Backstage Pass: Retro Edition – Episode 9

SHOW: IndieUprising #11
AIR DATE: Wed, 27 June 2007

I discovered Pierce The Veil in 2007 when I received the Equal Vision press release announcing their debut album, A Flair For The Dramatic which released the week of this original podcast. I was able to talk to lead singer Vic Fuentes about the album and the band. I’m glad that Pierce The Veil has continued, unlike so many of the bands I had interviewed. Now on Fearless Records, their newest album Collide With The Sky was released in 2012 and it’s their best yet. The band has also released a documentary called This Is A Wasteland documenting their most recent world tour.
