Brand New Sin

BRAND NEW SIN NEWS: Facing a considerably challenging decision to be made about the future of BNS, new singer Joe Sweet has decided to focus on his family and his many personal endeavors. As the co-organizer of The [annual] Utica Music and Arts Fest http://www.uticamusicfest.net and the proud father to be (for the second time in June), Joe has decided that the best move is to back out before recording vocal tracks for Brand New Sin's 4th full length album. The recording is due to hit the streets in June and Sweet will not be available to tour. Hold on...that's not all... After 10 plus years of sharing the stage with fellow band mates Chuck Kahl and Kris Wiechmann (in both Godbelow and Brand New Sin) Kenny Dunham has also departed to pursue other interests. Whew! That said, Brand New Sin has a new CD on the horizon! Kris Wiechmann, guitarist, principal songwriter and lyricist, has bravely decided to step center stage to become lead vocalist of Brand New Sin. Kris will be honing his vocal skills every Monday at Mac's Bad Art Bar in Mattydale, NY with the "Home Town Zeros" [Brand New Sin 'unplugged']. Brand New Sin also would like to officially welcome Ed Carpenter to the family on guitar and vocals! Ed is well known in Central New York for his guitar work in Titanium Black [who recently performed in Germany and Sweden]. Catch Brand New Sin at Mac's Bad Art Bar in Syracuse, NY Friday, March 13, 2009 for Kris Wiechmann's debut on lead vocals! Brand New Sin are a hard rock/metal band from Syracuse, New York.
