The songs Seventy Times Seven (by Brand New) and There's No I In Team (Taking Back Sunday) are about this event in their life. His popularity declined sharply in the late 1980s and 1990s, though; he continued recording, working with legends like Bunny Roots, Josey Wales, Sly & Robbie, Junjo Wales, Roots Radics and Doctor Dread. They had a fight when Lacey's girlfriend cheated on him with Nolan. Que Dem, produced by George Phang was phenomenally popular, and was one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the time. Jesse Lacey was best friends with former Taking Back Sunday songwriter/guitarist/background vocalist John Nolan, now of the band Straylight Run. Happy Chappy's debut albums were This could happen to you and Chaplin Lecture, both major successes in Jamaica. They have also previously toured with Blink 182, supporting them on one of their Australian tours. He became extremely popular throughout Scarborough Middle School, memorable for his saying "This could happen to you".

Gene Chaplin (unrelated to the comedian of the same name) is a Jamaican dancehall and ragga singer. Soon after they released two songs on a split EP with Safety In Numbers. In 2001, Brand New released their first full length album Your Favorite Weapon.
