Pierce The Veil has officially unveiled (no pun intended) its new video.
The video for ‘Circles,’ the band’s new single started running nationwide this morning on AMTV, AMTV2, MTV Hits, MTV Live and mtvU. The video began running this morning at 6:00 ET. It is also running live on MTV’s Snapchat Discovery channel and via Vevo. It was directed by Drew Russ, who also directed the video for the band’s 2012 video for ‘King For A Day.’ That video has accumulated more than 70 million views since its premiere roughly four years ago. The concept behind the band’s new video is loosely based on the 1991 feature film Nothing But Trouble. The movie was written by Dan Akroyd (Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters 2, The Blues Brothers) and starred Chevy Chase (National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Funny Farm, Fletch), John Candy (Uncle Buck, Who’s Harry Crumb?, Spaceballs), and Akroyd. The song is currently a Top 40 Alternative radio stations across America. The band’s new album Misdaventures premiered at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart. And the band itself was nominated for Bandom of the Year by MTV in its annual “MTV Fandom Awards.” Later this summer the band will embark on the “Made To Destroy Tour” alongside supporting acts Neck Deep and I Prevail. A Winter UK tour is already set to follow from October 29th to November 17th. The band’s complete tour schedule is noted below.
