I remember sitting on the floor of my first apartment in Hollywood, the carpet was once grey I believe but at this point it was more of a brown/black after being soaked in spilled wine and cigarette ashes….cockroaches crawled up and down the walls, leading into a kitchen that was often more of a trash collection room than a place to store or cook food. It wasn’t as if we could afford groceries anyway…just to eat we’d have to pool our money and make a trip to the nearby 711 to split a day old taquito slathered in whatever dipping sauce we could find to try to hide the taste. More often we would buy a bottle of seagrams or a handle of cheap vodka and sit around talking about the the career we were planning…at this point there was a fair amount of people in the world that knew who Black Veil Brides were..we had released a video on a shoestring budget after pulling in some favors and through that video we had gained some momentum. It was enough to garner a manager, booking agent, indie label deal…all the things you dream of when you are starting that seem unattainable… but for us…no matter how destitute we may have been…we always believed that it was just the first step haha.
We've been seeing a lot of clues lately that Black Veil Brides would be doing something new with their first album We Stitch These Wounds. They've sent out some tweets including #WSTW2013 and Jake posted some pictures from working in his studio. A couple days ago Andy posted this on his tumblr: You can read Andy's full post HERE.

The acoustic version of "Knives And Pens" was originally released as a bonus track on certain versions of We Stitch These Wounds. Now the song is available for purchase on it's own as a single. You can listen to it at Alternative Press and you can get it on iTunes here.
Check out CC's drum solo from the show in Chile, and a video of 'Knives And Pens' and 'The Legacy!' Here's a video of 'New Religion' at the show in Argentina! Black Veil Brides had their first show in Mexico on January 12, and since they're headlining this tour, they've been playing a longer set and have been able to add some songs from We Stitch These Wounds such as Knives And Pens and All Your Hate. Check out some videos below! I don't think many people have seen this video, so I thought I'd post it here. It's sort of a behind-the-scenes look at the filming of the Knives And Pens video. It follows the boy who starred in the video, David Sasik. Check it out! |
