Together with Garrett Tierney and Brian Lane, he first founded The Rookie Lot. Together they released a demo tape and a split 7 '' with Yearly. When Vincent Accardi joined, Brand New was born. At around the same time, Brand New and Taking Back Sunday released their debut albums.

accusations

In November 2017, Lacey was accused of requesting nude photos of a then 15-year-old girl in 2002. Both had met at a concert by his band Brand New. The woman also accused Lacey of pushing her to watch him masturbate. A little later, another woman spoke up who claimed to have also been molested by Lacey on the Internet at the age of 16 , so he is said to have asked her about nude photos, among other things. Lacey published a lengthy statement on his Facebook page in which he apologized for the incidents and asked for forgiveness.
