This version leaves the characteristic style of this generational anthem well marked and clear, the new version is another testimony of his musical skill, giving a new and fresh sound to the song.
The band shares about this version: “We are products of MTV from the 80s and 90s, so songs like 'Karma Police' live deep in our heads since childhood. We unearthed this as an opportunity to enjoy working with something familiar. We took inspiration from the memories and emotions that the song evokes in us, we created a version that reflects where we come from as a band. We were happy to discover that the song was still haunting and beautiful, even when worked through distortion pedals and heavy guitars.”
Achieving a perfect fusion between post-hardcore intensity and the emotional depth of the original, Pierce The Veil is known for giving his fans a complete experience at his concerts, making them unforgettable. This summer, Pierce the Veil will tour the United States and Canada as the opening act for blink-182's “one more time” tour.
