This is your tour guide as a fast and furious descent into an album which covers a lot of heavy topics. The song itself is aggressive, but also infectious. “Dive In” is both telling in title, lyrical content, and song structure. There’s a concurrent theme lately with a lot of music albums that have come out in recent months in regards to musicians showing their unadulterated selves. With Misadventures, Pierce The Veil comes back a little scratched and scarred – a little battle tested and more personal. These are eleven tracks that perfectly bridge the gap between bringing you into their world and projecting you out of it. Listening to the album and recalling seeing the band on the festival stages surrounded by their post-hardcore contemporaries, the fans were still as devoted as ever, but the band itself had morphed into a well-oiled, veteran machine. Misadventures is everything that fans loved about 2012’s Collide with the Sky with a little more anger put in. Fans salivated over a prospect of a new album given last year’s stint on Vans Warped Tour and the release of the single, “The Divine Zero”. With an initial recording start date back in 2014, San Diego’s own, Pierce The Veil set out to top everything that they had previously done up to that point. Time has to pass and life has to just happen.

Great bands are meticulous with this sort of thing as when it has to feel genuine.
