Name Origin:
Ashley Purdy explained:
"Black Veil Brides is a Roman Catholic term used for when a woman marries into the church and gives
up all the pleasures of life to devote her life to God. She is then deemed a Black Veil Bride.
Sorta similar to a rock band where you have to give up many things in pursuit of what you're
passionate about or believe in.
It also has the dichotomy of the positive and negative.
The happiest time in one's life, could be getting married. And the opposite of that in one's
life would be at a funeral of a loved one. It all tends to fit really well for a dark and heavy rock band"

Quotes:
"We carry a message of believing in yourself and letting no one tell you otherwise. We stand up for the
underdog and the disenfranchised. Anything strange, odd, or unique- we embrace that. So basically
standing up for yourself; have fun and live your life how you choose. You only have one life, make
the most of it"
