They showed incredible amounts of energy during the show especially the bassist ‘Jaime Precaido‘ who never seemed to stop moving and was definitely way more involved with the crowd than the rest of the band. The strobe lights and smoke blasted into the ceiling during the breakdown which made a great live experience. They played my favourite song by them second ‘ Caraphernalia‘ which was incredible. The sheet came down as they burst into ‘Hell Above’ which as heavy as that song is was hard to hear due to the onslaught of screaming girls.
A white sheet with a silhouette of a woman on shrouded the stage before the lights went down. So I hoped this time would be a lot better. I last saw this band at Slam Dunk Festival in 2013 before I was abruptly dragged away by my friend because we had to go home… Anyway the point is when I saw them there was many production faults, one of the main ones being the lead microphone didn’t work for the first 3 songs and no one had told the band so they just carried on. Pierce the Veil are a 4-piece post-hardcore (or mexicore as I like to call them due to their mexican decent) from San Diego, California. Next up was the band I had been waiting for ‘Pierce the Veil’. Also despite being quite a heavy band they still have a lot of songs that you can sing a long (or shout a long) to. As i hadn’t heard much of them before I didn’t quiteknow what to expect but I am definitely checking them out and listening to them now I’ve seen them live as the blend of an angelic clean vocalist and an angry screaming vocalist they have is absurdly good. The band came to the stage and exploded in a rage of glory as the crowd we’re singing back and cheering every time one of the lead singers asked for noise. The stage went dark as a very low bass frequency filled the room and shook everyone standing. ISSUES are a 6 piece metalcore band from Atlanta, Georgia.
So after getting my over priced coke and finding a spot at the back for the support band ‘ISSUES’ intro began. After finally getting in to Rock City after waiting for half an hour half a kilometer away from the venue in a predominantly pre-pubescent queue, I could tell 14 year old girl’s screams were gonna destroy my hearing tonight.
