Based on Nothing (music)

Officially surpassing Brand New's discography count (if we're included a new, fifth album soon), Where's the Brand New Album? enters its six episode with Layne Montgomery! Co-hosts Spenser and Jacob discuss the band's genre-defining albums, certain songs, and where the band comes from with Layne -- an avid music fan who has never heard a single song from Brand New. They all also realize how many songs of Brand New feature piano.

It's been two weeks since the last episode and Where's the Brand New Album? is slowing down discussion about a specific record from Brand New and just talking about the band themselves. This episode plays around with format -- two guests! three segments! -- in which conversation goes as far as the band's silent presence, those mysterious demos, the music scene in general, Kevin Devine, and the extremely popular Layne Montgomery. Andrew Gelburd and Matthew Ryan join in for "Fighting Off Your Deja Devil Demons."

The time has come for another podcast where we talk about a band's discography, and that band is Brand New. Where's The Brand New Album? asks the age-old question, "where's that goddamn brand new album from the band Brand New?" In this episode, Spenser and Jacob pose the question, can't find the answer, and so they discuss Brand New's debut album, Your Favorite Weapon. In depth conversation gets crazy when they talk about each track individually, national tragedies, and, for some reason, Dashboard Confessional. This is just the beginning of this podcast so subscribe to us on iTunes, write to us at info@basedonnothing.net, and follow us on Twitter (@brandnewpodcast)!
