Brand New's Sophomore Album On Triple Crown Records/Razor & Tie Entertainment Certified Gold

NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ Triple Crown Records/ Razor & Tie Entertainment) - Brand New's second album DEJA ENTENDU, released on Triple Crown Records/Razor & Tie Entertainment, has been certified gold, with shipments now exceeding the 500,000 mark. This is Brand New's first RIAA certification.

Released in 2003, DEJA ENTENDU garnered the Long Island rockers tremendous press acclaim. Rolling Stone called the album "an emo masterpiece" and deemed Brand New a "Hot Band" in the "Hot" issue, while The New York Times referred to DEJA ENTENDU as "an extraordinary album full of riddles and rallying cries and contagious choruses". The band was named Artist Of The Year that year by The Reader's Poll in Alternative Press and the album made the Best Albums Of 2003 list in Revolver.

Brand New's first album, YOUR FAVORITE WEAPON, was originally released on Triple Crown Records in the fall of 2001 and was later picked up by Razor & Tie. The band has toured extensively, first nabbing much-sought-after opening stints for Dashboard Confessional and more, and then going on to headline. The band's latest album, THE DEVIL AND GOD ARE RAGING INSIDE ME, was released on Interscope in October of last year.
