About - Pierce the Veil Merch

“To pierce the veil means to go directly to the source of the problem and completely cut it out. If you have a problem in your life or something that’s really bothering you and bringing you down, sometimes the best thing is just to cut it out completely… And not dwell on things and let them hurt you any longer.” – Vic Fuentes

Other members of the band include Jaime Preciado (bassist and backing vocals) and Tony Perry (lead guitar). Pierce the Veil has released three studio albums and has continuously been inducted into several worldwide tours since the release of their debut album, A Flair for the Dramatic, in 2007. The band released their second full-length studio album, titled “Selfish Machines,” in 2010. Their third and latest album, Collide with the Sky, was released in 2012 and is their first album under the major record label Fearless Records.

History

Vic and Mike Fuentes started their first band, Early Times, in 1998. After releasing an album and two EPs, they changed their name to Before Today due to copyright issues. They released an album under the new name in 2004, but the group disbanded after the departure of Joe Tancil (guitar) and Mitchell Ballatore (bass). After the disbandment of Before Today, the brothers continued to write songs together and eventually came up with enough material for a new full-length album. Still backed by their label, Equal Vision Records, they wrote and recorded an entire album on their own in Seattle, WA, with producer Casey Bates.

The brothers released the album A Flair for the Dramatic on June 26, 2007 under a new name: Pierce the Veil, which is derived from two songs from Before Today’s album, “A Celebration of an Ending” and “A Giant Purple Fox of Fright.” Soon after, Pierce the Veil acquired new members in Tony Perry (guitar) and Jaime Preciado (bass). The song “I’d Rather Die Than Be Famous” from this album was featured in the game Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground. Pierce the Veil toured vigorously for about 3 months after the release of A Flair for the Dramatic. They have toured with bands such as All Time Low, Sleeping With Sirens, A Day to Remember, Chiodos, From First to Last, Emery, The Devil Wears Prada, and Mayday Parade.
