I finished it all by taking a cheap flight up to Seattle, and I finished the last few songs up. So I had to wait for it, I had to search for it, and I think at the end of the day that’s what really made the record. The standard that I have for every record is to have it be based on my life, on the things that weigh heavy. I really wanted to search for the meaning behind each song – have each one have a good story that meant a lot to me. I wanted to stimulate my brain, go to different cities, stay in different houses and work in different studios. I wanted to travel instead of being stuck in a room. We went on tour – the tour was very, very conducive to the record – and when we did get back and it was time to work on the lyrics and really finish the thing, I wanted to do the exact opposite of what I had been doing. I felt like the four walls that I was looking at every day were not gonna inspire an amazing record, so I got out of there. I’d been in there for so long, I felt cabin fever. When we went into the studio for the first time, we were there for way too long trying to finish something that we’d felt couldn’t happen at that time. Where did you go, and what inspired that approach? You mention living all over the place to write the lyrics. It was a bit of an unexpected, crazy journey making it as well. I lived in different places all over the world, pretty much, working on this thing. I went on all kinds of journeys to do lyrics.
We ran into a lot of twists and turns, and that’s why we called it Misadventures, because we had such a crazy time creating the record we ran out of studio time, we ended up doing a world tour right smack in the middle of recording the album.
When we went to do the record, we took our time on it. So the album took us all over the place, into new territory. We kept selling records people just kept finding out about us even though it was our third full-length – it was as if we were a new band. It called for a lot of touring – we toured pretty much throughout the entire four years, and the band just kept growing. Why did it take so long to release Misadventures?įor one reason, Collide With the Sky was a huge growth album for our band. Before kicking off the festivities, Vic Fuentes spoke with Rolling Stone about the stalled release of Misadventures, trekking to different cities to write the album’s lyrics and the unexpected pains of popularity.Ĭollide With the Sky came out four years ago, and this is the longest gap you’ve had between albums. A few weeks later, the band will hop back on the road for a month-long U.S. Misadventures drops on May 13th, and that night, Pierce the Veil will celebrate the release with a show in Mexico City.
