The Jaws of Life, Pierce the Veil's fifth album, landed on February 10, 2023, on Fearless Records, their first new music since 2016's Misadventures. It's also the first Pierce the Veil record without drummer Mike Fuentes, who had started the San Diego band with his brother Vic in 2006; Brad Hargreaves of Third Eye Blind sat in behind the kit instead.
That leaves Vic Fuentes, Jaime Preciado on bass and Tony Perry on lead guitar holding the core together, and the songs hit hard and swing wide, Fuentes's high, urgent voice riding over thick, fuzzed-up guitars. "Pass the Nirvana" kicked things off as the first single in September 2022, "Emergency Contact" arrived with the album announcement that November, and the band finally got around to writing a title track. Critics mostly approved, and in 2025 "So Far So Fake" took off as a sleeper hit.
