It's so close you can taste the dirt from the fieldġ1. Finally, February hits and you realize spring training is around the cornerġ0. The MLB app is your best friend even though it only updates every once in forever and you've read every article twiceĩ. But then you tell everybody how the trade is going to be the best thing ever and it'll be the key to winning the World SeriesĨ. And your team makes some crazy trade deal and you question everythingħ. Then it's January and you and your other baseball friends console each otherĦ. But then you realize the NBA just can't competeĥ.

And you debate trying to be a basketball fanatic you even join a fantasy basketball leagueĤ. Then it's the middle of December and you start having withdrawalsģ. "Diamonds" is a song that deserves more though - if not only for the song writing and the illusions made by them.Īnd you're upset about that and that baseball is over for a few months. All of the albums big singles are featured in the beginning of the album, so its an honest mistake for a casual fan to drop off listening after those songs. "Diamonds And Why Men Buy Them", which describes what could be interpreted as a backseat, drunk tryst that developed feelings in the form of a teenage angst drama, is a later song on the album. With extreme hits like "Currents Convulsive", "Yeah Boy And Dollface" and "Chemical Kids And Mechanical Brides", "A Flair For The Dramatic" is memorable in its own right but not to the extent that it's operatic choruses deserve. This album, not only was PTV's first venture as a band, but is also so sickly sweet and twisted that it has a charm that not many bands of it's age could've pulled off. "A Flair For The Dramatic" is widely known as PTV's most underrated album, for reasons that are unknown to me. "Diamonds And Why Men Buy Them" - A Flair For The Dramatic (2007) Memorable lyrics: /Call me if you're crashing/ we'll take turns/Ģ. Adding in guitarist Tony Perry and bass guitarist Jaime Preciado, you have a musicial brotherhood that just works in all the best ways. Now the singer/guitarist and drummer of PTV respectively, the brothers can boast that they've been in the business for almost 20 years. The band was created out of the remnants of a previous band (created in 1998) - Before Today - which included brothers Vic and Mike Fuentes.

Hailing from San Diego, CA, Pierce The Veil has been a band for 10 years (officially just this fall).
