US alternative/emo rockstars Pierce the Veil have shared a brand new song titled ‘Kiss Me Now‘ this week. The track comes alongside the band’s deluxe release of 2023 LP, The Jaws of Life (out now through Fearless Records).

On ‘Kiss Me Now‘, frontman Vic Fuentes sheds a vulnerable layer of himself, dedicating his love to his better half. Grabbing us in instinctively with moody guitars, the track encourages us to take life at a slower pace.

“Lyrically, ‘Kiss Me Now’ is a love song to my wife, Danielle, exploring the concept of fear of time passing by too fast. It was inspired by a quote I find true as I move through life. ‘There will never be a perfect time for anything.’ If you spend your life waiting for the perfect moment to do something, it may never come. I tend to overthink things, and this song reminds me to give in more often.” 

– Vic Fuentes, Pierce the Veil

Also featuring on the band’s deluxe edition of The Jaws of Life is their take on Radiohead’s ‘Karma Police’. The cover initially premiered on Triple J’s Like A Version last year. With this release still fresh in our minds, it does leave us curious as to whether we should expect Pierce the Veil to tour Australia in the not too distant future. Watch this space…!
