THEY have been touring non-stop since the release of their 2012 breakout album, Collide With the Sky.

And it was Manchester’s turn for Pierce The Veil earlier this month.

With an accompanying retro computer game video, showing the San Diego band crash landing in Manchester, the band emerge from the wreckage of a ‘spaceship’ to deafening screams.

Five years ago, the four-piece were playing club or opening shows.

Now they are on a UK-wide tour and every gig sold out weeks in advance, with Manchester being the first.

Opening with Dive In from the album Misadventures, the track captures the essence of the band with high energy and rousing choruses.

With tracks addressing love on Texas Is Forever and self-doubt on Sambuka, Vic Fuentes, frontman and rhythm guitarist, has maintained a particular style of music over the years.

Now sharper and more polished, the crafted songs are lapped up by a passionate fanbase who sing each lyric back to the band.

Towards the end of the night, Circles, the track inspired by the tragic circumstances of last year’s terrorist attack at the Bataclan in Paris is warmly received.

But it is King For A Day, the group’s most famous anthem which makes the show one to remember for many.

They remain a divisive band, but the show is certainly enjoyable and the confetti and smoke cannons all add to the occasion.

And Pierce The Veil are establishing their own Latino stamped impression on pop rock.

With a Download Festival debut to come next June, things are moving forward again and the sky is the limit.
