context_page_description: Selfish Machines is the second studio album by American rock band Pierce the Veil, released by Equal Vision Records on June 22, 2010. Produced by Vic Fuentes and Mike Green, it was recorded between late 2009 and early 2010. Fuentes wrote most of the songs himself, and co-wrote three songs with ex-A Day to Remember guitarist Tom Denney.
  Vocalist Jeremy McKinnon, also of A Day to Remember, was featured on the track "Caraphernelia", which had its music video released on September 28, 2010. "Bulletproof Love" was released as the follow-up music video on July 7, 2011. Though there was a varied critical reception to the album, with reviewers criticizing the use of Auto-Tune on the tracks, it appeared on several American Billboard charts, including its Top Heatseekers and the top 200 chart. It was reissued, with remixed production, on September 24, 2013.

Before its release, "The Boy Who Could Fly" was available for streaming on the band's MySpace account, and for free download from their PureVolume account on May 10. On June 20, the album was made available for streaming through AOL Music. Selfish Machines was released two days later. "She Makes Dirty Words Sound Pretty", a bonus track included with iTunes versions of the album, is a Vic Fuentes and Jonny Craig song recorded in 2007. A deluxe edition of the album included a bonus, "The Making Of" DVD. A few days after its release, the band went on the Warped Tour. The album was released in Australia on July 9, and in Japan on August 4; both editions contained exclusive bonus tracks.
  From September 10 to 19, the band went on the Take Action Tour in Australia. On September 27, a music video for "Caraphernelia" was released. It was filmed in Los Angeles, and directed by Robby Starbuck, while the band was on the Warped Tour. Pierce the Veil was a supporting act on Attack Attack!'s This Is a Family Tour from November to December 2010, Silverstein's US tour in January 2011, and A Day to Remember and Bring Me the Horizon from March through April. A music video for "Bulletproof Love" was announced on June 28, and released on July 7. It had been filmed in May in Los Angeles with director Dan Dobi. A behind-the-scenes video was posted on July 27. In October 2011, the band joined Blessthefall and Motionless in White for a European tour, and from November through December 2011, the band co-headlined the No Guts, No Glory tour with Miss May I. A vinyl edition of the album, along with A Flair for the Dramatic, was released on May 24, 2013. A reissue of Selfish Machines was planned for release on September 17, with remixing done by Dan Korneff. It featured "Kissing in Cars", a song that was previously available as a bonus track on the original Japanese edition of the album. The reissue was actually released on September 24.
