However, if you dive below the surface into this record, you’ll find one of the most concise and well-written collections of post-hardcore gems out there. Naturally, as is the case with many songs of this size, this track (perhaps along with single “ Bulls In The Bronx”) I’d argue is what most people remember Collide With The Sky as. A catchy, heavy and fun tune with a music video that is equal parts hilarious and iconic, it has all the makings of a classic. To its credit, too, it’s one of those larger than life tracks from this side of music that I believe genuinely deserves its praise.
Be that of wistful reminiscence to the tune of “ sigh… you know, that song really spoke to me when nothing else did”, or of a more boisterous “oh fuck yeah, that song’s a classic” it seems like most people whose formative years were shaped around this music scene have something to say about it. More than anything, though, they had memorability, and while the tunes I listed from their 2010 sophomore record Selfish Machines definitely showed the group had what it took to make it, their 2012 effort Collide With The Sky is where I believe they truly hit their stride.Įveryone’s heard, “ King For A Day”, right? I feel like every emo kid – past, present and future – will have some story about this song.
They had energy, riffs and songwriting chops for days. With scene kid heartthrob tracks like “ Bulletproof Love” ( “my love for you was bulletproof, but you’re the one who shot me”) and “ Caraphernalia” ( “what if I can’t forget you?”) at the ready, it’s no wonder these guys hit it as big as they did – and as quickly as they did. As many post-hardcore, metalcore and generally alternative artists got their rise, so too did Pierce The Veil. One such band I’d expect to be on many hardened metal dudes’ shit list so to speak, would be Pierce The Veil.Įmerging out a local post-hardcore scene in the mid-2000s, Pierce The Veil hit the scene with a stride during the peak of the MySpace era. On a personal level, I find that to be a pretty self-limiting and silly way of going about things. Further, the natural assumption with the more sceenie weenie types of groups is that once you hit a certain age, it’s no longer cool to engage with them. Especially through adolescence, you may find that your views and priorities with the music you seek out changes entirely.
