Pierce The Veil released a music video for their new single, "Emergency Contact", to celebrate the announcement that their new album, "The Jaws Of Life", will be released on February 10, 2023.

Guitarist/vocalist Vic Fuentes said of the new single, "There's so much desperation underlying the lyrics of this song. It talks about a relationship where one person is ready to take things to the next level while the other is still unsure. One person is begging the other to either move forward or to let them out because being stuck in the middle is torture.

"I wrote this song in Seattle at Mike Herrera from MXPX's home studio. He let me live there for a couple of months while working on the record. I love writing in Seattle because it gives me all of the '90s grunge rock vibes. Plus, it rains all the time, and I love the rain."

Fuentes said of the forthcoming album, "This album has truly brought us closer than we've ever been. It was extremely difficult for us to be off the road and apart for so long.

"We've never missed anything more than playing music together and never had such an strong appreciation for recording, touring, and simply being in the same room together than we do now.

"The Jaws of Life is about how life can sink its teeth into you and try to devour you. The negativity in the world and within your mind can be a vicious thing. We're extremely grateful for this record, our fans, and the opportunity to play live music again." Watch the video below:
