The Music Obsession

Interviews from 9/17/11 @ Ollie's Point

>> Hey guys! So I have been majorly slacking with the updates this month and I'm so sorry about it. I'm now in my first year of college and I'm still getting used to the idea of budgeting my time. I hate to use such a lame excuse, but it's the truth. I'm getting better with it, I promise. Even though the updates have been few and far between lately, I have been keeping up with the latest music news and going to as many shows as possible. I have a ton of show reviews to post for you guys, but I'll just leave you with these gems for now:

>> On Saturday September 17th, I was able to see This Love, Jonas Sees In Color, and This Condition at Ollie's Point in Amityville, NY. It was a great show, everyone seemed to have a great time. After the show, I got a chance to talk to Joe McFaddin, lead singer of This Love. I had to split the interview into two parts, but you can watch them both below. The interview was filmed by Kyle Gorry of Bellwether outside of the venue shortly after the last band finished. It's pretty dark but you can hear what Joe is saying, and I think that's the most important part. I also have another video from that night which I will upload as soon as possible. For now, enjoy my new interview with This Love!

Fall Tour Dates: Saves The Day + Bayside

>> Starting in October, Bayside will be co-headlining a tour of the US with Saves The Day. I Am The Avalanche and Transit will provide support for the entire tour, which runs through the middle of November. Dates can be seen below.

"I have to keep re-checking my emails to make sure I'm not imagining this tour,” says Bayside's Anthony Raneri. “It is for sure one of my favorite lineups. I've been listening to Saves The Day since high school and they're still one of my favorite bands ever. I have followed Vinnie from I Am The Avalanche since his Movielife days and have loved everything he's done with Avalanche. It's safe to say that without Saves The Day and Vinnie's work, there would never have been a Bayside. Not to mention they are some of my best friends now. Absolutely can't wait."

Pierce The Veil Signs To Fearless Records

>> After parting ways with Equal Vision, Pierce The Veil have now signed to Fearless Records. Here's a message from the band regarding the new signing:

Since we formed Pierce The Veil, we have had the strong mindset of “progress or die.” We feel that if we don’t keep pushing ourselves to do new things and get better at what we do, then there is no point in doing it. We are always looking forward to the future and we can’t wait to share it with all of you.

So with all this said, we are very proud to announce that we have signed with Fearless Records!! And just like we do with our fans, we never take anyone’s support for granted, so big thanks to the staff and everyone at Fearless, we are truly excited and grateful to be a part of this label. We’ve got tons of amazing tours and new music ahead of us! PTV is currently writing and will be doing some AWESOME tours in the Fall, including South America, Europe, and a US Co-Headliner with Miss May I that we’re calling the “No Guts No Glory Tour!” Can’t wait for you to hear the new stuff and to see all of your sexy faces at the shows!

Much Love,

-PTV

>> As mentioned above, Pierce the Veil will be co-headlining the No Guts No Glory Tour this fall with Miss May I. The full list of dates for that tour can be seen by clicking here.
