Complete List Of Pierce The Veil Albums And Discography presents a look at the catalog of an American rock band that was formed in 2006 in San Diego, California. Originally emerging as a post-hardcore outfit, the band has diversified its sound over the years to include elements of emo, pop-punk, and alternative rock. The band was formed by brothers Vic and Mike Fuentes, who had previously played in the group Before Today. Vic serves as the band’s vocalist and rhythm guitarist, while Mike is the drummer. They were later joined by lead guitarist Tony Perry and bassist Jaime Preciado, completing the four-piece lineup.

The band made its debut with the album A Flair for the Dramatic in 2007, which was released under Equal Vision Records and produced by Casey Bates. The album was met with positive reviews and was a reasonable commercial success for a debut album in the genre. It set the stage for the band’s unique blend of aggressive musical elements with melodic hooks, a formula they would refine in their future works.

In 2010, Pierce the Veil released their second album, Selfish Machines. The album was produced by Vic Fuentes and Mike Green and was again released under Equal Vision Records. It received a warmer critical reception than their debut and marked a maturation in their songwriting. Songs from this album, such as “Bulletproof Love,” have become some of the band’s most enduring hits.

Their third album, Collide with the Sky, was released in 2012 and proved to be a major breakthrough. It debuted at No. 12 on the Billboard 200, selling more than 27,000 copies in its first week. The album featured collaborations with Kellin Quinn of Sleeping with Sirens and Jason Butler of Letlive. Its success catapulted the band into larger venues and significantly larger audiences, solidifying their place in the modern rock scene.

In 2016, the band released their fourth studio album, Misadventures. The album debuted at number 4 on the Billboard 200 chart and was met with widespread critical acclaim. It was noted for its musical experimentation and lyrical depth, touching on themes ranging from personal struggles to sociopolitical commentary.

Pierce the Veil is known for their energetic live performances and has toured extensively, often sharing the stage with bands like Sleeping with Sirens, All Time Low, and Bring Me the Horizon. They’ve also been featured in multiple Warped Tours and have garnered a fiercely loyal fan base over the years.
