That opening riff though! On “Bulls In The Bronx,” PTV crackle with kinetic energy as Vic Fuentes spits fire in what is easily the band’s most anthemic chorus (“Maybe we’re just having too much fun”). “Sunshine, there ain't a thing that you can do that's gonna ruin my night,” Vic Fuentes shrieks, before guest screamer Jeremy McKinnon has a complete mental breakdown-“ WHAT IF I CAN’T FORGET YOU!?” It’s a good time, seriously. The music video paints a chaotic picture of a band on the road, tormented by their jealous girlfriends back home. “Caraphernelia” was easily PTV’s biggest song before they hit it big with Collide With The Sky. “The thought of you is no fucking fun,” Quinn stings. The addition of Sleeping With Sirens frontman Kellin Quinn brings the song’s arsenal to DEFCON 1. What’s not to love about this monster of a song? “ Yeah!” Vic Fuentes screams like maniac, before the band dive into down-tune chaos (thanks, Jaime), menacing riffage and even more screeching from Fuentes. In 2015, they’re one of the biggest bands in our scene, with a unique sound that is truly their own-part pop, part hardcore, part “Mexicore.” Their recent AP cover got us thinking, just which PTV tracks are our favorites? It’s time to pay tribute to the band’s top 10 songs (in no particular order), spanning three albums- A Flare For The Dramatic (2007), Selfish Machines (2010) and Collide With The Sky (2012). Pierce The Veil have come a long way from their early days when the Fuentes brothers were just playing skate-punk in Before Today.
