Black Veil Brides is, what we call, a screamo band. But if you look beneath the surface, you'll find that they are much more. Andy Biersack, who, for a while, went by the name Andy Six, decided that he wanted to become either a rock star or Batman. Since he couldn't become Batman (yet) he went for the alternate choice.

Andy (Andrew) first created a band called Biersack, which was replaced with Black Veil Brides in 2006, in Delhi, OH. He was born on December 26th, 1990. When he was young, he was a bit over weight and bullied. People would call him names, such as emo, or fag. By the time he was 13, he decided to lose the extra weight he had and style his hair.

He loved to wear black, as some people do, and was made fun of for it. As he got older, he realized he didn't want this to happen to anyone else, and came out with Black Veil Brides, replacing the band Biersack.

Ashley was born on January 28. He never (as far as I can find) announced his birth year publicly, and doesn't say his age. Many fans believe he is around 25-30 years old.

He was born in a small town in Missiori and moved to L.A. at a young age to pursue his dream of preforming. He also seems to be very shy.
Will post the rest soon. Bye!
