Misadventures is the upcoming fourth studio album from American post-hardcore band Pierce the Veil, set to be released on May 13, 2016.

Background

In an article by the Oakland Press the band stated they had started writing new material together with Tom Denney whilst on tour with Mayday Parade, You Me at Six and All Time Low.[1] The band finished writing new music after the winter European tour with Bring Me the Horizon in December 2013.[2][3]

In an interview with Poppy Reid of The Music Network during the band's appearance at Soundwave Festival in Australia, the band spoke on collaborating with Jenna McDougall of Tonight Alive on a track from their fourth record.[4]

Writing and recording

In May 2014, Pierce the Veil started pre-production for the new record.[5] On June 5, 2014 Tony Perry and Vic Fuentes announced they would be flying to New Jersey in order to start recording their new album with producer Dan Korneff.[6]

The band elected to reunite with producer Dan Korneff to record the album, who also co-produced the band’s third album, Collide with the Sky. The band recorded the album at his Long Island studio in multiple sessions between the summer of 2014 and the summer of 2015. Vocalist Vic Fuentes stated that “It was exciting to do another record with Dan [Korneff], we had gotten to know him really well on [our previous album], so there wasn’t that initial period where you’re trying to get to know each other. We just dove in and started to make music right away.” [7]

Commenting on the band's progression in songwriting ability, Vic Fuentes stated that “[Pierce the Veil] went into this record wanting to top the last one, which we try to do with every record, and we kept setting the bar higher and higher.” [8]

Album title

When questioned by Rock Sound on the meaning behind the album's title, lead vocalist Vic Fuentes stated that "it sort of represents our lives over the last couple of years of making this record. All the different steps that were taken, the different places it took us. Places where we wrote, places where we recorded, places where we lived, every unexpected turn that this whole thing brought us. It was one of those things where you set out with a plan and you know that sometimes things don’t go the way that you planned. That’s sort of what happened. There were all these different, unexpected turns that came our way, and us trying to find the end of the album. That’s what that title represented."[9]

Release

Plans for an upcoming album were initially announced on December 23, 2013 - the band released a holiday update announcing that they would have a new album coming out in 2014 again through Fearless Records.[10] In an interview with Alternative Press Vic Fuentes stated that the band was aiming for an early 2015 release date, pushed back from 2014.[11] The reason for the pushed back release date was due to the band being several weeks behind due to two songs which the band wrote whilst they were recording the new album in the studio with producer Dan Korneff.[11] The band's ambitions for an early 2015 release date did not surface as the album was again pushed back for a later release in 2016.[12]

On June 18, 2015, the band released "The Divine Zero", the first single from the album.[13]

On March 18, 2016, it was announced that the album would be released on May 13 through Fearless Records.[8] The album was produced by Dan Korneff.[14] The band released the second single from the album, "Texas Is Forever" on March 24, 2016.[15]

On April 26th 2016, Pierce the Veil released the album's third single, "Circles", on BBC radio and announced that they were touring the UK and Europe later in 2016.[16] The single was also released as a digital download.
