November 22nd, 2014 at Webster Theater in Hartford, CT. —
Starting their set with burst of colored confetti combined with the shrill screams of a sold out theater, Pierce The Veil (PTV) made a dramatic entrance and kept the energy pinned till the last note of the last song. These guys didn’t even need microphones … the crowd sang every word to every tune at the top of their lungs!
Touring in support of their 2012 release, Collide with the Sky, as well as their 2013 release of the documentary This is the Wasteland. They are set to release their newest album in early 2015.
Pierce The Veil is:
Vic Fuentes: lead vocals, guitar, keyboards
Mike Fuentes: drums
Tony Perry: lead guitar
Jamie Preciado: bass
The Word Tour, didn’t end there, Sleeping With Sirens, who released Feel in 2013 and a single not on the album “Kick Me” this year, took the stage a resounding welcome and their unending support didn’t stop for their entire set. With their energy and crowd interaction it’s no wonder these guys have such a solid fan base. The crowd was singing their songs, mimicking their actions and reaching across the barriers just to get closer.
Sleeping With Sirens is:
Kellin Quinn: lead vocals
Justin Hills: bass guitar
Gabe Barham: drums
Jack Fowler: guitar
Nick Martin: guitar (touring member)
This tour, complete with Beartooth, an up and coming welcomed addition to the show, and This Wild Life, will continue through April 2015. With positive messages, a fun atmosphere and fans that truly enjoy the band and get into the music, it’s a tour not to be missed.
