Chris, Andy's dad, sent out this message to all BVB fans: The other day I was talking to Andy on the phone. The subject of BVB’s fans came up, as it often does when we talk. As always, I was so proud to hear him talk about his respect for and acknowledgement of the incredible support and dedication of the BVB Army. As Andy told me, Black Veil Brides has always been about the fans. BVB didn’t strike a chord with people from all walks of life throughout the world just because they are a band that wears makeup on stage. Far from it. In fact, Andy feels like the band’s look and image has probably reached it’s limit. There’s a fine line between shaking things up a bit and crossing over into what’s fast becoming cliche. Look at all the bands out there, now, who are trying to catch lightning in a bottle by changing their own look to one more like BVB’s. To Andy (and to so many of the band’s hardcore fans) Black Veil Brides has always been less about image and more about giving a voice to the voiceless. I don’t think it’s bragging to point out that BVB has inspired thousands, if not millions, of people to have the courage to be ourselves and to say “fuck you and your shitty opinion” to anyone who thinks they have the right to judge us. We are not, by and large, the popular chicks or the cool dudes. We’re the comic book nerds, the pro wrestling fans, etc… The guys in BVB may all be decent looking, but, Andy never thought BVB would be sexy. That was the last thing on his mind when he founded this band. BVB was never meant to be cool. The war paint and the stage attire was meant to be a reflection of the anger that the band and their fans had towards those who tried to put them down and keep them there. BVB is loud and it’s aggressive. BVB is about letting out your frustration on stage or in the crowd in a healthy, positive way. It’s about including others in our fun because we know how it feels to be excluded. It’s about feeling like we are all a part of something bigger and greater than ourselves. It’s not about proving how much of a ”rock star” we can be. BVB works because the band’s core message comes from a place that very few “rock stars” can truly relate to. But, it’s a place that so many of us (the BVB fans) can understand. Isolated. Ostracized. Criticized. We turn inward and focus on what makes us tick. Our passion. We come out of it with skill and become a positive example for others who are dealing with the same things. Use the pain you experience and the lessons learned to encourage others that they can do the same. Strip away the makeup, the big hair and the leather stage gear and, at its very core, that is what Black Veil Brides is all about.

Black Veil Brides is going to be touring the UK pretty soon, and they just announced that before their show at Picturehouse in Edinburgh they'll be doing a signing at Pulp Edinburgh! The signing starts at 5pm and you need a wristband to attend which you can get starting Saturday, March 24 at the store. There are only 200 wristbands total and there will be 50 at Pulp Glasgow and 25 will be available at 9am on the day of the signing (March 28). Go HERE for full details!
Bring Back Glam posted a review of Black Veil Brides' set from one of the Soundwave shows and it sounds like he really liked the show!
"Black Veil Brides took the stage 20 minutes late, and left 10 minutes early, so they did a 30 minute set, not an hour as advertised. So, we only got six songs, but it was definitely the highlight of the whole festival for me. The place was packed, but I think me and my friend were the only people over 18, and certainly males were very much in a minority. Everyone seemed to know all the songs, and to be very much in to the show. Black Veil Brides look like Motley Crue in 1984 and they even play BC Rich guitars. I bet most people in the audience have no idea who is being referenced, but it made for a very visual show, and they sounded great. After 30 minutes, we were covered in sweat and shuffling out while "The Used" started their set to less than half the people who had been in for Black Veil Brides." Read his full review HERE.
