Pierce The Veil Tickets : The Band Recorded Another Ep Titled Roots Beneath Ideals

Pierce the Veil was founded by Mike and Vic Fuentes and started their first band in 1998 under the name Early Times

. Their first recording was titled No Turning Back, an 11 song release which quickly circulated through the local scene, landing them their first gigs and marking the beginning of their life as thirsty and eager musicians. This release was followed shortly by a 4 song, untitled EP.

Following the relative success of this release, the band recorded another EP titled Roots Beneath Ideals, and continued to build their fan base into a solid foundation. This EP eventually made it into the hands of record label owner Steve Reddy of Equal Vision Records, who signed them shortly after seeing them perform a hometown show in San Diego.

Armed with their first record deal just out of high school, they released their first major label album A Celebration of an Ending under a new band name: Before Today, which is the title of a song off the No Turning Back album. The name change was the result of copyright issues on the original name "Early Times". The album contained re-recordings of the 3 songs from the Roots Beneath Ideals EP and was recorded at DoubleTime studios in El Cajon, California, with producer Jeff Forrest.

During August 2009, Pierce the Veil announced that they were currently in studio recording new material for their next album. After a few months off the road and building anticipation for their sophomore release, the band moved to Los Angeles to record their most recent album Selfish Machines with Producer Mike Green. Singer and lyricist Vic Fuentes stated, "The title refers to human nature and the animal-like qualities inside all of us that we try and hide, but should just learn to accept. We are all selfish machines and we all have natural tendencies to want, love, and take."

Selfish Machines was released on June 21, 2010 under Equal Vision Records and made it to #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. In support of the release, the band played a number of festivals including Bamboozle Left, South by Southwest, Never Say Never Festival, and the Vans Warped Tour. The band also contributed a cover of Blue Oyster Cult's classic song "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" to the Punk Goes Classic Rock compilation, released on April 27, 2010.

They were a part of the Take Action Tour with Attack Attack! that went to New Zealand and Australia, and also played on the Versus Tour in Japan with Confide. They recently ended the "This Is a Family Tour" with Emmure, In Fear and Faith, Of Mice & Men, and Attack Attack!, which lasted until late December 2010. Pierce the Veil also played at the Fox Theater in Pomona as a surprise appearance as part of the Alternative Press Tour 2010 with bands such as August Burns Red, Bring Me the Horizon, Polar Bear Club, Emarosa, and This Is Hell.

On November 1, 2010, the band announced that they will be kicking off 2011 touring with Silverstein, Miss May I, The Chariot, and A Bullet For Pretty Boy on the "Winterizer Tour". Throughout March and April, Pierce The Veil will be a part of "The Gamechanger's Tour" with A Day to Remember, Bring Me The Horizon, and label mates We Came as Romans. They will also be co-headlining the second leg of Escape the Fate's headlining tour "The Dead Masquerade."On August 23, 2011, Pierce the Veil signed with Fearless Records.
