In 2003, when the post-emo band Brand New was brand new, it dusted off an old Latin saying whispered into the ears of new popes during their coronation.
"Sic Transit Gloria," wasn't otherwise papal—it was about a man getting date-raped by a woman when "all he wanted was to hold her."
Here's the weird thing about Brand New: Even though the band members are old, they're making music—like, professionally. So are many of their contemporaries.
