New in: merch.

So a while ago I participated in this giveaway on tumblr, where I had to tell what certain bands meant to me, and how music had influenced my life. I got an email back telling me that she liked my stories a lot and she had chosen me and another girl to win her competition. I got extremely excited, and it's actually my second giveaway I've ever won!

I had to choose two bands that I wanted some merchandise from and I chose Of Mice & Men and Pierce The Veil. I like both bands a lot (which some of you might've noticed) and I don't own any merch from either band.

Last week she sent me the stuff, and not even a week later, today, I received it. It came all the way from the states, and I had no idea it'd be here so fast. I thought I had to get my mum to pick up the package at the post office, because I thought it'd arrive when I was in England, which would mean that I'd have to write a power of attorny.

But now, thanks to the sweet Kelsie, I'm the proud owner of an Of Mice & Men t-shirt and wristband and a Pierce The Veil wristband.

Thanks so much, Kelsie!

Sidenote: if I suddenly change my language or something, it's just to make it more for everyone - I know for a fact that I have more Danish readers, so yeah.

Road To Manila.

Yesterday Emma and I went to see a Danish band live in Copenhagen. They're called Road To Manila and their music is actually pretty awesome.

We'd already seen them twice before - both times as a supporting band for The Dead Lay Waiting, once in November last year in Copenhagen and another in June this year in Kolding. But both of those times TDLW kind of had my attention and I didn't really focus too much on the supporting bands. But Emma asked me if I wanted to come with her, because she had discovered how awesome they really are, and I said yes, because, well.. It's a concert and I didn't dislike them. They made a mini CD back in August and I downloaded the songs (for free on their website!) and listened to them, which made me realise that they were in fact pretty good. But seeing them live yesterday, focusing all my attention on them made me realise exactly how awesome they were.

So of course we had to buy some of their merch. We actually only planned to buy their CD since they were pretty cheap, but their old demo was free, and then they convinced us to buy two t-shirts. We only did that because we could get them for half prize, haha!

If you feel like it, you can check them out HERE and HERE. I promise their music is good! If you're worrying about the genre, I can tell you that they see their own music as melodic hardcore.
