band’s release “The Devil and God are Raging Inside of Me.” This album debuted at the 31st spot after its release in November of 2006.

Instead of going with the usual sound and recording something that fans would expect to hear on an album, the band decided to explore another direction. According to Jesse Lacey, Brand New’s frontman, “We were thinking a lot more about what we’d want to play when we were up onstage rather than actually what you’d want to hear on a record.” What exactly does this mean for fans of Brand New? It means that in order to experience the album the way the band wants it to be, you have to hear them play it live.

The band will kick off its newest tour on October 1st in Cleveland, OH’s Time Warner Cable Amphitheater, and finish its 40-date trek across the US and Canada in Uniondale, NY’s Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. While most of the concerts will be a one night event, the band has added multiple-night engagements at a handful of venues to give fans a second chance at catching this once-in-a-lifetime show. Brand New tickets are already on sale for the general public, so get yours while you still can.
