Pierce The Veil – Misadventures

Upon an initial play through, it would be easy to simply categorise the new record from San Diego post-hardcore group Pierce The Veil as simple pop-punk with occasional aggressive elements. However this record is much more deep and nuanced than it first appears.

The song writing throughout the album is much more emotive than it first seems, and therefore begs for repeated listens as you can pick up new narrative points with each replay.

Instrumentally the band is as strong as ever, easily flowing from pop-punk to more aggressive punk when necessary.

While the four year wait between records was agonising for fans the outcome is well worth it.
