With Heaven Above You, There's Hell Over Me - P Like Pierce The Veil

Writing down my feelings for bands is more difficult than expected to be honest. It was all fun and games when I wrote about All Time Low because they're my all time favourites and I always know something to say about them but I possibly run out of words. Anyway, let's see how far I can make it with the four mexicans from San Diego.

(I rewrote this entry 3 times)

The question is: What makes Pierce The Veil so special? First of all Vic's voice is something very remarkable about the band. Depending on the song it can sound fragile or powerful, angry or comforting, desperate or confident. His voice can take you all the way up to the sky where everything's awesome and you see a rainbow but it can also take you all the way down where you curl up in bed and just cry. Both happens to me very regularly. Also, if that's not enough, you can still watch interviews Vic did where he talks about the meanings of certain songs or he shares fan stories and you'll fall for him anyway. 

Apart from Vic, there are three highly talented guys responsible for the sound of Pierce The Veil. I dare to say that Tony (the turtle) Perry is one of the best guitarists of our generation. He also loves Star Wars what I don't understand (I haven't seen Star Wars) and he looks super cute and everything but turns into a completely different person when he's on stage. 

I tend to neglect the fact that drummers exist, simply because they aren't on the spot as much as the vocalist and guitarists (and they don't jump around on stage like kangaroos on ecstasy) but I never neglect Mike's existence. That's probably because he's the biggest potterhead I can think of apart from myself and it took me a while to figure out that he's Vic's little brother and not the other way around. 

Last but not least there's Jaime, who's name I always pronounce wrongly (spanish, guys!!) and who plays the bass. By the way: if you're as well informed as I was, you probably didn't know that Jaime can sing really well, what you have to check out here: [x] 

Seriously, do it, let's fangirl together because I didn't see that coming and I'm in love with his voice (shhh I'm just trying to get you to comment on this post). 

Pierce The Veil and their music guided me through a bad day more than once. Actually they're doing it right now because sometimes I lose the ability to think properly what makes coping slightly difficult. There are days when I can't stand Of Mice & Men or Bring Me The Horizon because they're too loud, days when I even can't stand All Time Low because they're not loud enough. Pierce The Veil have the perfect balance between singing and screaming though.
