“The Divine Zero” is the first song of theirs that caught my interest before the release of Misadventures. One of the best parts about seeing Pierce The Veil live is getting to hear the stories behind some of their songs. They played the fastest song they’ve ever written, “Texas is Forever,” which made their already technical guitar parts more thrilling as we watched guitarist, Tony Perry, concentrate even more than usual. They’re another one of those bands with such distinct lyrics that listeners could have heard a song like “Caraphernelia” one time and already know how the chorus goes. Pierce The Veil radiated nothing but positive energy from the beginning to the end of their set.
There was a countdown as graphics from their Misadventures album artwork projected onto the curtain and then as the graphics had a crumbling effect, the curtain fell too and the stage crew hurried to get it out of the way. Similarly to previous tours that the band has done, a white curtain covers the stage and is ready to drop when they come out. Pierce The Veil was late coming out on stage, but that’s understandable considering it’s the second night of tour and a lot goes into orchestrating their live performance. Neck Deep finished their set with their song “Can’t Kick Up The Roots” which crushes a major pop-punk stereotype by expressing their love for their hometown rather than wanting to leave it behind.

There’s the original acoustic version on the album, and then there’s a full band edition featuring Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus and another edition featuring Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional. This was followed by “December,” but the acoustic guitar went away and they played it as a full band because they recently re-released it that way. “Lime St.” is one of Neck Deep’s most catchy songs and despite how little I’ve listened to Life’s Not Out To Get You, I was singing along to the entire chorus by the end of the song.Īs always, they played their most popular track, “A Part Of Me,” and vocalist, Ben Barlow, had the crowd sing the guest vocal part where Laura Whiteside sings on the recording. “Rock Bottom” was especially interesting to watch and listen to live because of the punchy bass lines throughout the song from bassist, Fil Thorpe-Evans. This was only their second time ever playing “Threat Level Midnight,” “I Hope This Comes Back To Haunt You,” and “Rock Bottom” live, so they were a little bit nervous, but sounded great. It’s their most impressive record to date, and it’s been incredible to watch them grow since I first saw them in 2014. UK pop-punk band, Neck Deep, kept things moving with a set composed almost entirely of songs from their 2015 release, Life’s Not Out To Get You. The band also played songs from their upcoming album, Lifelines, which is out on October 21st via Fearless Records. This show was my first time listening to I Prevail, so I would’ve preferred that they played as many originals as possible for me to get a solid feel for their music, but the covers did give new listeners something to sing during their set. They played a cover medley of songs by Pantera, Linkin Park, and Rage Against the Machine which led into their cover of “Blank Space” by Taylor Swift that was on the most recent ‘Punk Goes Pop’ compilation album through Fearless Records. I Prevail was a great way to kick off this high energy tour. Portland was the second stop of the tour on Sunday night.ĭoors opened late, but the show still started on time which caused many people to miss part of I Prevail’s set because the line outside was wrapped all the way around the block.
Pierce The Veil recently began their fall tour with Neck Deep and I Prevail.
