Good Morning! Today's song is Floral & Fading by Pierce The Veil.
So these guys have been active since 2006 and are made up of Vic Fuentes, Tony Perry, and Jaime Preciado with one former member being Mike Fuentes. The brothers had been in another band called Before Today, but that group split up in 2006, leading them to start this band. It started as just them, still signed with their old label, releasing their first album in 2007. The name is inspired by a song title from their old band, one called A Celebration of an Ending. The other tow joined the group in time to tour, which they did with so many bands I cannot name them all. They've also played at a bunch of festivals, and the brothers were briefly part of a supergroup called Isles & Glaciers in 2008. In 2009 the band moved, then released their next album in 2010 followed by more festivals and tours. They signed with a new label in 2011, and spent 2012 teasing and promoting their next album. They did a bunch of touring and released another album in 2016 before statutory rape allegations caught up with Mike Fuentes in 2017. He stepped down from the band, and the rest of the guys kept going and are apparently working on another album. I'm not going to take about the allegations because I don't really know anything about it, and I really have enough going on in my life without digging into it to learn enough information to form an opinion. So take what you will, and look it up if you want. Otherwise that's it for today.
Peace.
