JESSE LACEY: Brand New and The Truth About Vulnerable Art and Flawed Artists

Brand New has been the soundtrack to my life for more than two decades. Their albums aren’t just music to me. They’re timestamps. Entire seasons of my life are tied to certain songs, certain lines, certain moments where it felt like somebody, somewhere, had finally put my own thoughts into words. I’ve grown up with this band. I’ve grown older with this band. Their work has shaped how I think about art, honesty, and what it costs to make something that real. But while the music stayed the same, I noticed something happening around it. People weren’t just listening to Brand New, they were constructing versions of Jesse Lacey that never actually existed. They took the seriousness of the writing, the emotional depth, the darkness, and turned it into a kind of myth, a cleaner, wiser, safer version of the man behind it. And when the scandal surfaced, those projections shattered. I didn’t build those stories myself. But I watched a lot of people do it. And the fallout said more about the listeners than it did about the band. This video isn’t a defense, and it’s not an attack. It’s an examination of how we treat the artists who make the work we love, why we expect vulnerability without flaw, and what happens when real human complexity breaks the version we kept in our heads. If Brand New’s music has lived inside your life the way it’s lived inside mine, this film might give you a different way to understand that connection, not through the band, but through the people who listened to them.
