Black Veil Brides Frontman Promises Band Will Not Sell Out
. Frontman Andy Biersack says that won't happen. In an interview with Radio.com, Biersack explains that although "Goodbye Agony," from their new self-titled album, could be the band's most mass-appeal song to date, he had no false hopes of writing a cross-format smash. "I don't think that we sat down with the intention of writing a song that had mass appeal," Biersack says. "To say this is our cross-over song�because to be fair, in 2014 that's kind of a fool's errand to say were going to write a cross-over song for a hard rock band. Sort of like saying you're going to be a rotary phone salesman and you're going to paint your phones red so people will buy them. The fact is that we are a rock and roll band, and sometimes that isn't the most popular thing in the world." Ultimately, Biersack says, "you really want to write the best song you can write, 'cause at the end of the day the records are going to sell what they're going to sell." Biersack says that he and his band are "very fortunate that we've had multiple top ten records, but by the same token none of us are becoming millionaires off it, and we're not getting that, 'Oh, this is that song of the decade' and 'This is the song everyone is going to dance to at their high school prom.' That's the intention, but it's just very unlikely." Read more here. Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
