Pierce The Veil
Band San Diego United States Formed 2006
Pierce The Veil formed in 2006 in San Diego, United States. Pierce The Veil has 17 chart appearances on 15 radio countdowns from 8 stations on RockLists, spanning 2016–2025. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “So Far So Fake”, which appears on 5 lists with a best position of #4. The station that charted Pierce The Veil most often is 91X (San Diego, CA / Tijuana), with 4 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2025.
Pierce the Veil got going in San Diego in 2006, when brothers Vic and Mike Fuentes started over after their old band, Before Today, a product of the local punk scene, broke up. Vic sings and plays guitar, bass and keys, Mike pounded the drums until 2017, and Jaime Preciado on bass and Tony Perry on lead guitar came aboard in 2007.
Their sound is post-hardcore with a flair for melodrama: frantic, intricate guitar lines, sudden tempo swerves, Vic's high, yearning voice going toe-to-toe with the screams. A Flair for the Dramatic arrived in 2007 and Selfish Machines in 2010, and Collide with the Sky, their first on Fearless Records, landed in 2012 with "King for a Day" leading the charge. They've toured the world and picked up an Alternative Press Music Award for Best Live Band.
Misadventures, in 2016, was the big, glossy follow-up, with the soaring "Circles" and "Floral and Fading", and after a hiatus they returned with The Jaws of Life in 2023, trading some of the chaos for fuzzier, heavier grooves on "Emergency Contact" and "Pass the Nirvana".
