Pierce The Veil is an American rock band formed in 2006 in San Diego, California. Founded by brothers Vic and Mike Fuentes after the disbanding of Before Today.
==History==
Pierce the Veil was founded by Mike Fuentes and Vic Fuentes in 2006, after the disbandment of their band Before Today. http://www.sandiegoreader.com/bands/pierce-veil/# The brothers continued to write songs together and eventually came up with enough material for a new full-length album. Still backed by their label, Equal Vision Records, they wrote and recorded an entire album on their own in Seattle, WA with producer Casey Bates. https://www.kmgmt.com/caseybates The brothers released the album A Flair for the Dramatic on June 26, 2007, under a new name: Pierce the Veil, which is derived from a song of the same name from Before Today's album, A Celebration of an Ending. https://genius.com/Before-today-pierce-the-veil-lyrics 
On August 23, 2011, Pierce the Veil signed with Fearless Records. https://lambgoat.com/news/16710/pierce-the-veil-signs-with-fearless-records/ 
In November 2017, drummer Mike Fuentes was accused of soliciting nude photos and statutory rape by a young woman. The incidents allegedly occurred roughly a decade prior over the course of several years. The pair allegedly initiated contact on Myspace before meeting for the first time at a Pierce the Veil concert. Fuentes was 24 at the time, while the girl was 16. The woman stated they had sex after meeting again at a concert during Warped Tour. The relationship was said to have lasted until she turned 18. http://www.hysteriamag.com/pierce-veil-mike-fuentes-accused-assaulting-minor/ 
In December 2017, a second woman accused him of requesting nude pictures when she was a minor. She accused him anonymously on Twitter. The woman claimed they first met at Warped Tour in 2008, when she was 14 years old where they exchanged phone numbers. When she turned 15, Fuentes allegedly requested nude photos from her. http://loudwire.com/pierce-the-veil-mike-fuentes-accused-of-sexual-relations-with-a-minor/ 
Fuentes and the rest of the band released a statement later that month, stating that Mike Fuentes was to step down as drummer to "concentrate on his personal life". The band announced a hiatus and cancelled their planned 2018 UK tour with All Time Low. https://www.altpress.com/news/entry/mike_fuentes_pierce_the_veil_underage_sexual_misconduct_allegations 
On 13 April 2020, the band uploaded a home rehearsal of their track "Hold On Till May" in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The performance featured former member Mike Fuentes, however the band did not specify whether he had officially returned as a member of the band. https://web.archive.org/web/20200416074153/https://www.altpress.com/news/pierce-the-veil-return-with-hold-on-till-may-coronavirus/ On August 24, 2020, Vic confirmed that Mike had left the band in 2017 and will not be featured on the next album. http://thenewfury.com/pierce-the-veil-currently-writing-a-new-album/
