The God Awfuls become Brand New War

Punk act The God Awfuls have decided to rechristen themselves Brand New War. The LA-based band explained:

After much debate, we have decided to play under a new banner, a new name, if you will. Being the God Awfuls has brought so much to all of us. But alas, what's past is past, and it's time to put it to bed and move AHEAD. We are continuing to make music, like the demo you heard posted on our page, and are going to do it out on the road again. But for us, it was time for a change. The music is a bit different, but the sentiment is the same. There will be more music posted on the "BRAND NEW WAR" Myspace in December..... We are going to put a record out in the not-too-distant future, under the name, BRAND NEW WAR. This is the name of the band.

The band released Next Stop Armageddon in 2004.
