It's been a while since we've posted something Brand New-related, so what better to break the drought than with a contest?
One winner gets a vinyl copy of the band's newest full-length, Daisy, as well an auto'd poster. A runner-up will get the album on compact disc and a poster, too. But you can click Read More for all the details, as those are pretty crucial.

Foundation, the project from Rob Huddleston of Ann Beretta and Inquisition is set to release a new digital EP via Paper and Plastick. To celebrate, we've got a rare test press of his last full length, Chimborazo, to give away.
So, after consulting with the organizers, we decided you needed to work just a little harder than normal for this. So here's the deal: you think of the best name for a fest you can possibly imagine and then drop it in our comments or if you're so inclined, hit us up with it on Twitter: @Punknews. Come up with the best name - make us laugh, cry, recoil in disgust or perhaps pee our pants in horror - and you and a friend will get weekend passes to the event!

With Paper and Plastick set to release My Roaring Twenties, we've got two rare test presses from Cheap Girls to give away. One for the new album, and one for their previous full length, Find Me a Drink Home.

This Friday, Foundation will mark the upcoming release of their new EP, Let It Roll, with a record release show. The EP is set to drop October 27, as a digital-only release. In a twist on the idea of "iTunes exclusive," the band will offer anyone purchasing the EP directly from Paper & Plastick's webstore an additional two tracks, totalling six. The iTunes release will only have four songs.
Also at the show will be the debut of Freeman, the new band featuring several members of Avail, playing music similar to their prior band's Dixie-era.
We're giving away a pair of tickets to one lucky winner, including a Foundation t-shirt and a copy of their prior release, Chimborazo on vinyl. The show will be this Friday, October 9th, at the Canal Club in Richmond, VA. Click Read More for official rules, and how to enter below.
