Pierce The Veil is an American post-hardcore band from
San Diego, California, formed in 2007. The group was founded by brothers Vic
(lead vocals, rhythm guitar and keyboards) and Mike Fuentes (drums and percussion).
Other band members include Tony Perry with lead guitar and Jaime Preciado with
bass and backing vocals. The band has already released three studio albums – A Flair for the Dramatic (2007), Selfish Machines (2010) and Collide with the Sky (2012).
Pierce The Veil, on August 23 (2011), signed with Fearless Records. Their first
single from the new album – “King For a Day” – features vocalist Kellin
Quinn of Sleeping With Sirens and it was followed by “Bulls
In The Bronx”, their
second single to be released, now with an official music video ready to be
seen.
“Bulls In The Bronx”, according to the band´s lead singer Vic Fuentes, was inspired by the story
of a 19 year old Australian girl called Olivia
Penprazes, who, after years of cyber bullying, committed suicide. The song
is very powerful, such is the music video, which tells a love story between a
boy and girl.
In 2012, Pierce the Veil appeared at #33 in Rock Sound Magazine´s best albums of the year list and won Best Live Band of the Year, Album of the Year and also Artist of the Year in a reader´s poll
conducted by Alternative Press. They
are now nominated for Best International Newcomer, Best Single, Best Video and Best International Band at the Relentless Kerrang! Awards 2013. You can vote for them at: http://awards.kerrang.com/
