Brand New Sin is a hard rock/Southern rock band from Syracuse, New York. They are well known in the music business and also the sports entertainment field for recording themes for pro wrestlers.
Brand New Sin's first radio hit was the song "My World". They had been recording and touring the USA and UK since 2002 alongside many big national bands such as Motorhead, Corrosion Of Conformity, Saliva, Breaking Benjamin, SOil, Type O Negative, Clutch, Mushroomhead, The Cult and more. They have opened for Slash, Godsmack, Dope, Chris Cornell, Deftones, Drowning Pool, Audiovent, Dillinger Escape Plan, and countless others. In 2005, they toured to support their first Century Media release, Recipe For Disaster with Black Label Society.
In 2006, the band released their third studio album titled Tequila. That same year, they also recorded Big Show's theme song "Crank It Up" for WWE Wreckless Intent. The single My World was also featured on Chuck Liddell's "The Ultimate Iceman" DVD for UFC, as well as being used in promos for Batista's in his final months in the WWE.
Brand New Sin performed at the 12th annual KRockathon (a one-day music festival presented by the Syracuse, New York radio station WKLL). It was held on July 21, 2007 at the Cayuga County Fair Speedway.
Original Lead singer Joe Altier, now widely known in Central New York as "Just Joe", and current front man for Elephant Mountain, left the band to pursue other interests in early 2008. They found singer Joe Sweet, former and current singer for Utica, NY band Nine Ball, to replace Altier and did some brief touring in 2008. Early in 2009 Joe Sweet decided to focus on his family and his many personal endeavors. Founding member and guitarist Kenny Dunham also parted ways with BNS in 2009. Kris Wiechmann stepped up to the plate and tracked the vocals for this recording delivering a conviction and style that fits perfectly with this band's blend of southern metal and hard rock.
