Pierce the Veil biografia

Rising from the ashes of former band ‘Before Today’, brothers Mike and Vic Fuentes formed Pierce The Veil and have reached heights they never would have thought possible.

The San Diego siblings formed the band in 2007 and with the support of their old label Equal Vision recorded an album’s worth of tracks just between the two of them. That album became ‘A Flair For The Dramatic’ and, after adding new members Tony Perry and Jamie Preciado, they began to build their profile with relentless touring.

They played shows throughout 2007, 2008 and some of 2009 including high profile dates on The Warped Tour and with the likes of ‘A Day To Remember’ and ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ amongst others.

Vic and Mike somehow found the time within all that touring to partner up with the likes Craig Owens and Johnny Craig to form supergroup ‘Isles & Glaciers’ however the group disbanded soon after their only release, 2010’s ‘The Hearts of Lonely People’ – some things are too good to last.

2010 also saw the band back in the studio recording what would become ‘Selfish Machines’ which went to number one on the Billboard Heatseekers Charts. And what would they do next? Well a load more touring of course!

This next wave of touring carried them through into 2012 when they released ‘Collide With The Sky’ and saw the band reach new highs of popularity. The album entered the Billboard 200 at number 12 and went on to over 100,000 copies. After winning RockSound’s band of the year in 2013, the band’s popularity continues to grow as they are really a testament to what can occur when siblings get on!

Avaliações

Pierce the Veil became my favourite band in just 2012. The fact that, two weeks later I had booked tickets to see them surely highlights how incredible they truly are. Pierce the Veil gained a lot of popularity with newest album 'Collide With the Sky' but still manage to play venues as intimate as the Camden Koko. Funnily enough, I saw them on bassist Jaime's birthday. Furthermore, he had broken his leg merely days before, but that didn't stop him from giving the greatest performance possible. In fact, everything about the show was brilliant. Endless interaction with the crowd ranging from 'It's pronounced Hi-Me!' To 'I'm doing this one acoustic so I can hear all your beautiful voices' Pierce the Veil make their shows as fun as possible for anyone attending. There were laser lights, there were drumsticks and at least ten minutes dedicated to watching Jaime throw pics at people. There was a lot of fun. They played the classics, ending with an explosive encore of 'King for a Day,' and it's obvious how much effort they put into making sure that the crowd enjoy themselves. Full of homemade confetti, torches tied to the ends of guitars and a group photo to end the night, Pierce the Veil make their low-key show a great and unforgettable experience.
