Before Alter Bridge, Myles Kennedy was in a band called The Mayfield Four. I checked them out because I love all things Myles. My favorite song is “Sick and Wrong,” which comes from 2001’s Second Skin — my album of the week.

Black Veil Brides to Re-Record ‘We Stitch These Wounds’ + Three Nights at The Roxy
2019 marks the ten-year anniversary of Black Veil Brides. To commemorate this, the band plans to re-record its debut album, We Stitch These Wounds. Front man Andy Biersack told Loudwire that they didn’t feel the album was “representative, sonically, of the rest of our catalog.”
“We feel that a lot of the songs on that album are very strong, but have never been given their day in court, so to speak,” Biersack adds.
The anniversary celebration doesn’t end there. Not only is Black Veil Brides re-recording We Stitch These Wounds, they are also releasing every demo from back then and a live DVD with never-before-seen footage.

In the meantime, BVB has decided to take it back to the early days of their career and play a three night run at The Roxy in West Hollywood. The shows are scheduled for Thursday, October 18th; Friday, October 19th; and Saturday, October 20th. (The last one is sold out.)
In other news, Andy will be releasing his second solo album some time in 2019, as well. It’s going to be a good year for BVB fans.
