The theme of this album talks about these natural thoughts and feelings to want and take–the desire to be in love and the desperation for someone else to love you. Fuentes later said he wasn't going to be recording in Los Angeles again as there "were a lot of distractions that we didn't need." Shortly after finishing the recording process, the band contributed a cover of Blue Oyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) the Reaper" to the P unk Goes Classic Rock (2010) compilation. Before 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.
Pierce the veil songs while high update#
By January 11, 2010, the vocals and keyboard tracks had yet to be recorded and that the music for the songs were finished. A studio update posted on February 17 mentioned that Fuentes was still working on the album, and a couple of days later he said there would be "8 days left of recording vocals". It was revealed on Decemthat Mike Fuentes had recorded all the drum tracks in one day. Green was chosen as the choice of producer as previous albums he has worked on "sound amazing", as Fuentes commented, and that he was "a very down to earth and passionate person." Selfish Machines, along with the band's next album C ollide with the Sky (2012), was written in a cabin that belonged to Fearless Records president Bob Becker. The album was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Mike Green during December 2009 and January 2010, with a planned release in 2010. In an interview with AbsolutePunk in early 2009, guitarist and vocalist Vic Fuentes said the band's next album would be "completely inspired by our fans." Fuentes also said in the interview that he was not certain when the album would be released, and adding that it would be published by record label Equal Vision. More touring followed during 20, along with recording for Pierce the Veil's fourth album, Misadventures, which appeared in the spring of 2016.Pierce the Veil had been recording, demoing and writing new material, at a home studio in San Diego, since they finished the 2009 Taste of Chaos Tour. A tour documentary titled This Is a Wasteland was released at the end of 2013, capturing the band hard at work across Southeast Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. Their third album, Collide with the Sky, appeared on their new label in 2012, with production from Dan Korneff.

A second album, Selfish Machines, arrived on the label in 2010 before the band parted ways with Equal Vision, eventually signing with Fearless Records the following year. The fall was then spent on opening dates for rockers From First to Last.

Their original affiliation with Equal Vision continued, and in early summer 2007, A Flair for the Dramatic appeared via the Albany-based label. The brothers wrote Pierce the Veil's debut album, A Flair for the Dramatic, in their San Diego home studio, and later recorded it in Seattle with producer Casey Bates (Gatsbys American Dream, Fear Before the March of Flames). In the fall of 2006, they switched their name to Pierce the Veil, which was the name of a track on the previous Before Today album, and brought on board bassist Jaime Preciado and guitarist Tony Perry. In time, Tancil and Ballatore quit the band, leaving Victor and Mike to start over and rebuild. Before Today played as a unit for several years, and after signing to Equal Vision Records, released the album A Celebration of an Ending in September 2004. The two formed the group in December of 1998, and it was soon turned into a quintet by guitarist Joe Tancil and bassist Mitchell Ballatore. They first started playing together as the band Before Today while students in high school. The heart of San Diego emo-inflected post-hardcore outfit Pierce the Veil lies in two brothers, vocalist/guitarist Vic Fuentes and drummer Mike Fuentes.
