Band origins and early covers

On this episode of Lipps Service, Scott sits down with three members – vocalist Vic Fuentes, guitarist Tony Perry, and bassist Jaime Preciado – of San Diego-bred rockers Pierce The Veil! The four get into the band's early days in music, using MySpace in the early 2000s, and the band's forming. They discuss the Southern California music scenes, their experiences at Warped Tour, and the influence of grunge. They also share insight into songs like "Karma Police" and "King For A Day," and how the latter went viral on TikTok. The three talk about some collaborations, and their headlining stints at Madison Square Garden and The Forum. To close, they list their top 5 rock records, films, and Radiohead songs. Tune into a great, exciting chat with Pierce The Veil!
