Brand New Sin

"This record will make you want to play air guitar in front of the mirror again, like Appetite For Destruction," according to guitarist Ken Dunham. That’s quite a ballsy statement for a new band to make, but Brand New Sin’s devil-may-care attitude is as confident and refreshing as the dirty, blues-infused hard rock they make. When a band follows in the tradition of legends like Iron Maiden, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Black Sabbath and powers its rock with three guitarists it ends up sounding like Motörhead after a fist fight with Down and Corrosion Of Conformity.

Brand New Sin was produced by local knobsman Pete Walker at Village Recorders in Liverpool, New York. The album boasts such raw fury that will propel BNS to the status of "the next big thang in rock." The mighty "S.P.P" and the soul purging "My World" could put hair on the chest of even the hottest supermodel on the planet.

"Brand New Sin is unyielding rock’n’roll power and timelessness," says Altier, "You can pick this record lyrical content. Slider and Altier share lyrical duties and Altier says the lyrics deal with "struggles with oneself. They’re very personal, but vague enough to where they can be adapted by anyone. Make ’em your own." When speaking about the music, Weichmann says, "We have moshy, fast parts and a lot of people are fooled by that. However, we can also write a song that will make you cry." Continuing on that line of thought, Slider finishes, "We weren’t pigeonholed into writing full out ballistic music. I can write acoustic songs as well." For a more concrete example of BNS’s songwriting complexities, check out the beautifully understated album track, "Missin You." Brand New Sin will dominate the world afterwards through non-stop touring, systematically capturing the filthy hearts of every rock hound on international soil. The 1% of the population that might accidentally sleep on this record, Dunham has the answer, "this band is unlimited music and won’t be overlooked."
