History
Pierce the Veil made post-hardcore bright, fast and technical: intricate, almost math-rock guitar lines, sudden tempo shifts, and Vic Fuentes' high, clear tenor riding on top of it all, with screams arriving in short bursts. The band was formed in San Diego by brothers Vic and Mike Fuentes in the mid-2000s, and their Mexican-American roots showed up in the artwork, the imagery and the Latin touches in their guitar playing. Their commercial rise came with Collide with the Sky in 2012, and the single King for a Day, a duet with Kellin Quinn of Sleeping with Sirens, became one of the best-known songs of the scene at the time. Misadventures followed in 2016 after a long gestation and reached a large audience. Drummer Mike Fuentes later left the band, and after a quiet stretch Pierce the Veil returned with The Jaws of Life in 2023, a looser record with a more alternative rock feel. The constants are Vic Fuentes' voice, guitar parts that race and twist, and lyrics that mix heartbreak with dark humour.
