Boyce Avenue is a Latino-American band that consists of brothers Alejandro Luis Manzano, Daniel Enrique Manzano, and Fabian Rafael Manzano. They specialize in live acoustic covers that have gained a fanbase through videos of their recording sessions posted on YouTube, becoming one of the first bands to rise to fame this way. They've released an album of original songs titled All We Have Left.
Examples:
- Age-Progression Song: In the music video for "Every Breath".
- All Love Is Unrequited / Just Friends: In the song "Change Your Mind".
- Beneath the Mask: This line from "More Things to Say": "All we know is the mask and not your face".
- The Cover Changes the Meaning: A speciality of theirs, often turning infectious party tunes into smooth romantic ballads.
- Domestic Abuse: The subject of the song "Tonight" is implied to have to deal with this.
- Eyes Never Lie: From "Tonight": "But her eyes they say goodbye / No, they never lie / Windows to her life"
- Light Is Good: From "Dare to Believe": "We've been in the dark for way too long / But when we turn around we see a light shine through the haze"
- Softer and Slower Cover: Of "Teenage Dream"
by Katy Perry. The song is made much more romantic in tone and removes the Intercourse with You aspect of it. "Let's just talk all through the night, there's no need to rush." Works well. - "Well Done, Son" Guy: The subject from "Broken Angel".
- A World Half Full: "Dare to Believe". The world may be falling apart, but they'll help each other through it.
