Brand New's The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me turned 20, and the Long Island band is marking it with a short fall tour that stops at Barclays Center. For a generation of emo and post-hardcore fans, this is a record that still hits like a confession. If you screamed along to "Jesus Christ" in a dorm room, a Brooklyn arena full of people who did the same is worth the trip.
What to expect
Doors open an hour before the show, and the arena fills with a crowd that tends to sing every word. Expect a set centered on the anniversary album in a full arena setting. It's an all-ages show, so you'll see a wide spread of fans.
