Pierce the Veil is an American rock band from San Diego, California, whose unique genre of music is sometimes referred to as “Mexicore” by fans. Formed in 2006, the group was founded by brothers Vic and Mike Fuentes after the disbandment of the group Early Times which was formed out of the San Diego punk rock scene. Pierce the Veil has released two 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. A new album, titled “Collide With The Sky,” was recently announced for release on July 17th, 2012, under the label Fearless Records.
A lot has happened in the three years since Pierce The Veil released their debut A Flair For The Dramatic in 2007. The band have toured the world including Warped Tour in 2008 and Taste Of Chaos in 2009; converted countless fans to their unique brand of progressive post-hardcore; and, most notably, grown as both people and musicians from these cumulative experiences. All of this figures into the group’s long-awaited sophomore release Selfish Machines, an album that sees the band-frontman Vic Fuentes, drummer Mike Fuentes, guitarist Tony Perry and bassist Jaime Preciado-coming together to craft an inventive album that is certain to challenge people’s perception of the band.
Pierce the Veil are proud to announce a UK & Ireland tour this Autumn. The tour, which was announced with the premiere of stunning new single ‘Circles’ on the Annie Mac show tonight, goes on sale Friday 29th April at 10am. Fans who have pre-ordered the album will have access to a 48 hour pre-sale from Wednesday 27th April at 9am.
‘Circles’ is available to purchase over all platforms or streaming on youtube.
Misadventures is the follow up to the band’s breakthrough album, 2012’s Collide With The Sky that has sold more than 400,000 copies worldwide. The band – Vic Fuentes/vocals, guitar, Tony Perry/guitar, Jaime Preciado/bass, and Mike Fientes/drums – recorded Misadventures on and off between Summer 2014 and Summer 2015, working again with producer Dan Korneff who co-produced Collide.

ABOUT PIERCE THE VEIL
Six years ago, Pierce the Veil was playing small clubs and side stages at Warped and other music festivals. With the 2012 release of their album Collide with the Sky, PTV exploded, selling out North American and UK headline tours in 2012, 2013, and 2014, and headlining 2015’s Warped Main Stage. The band spent years actively developing relationships with its fans through meet’n’greets while on tour (numerous poignant stories told to the band by fans have found their way into PTV’s songs) and extensive social media outreach, all of which has established the band’s massive, passionate and fiercely loyal fan base. The band and its members have accumulated north of 5.5-million Facebook “likes,” as well as 4.5 million Twitter and 4.5 milliion Instagram followers, and 200-million-plus YouTube plays (the “King for a Day” video alone is at more than 64-million views). Collide has been streamed 110 million times on Spotify, while the single “King for a Day” has logged 27-million Spotify plays and the single has been certified Gold. The band has won multiple awards from Alternative Press,Revolver, Kerrang! and Rock Sound.
