“Light Fighter sparks a new direction for this traditionally Southern-sounding, alt-county sextet from Lubbock, Texas, which last year faced tragedy when the band’s equipment trailer—containing more than 3,000 of its records—burned to the ground in the carport of singer/guitarist Daniel Fluitt’s home. Over the course of 12 haunting tracks, Light Fighter pulses with haunting harmonies, builds and breaks with driving crescendos and intricate instrumentation, then is capped off with Fluitt’s honest, rough voice, which is as much an instrument itself as the steel guitars, violin and drums. Thrift Store Cowboys have meshed genres, blurred black and white and created an LP that plays dark, indie and folk.”

BandMerch was the clear decision in choosing a merchandising supplier for our team who works effectively and efficiently for us. Thanks BandMerch and the entire staff."
Black Veil Brides is currently headlining the Hot Topic Presents: The Sacred Ceremony Tour, along with Vampires Everywhere!, Modern Day Escape, and Get Scared in support of their highly anticipated debut full-length album, We Stitch These Wounds, releasing July 20th by Standby/Victory Records.
Jason Dell, BandMerch’s Chief Operating Officer says, “Black Veil Brides have brilliantly marketed themselves to their fans. It is encouraging to see a band this talented and creative; both musically and entrepreneurially, get noticed by the music industry. BandMerch is proud to be among the first to take note, and honored to be part of their team.”
In conjunction with the band’s album release and headlining tour, BandMerch is calling for entries to a special sweepstakes giveaway featuring Black Veil Brides signed memorabilia.
