Review:

With 2000+ people in attendance, outside there were a dedicated amount of followers who came for them just as equally as the headline act. But really, whether you know them or not, they have a lot of potential in Europe and this is just the beginning.

On a performance level Pierce The Veil came out with everything they have got. They are incredible, they have the right attitude and after hardcore touring in the US of the last three years they are extremely confident and not in a bad way. With matching songs to go along their music-man ship the atmosphere and welcome here tonight will give them good stead in the future.

Getting your name and songs out for the first time on new audiences is tricky for any band, it’s just a matter of selecting the right ones, we get a heavy dosage off their current LP “Selfish Machines” which is a good move for such a small slot and we also get an oldie sung out for good measure. All are played at their best, with plenty of interaction at the crowd helping to make you take notice.

Stand-out and frightfully catchy songs of the night such as Caraphernelia, Fast Times At Claremont High together with Besitos prove they’ve got what it takes to get you singing along for a damn good time.

So now you know, Vic Fuentes piercing screams and standout vocality mixed with Jaime’s backing bass lines and Tony Perry’s shredding all rounded up with Mike Fuentes masterful display on the skins blend together for a strong force to be reckoned with.

Ladies and gentlemen; Pierce The Veil are here now and they aren’t going anywhere.

End Notes:

With this being the second show on the tour you still have plenty of chances to check out all these bands but do so fast, because seriously they will be sold out before you know it.
