One of the most important aspects of any form of entertainment is to grab the audience's attention as early on as possible. Many artists fail at this task, with many fans lost as quickly as they are gained due to a wrong choice of how a band chooses to introduce themselves. Pierce the Veil is not one of those bands...

Sound: "Collide With The Sky" - an album that is sure to keep your head rockin' all the way through. Pierce The Veil, being a post-hardcore band, shows many sides of the way they create their music. Looking back at their past 2 albums, I'll say that this album is going in the right direction. This album is heavier in many ways. After listening through quite a few times, I noticed how most of these songs kind of link in towards each other. Each song is pretty similar, but they do each one well...

Being relatively unfamiliar with Pierce the Veil's previous work, Collide with the Sky has impressed and made a fan out of me. Combining quirky melodies and catchy, infectious choruses, Pierce the Veil have delivered a strong album, which is likely to make waves for them. The album starts off positively, as the production shows a good balance between the organic and the polished, and the punchy introduction will induce some movement in even the most lethargic listener...

Release Date: July 17, 2012 A couple weeks ago I received the ability to listen to Collide With the Sky, the new Pierce the Veil album that has stirred the scene enough between a couple surfaced songs and a rather visible cover art controversy. I'll lay this out right now - while their was certainly an affinity inside for their debut A Flair for the Dramatic, Selfish Machines is more than likely going to be the band's opus as far as energy and variety is concerned...

Sound: The voice of the vocalist captivated me when I first heard their song "The Cheap Bouquet". Other than that, it sounded generic. They had good screams, but you barely hear them do so most of the time. The guitarists were also great, and I remember hearing great solo riffs in some songs. Songs that are remarkable in the album are: Currents Convulsive, Yeah Boy And Doll Face, The Cheap Bouquet, Drella, and I'd Rather Die than Be Famous. They were the ones that actually caught my attention...

Vic and Mike Fuentes have been busy guys in 2010. From the release of scene super-group Isles & Glaciers' debut EP The Hearts of Lonely People, to the release of their bands third album (second under the moniker Pierce the Veil) Selfish Machines, along with a stint on this summers Warped Tour, the Fuentes brothers have kept busy. What was, arguably, the problem with the Isles & Glaciers EP? The vocals of Vic Fuentes, and how they seemed to not fit in with those of Jonny Craig and Craig Owens...

Sound: Make no mistake, I was not a very big Pierce The Veil fan before I heard this album. Their grandest work to date, Pierce have proven that they are a force to be reckoned with on Selfish Machines, and not just another scene-core band to be listened to and then lumped in with other bands with nice hair and overly gratuitous breakdowns...

Pierce The Veil has always seemed like the little brother in its scene. While similar bands like OG Chiodos and Emarosa grabbed the headlines with their high pitched and intense sound, the San Diego quartet was an afterthought. Even Craig Owens and Jonny Craig overshadowed PTV lead singer Vic Fuentes earlier this year in their super-group Isles and Glaciers and their EP...

Combine the phrases 'California', 'punk' and 'teenage angst' and you're likely to find a formula about as original as a red-coloured tomato. San Diego-based Pierce The Veil have all these elements, but project them through startlingly complex layers. This is punk through a prism: singer Vic Fuentes's keening voice echoes and reverberates from the off, trading lines with the backing vocals amid crisp riffs...
