Pierce the Veil's 'The Jaws of Life' tour, which stopped at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston, Massachusetts, on November 21st, was a night to remember. The evening featured a diverse lineup of bands, including local favorites Dayseeker, Destroy Boys, LS Dunes, and headliners Pierce the Veil.

The show kicked off with Pierce the Veil's electrifying set, which included fan-favorite tracks like 'Permanent Rebellion,' 'Grey Veins,' 'It Takes Time,' '2022,' and 'Old Wounds.' Frontman Anthony Green's energetic stage presence and soulful vocals captivated the crowd, as he swung his mic while belting out the band's emotive lyrics.

Formed in 2022 during the pandemic, Pierce the Veil is a supergroup of sorts, featuring an impressive lineup of musicians including guitarists Frank Iero and Travis Stever, bassist Tim Payne, and drummer Tucker Rule. The band's setlist was expertly curated, with songs like 'Dreamstate,' 'Burial Plot,' 'Without Me,' and 'Sleeptalk' showcasing their ability to craft infectious, anthemic choruses.

Next up was Dayseeker, a California-based band known for their captivating live performances. Vocalist Rory Rodriguez's soulful voice soared through the venue as they delivered an energetic eight-song set, featuring tracks like 'Drink,' 'Crybaby,' 'Muzzle,' and 'Beg for the Torture.' The crowd was enthralled by the band's infectious energy and engaging stage presence.

Following Dayseeker was Destroy Boys, a punk rock outfit from California that pleasantly surprised with their unique sound. Although I had never heard of them before, they quickly won me over with their catchy hooks and high-energy performance. Their setlist featured songs like 'Drink,' 'Crybaby,' 'Muzzle,' and 'Beg for the Torture.' The band's camaraderie was palpable, as they bounced around the stage and interacted enthusiastically with the crowd.

Finally, LS Dunes brought their unique blend of post-hardcore and punk rock to the stage. Their music is enjoyable, especially for fans of black metal. Vocalist Alexia Roditis and Violet Mayugba's haunting harmonies added an atmospheric quality to their songs, while Narsai Malik's pounding drums and David Orozco's driving basslines propelled the band forward.

The night was a masterclass in nostalgia and new memories, with each band bringing their own unique energy to the stage. Pierce the Veil's 'The Jaws of Life' tour is a must-see for fans of post-hardcore and punk rock, and I'm already looking forward to their next stop on this sonic journey through melancholy and fury.
