Band Of The Year 2011

Black Veil Brides

“They just rock overall!” – Sydni Jackson, Kirkwood, MO

Frontman Andy Biersack commented on the win: “It won’t surprise anyone to hear that I believe that we should be band of the world – if not band of the universe – every year. [Laughs.] But it’s an honor. We worked very hard this year, and if anything, I’m proud of our fans for believing in what they believe in and showing it so adamantly. An accolade like this really lets you know that the people you’re connecting with are behind you and want others to know that, and to have the opportunity to mean that much to such a large number of people is really cool. And to have the opportunity to piss that many people off just by doing what you’re doing is also fun!”
