"Caraphernelia"- Pierce The Veil ft. Jeremy McKinnon

Song: Caraphernelia
Album: Selfish Machines
Singer: Pierce The Veil ft. Jeremy McKinnon (ADTR)
Genre: Post Hardcore
Rating: *****

 

So, this is one of my favorite bands, with the singer from my absolute favorite band (A Day To Remember) and when I found out about this song I almost creamed with joy- and then I heard it. It. Is. Perfect. 

Although Vic (PTV singer) can, and does scream, this song just isn't the same without Jeremy's slightly more aggressive vocals. 

 

"Caraphernelia" Lyrics 

 

 If any of you watched the All I Want (ADTR) video and are very observant, you will see that where Jeremy is in this video, Vic is for a short amount of time in that video! Clever huh? Any way great song, great band, great singer.

 

 This is my favorite PTV song, it's called Bulls In The Bronx and as you can probably tell, the band are all originally Mexican and they try to incorporate their roots into some of their songs. (If you play guitar, the solo is INCREDIBLY fun to play. Pretty easy to!)

*** And... All Time Low was AMAZING. Oh my god!!! First we saw Tonight Alive who are incredible, then in the break we went to the VIP bar (we had backstage passes) and I stood about 2m away from THE Jack Barakat ( :0 )!!! Then I walked past Adam Elmakias THREE times and I almost said hi but I didn't wanna interrupt his working... He is taller than he looks in pictures/ on youtube just so you know... (If you don't know who Adam is, he is an incredibly talented photographer who tours all over the world with the best bends ever!! This is his blog: Adam Elmakias' blog 

So anyway, All Time Low = AWESOME! I was in the standing bit just off to the right, really close to the stage. They are just so talented- especially live, and the atmosphere was amazing. I don't know how else to explain it to you unless you've been to one of their gigs. If you have, share your experience in the comments!! *** 



And I'm sorry, I don't know what is going on with the font/size of this post... 

'Weightless'- All Time Low

Song: Weightless
Album: Nothing Personal
Singer: All Time Low
Genre: Pop Punk
Rating: *****

So firstly- IT'S 10 DAYS UNTIL I SEE ALL TIME LOW LIVE AND I'M SO EXITED YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. Sorry ;)

So I completely love this song, it was the first song of ATL's that I ever heard and it's really cool. I can really relate to it, which I practically never say about songs. I don't really know what to say apart from that it's amazing. All their songs are, and you have to set aside a Sunday (or any day of the week, a just thought Sunday is a good example!) and listen to all of their albums on YouTube or Spotify or iTube or something like that!

'Weightless' Lyrics 

 

And just by watching this video, you can tell that they aren't afraid to make a bit of a fall out of themselves, which I love <3<3<3<3
 They have so many amazing songs you should check out, but this one has been stuck in my head all day. It's called 'For Baltimore' because, well, they are from Baltimore... Obviously... 

(Sorry, technical fault, I'll try to add a video another time but please feel free to search it yourself! There is no official video but just go for a lyric video, they're just as good.)

One more thing, I just saw that people from the UK, USA, China and even Poland view my blog!!! Thats amazing, thank you so much. I'm getting on average 3 views per day (which isn't great but it's something) so all you guys should tell your friends :)

Also, you guys NEVER comment. Literally- I have not got even one comment on any of my posts :( so maybe you can comment on this one...? 

Haha thanks to my regular viewers, I really appreciate it :D

Wish me luck for the ATL gig next week!! It's on the 15th if anybody who reads this is going...? Bye!

Just in case you were wondering, I didn't make it to the ADTR gig I told you about in my first post. It was a week ago today and from the videos on youtube it was absolutely incredible and that makes me happy for them but sad for me :( BUTTT..... Jeremy and Neil did a live Q&A on Friday (that you can find on youtube) and it was really funny :D


I also found out that two of my other favorite bands, All Time Low and Fall Out Boy are playing in London really soon... *makes plans that will fail*




*evil laugh*...
