WAIT, SO THIS ISN’T A JOKE?
Uh, so when Elise first posted about this band, I really thought they were just another new band to make fun of for a second and that was it. But as I was walking through the mall this weekend, I passed by Hot Topic and noticed that right next to their “Free Weezy” t-shirt was an ENTIRE DISPLAY of Black Veil Brides shit, and posters everywhere advertising their album. The fact that they’re in Hot Topic doesn’t shock me, but the extent to which their being advertised there set me back a second cause that means… they have an actual audience. People LIKE that CRAP?
I have full confidence in you to watch for yourself, but if you want to save yourself the idiocy, it’s like Poison meets Attack Attack! with a hint of My Chemical Romance (which is nothing I’d ever be interested in) and this whole androgyny thing isn’t intriguing at all. It just makes me think you’re a bunch of weirdos. There was a time for that, and it was called 1984. I’m afraid to know what tweens (AND teens for that matter) are listening to these days…
