What is it?: Released as a single nearly a year after The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me, "(Fork and Knife)" held fans together before Brand New's 2009 release Daisy. Backed with drums and piano, Jesse Lacey's lyrics become the well-deserved center of focus. This song leaked along with a bunch of other demos that ultimately shaped The Devil and God. However, the band recorded the released version of "(Fork and Knife)" while recording the actual album, releasing The Devil and God in 2006 and the single in 2007.
Why is it Song of the Week?: If you were one of the lucky few who got Brand New tickets, you're about to have an awesome weekend. If you are part of the large majority that sat at their computer at 11:59am, clicked "buy tickets" right at 12, and still got shut out of tickets, two of the three of us at KCACO understand your pain and share the burning hatred against ticketmaster. However, this holiday show frenzy did give us one thing: the promise of more shows in 2014. Although the European show announcements don't heal any wounds created by the quick sell-out of tickets of the December shows, it does suggest the prospects of some more touring in the upcoming year by the kings of emo. Brand New is not known for keeping their fans in the loop and seem to drive their marketing base on the element of surprise. Yet, for the sake of all of us fans, let's hope 2014 brings everyone a fighting chance for actually getting tickets for whenever these shows are announced. A new album wouldn't hurt either.
