Torrent description

The Pierces are a New York-based band. The principal members are sisters Catherine Pierce and Allison Pierce.

Biography



[edit]Childhood

The Pierce sisters were born two years apart in Birmingham, Alabama. They traveled frequently and received home-schooling from their self-described hippie parents. Their father played the guitar in various bands, while their mother was a painter. Exposed to music and arts at an early age, the Pierce sisters grew up listening to Joni Mitchell and Simon & Garfunkel. As kids, they were encouraged to explore their creative side and would perform at parties, weddings and churches. Allison started dancing at age three, and both sisters are accomplished ballerinas.

[edit]Musical career

It was while they attended Auburn University, that a friend sent a tape to a record company in Nashville. This eventually resulted in their debut album The Pierces (2000). It featured folk harmonies and adult alternative songs. In a 2004 interview, Allison Pierce commented that the album "sort of got lost in the shuffle".[1] Allmusic attributes the poor reception to "no label support".[2]

On August 10, 2005, their second album Light of the Moon was released through Universal. The album was produced by Brian Sperber and featured 11 tracks that the girls either wrote or co-wrote.[3]

On March 20, 2007, their third album Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge was released in the U.S. Produced by Roger Greenawalt (Nils Lofgren, Radish, Ben Kweller), the album has been well-reviewed, particularly for the single "Boring", which parodies celebrity socialites. The new album has a darker, edgier style, at times using such diverse instruments as an accordion, a calliope, bassoons, a sitar, violins, an autoharp, and a Hawaiian lap steel. It marks a definitive change in the direction of the band, which hitherto has been known as a folk rock band.[4]

In an interview with Rolling Stone after they were featured as a Rolling Stone Breaking Artist, they revealed that this album "felt like [their] last chance". As a result, they "just went for it, had fun".[5]

On December 5, 2007, The Pierces appeared on the CW television series Gossip Girl, playing their songs "Secret" and "Three Wishes".

On August 21, 2008, "Secret" by The Pierces appeared in a promo for Showtime show Dexter.[6]

In May 2009, Dutch TV channel NET 5 uses "Secret" in a promo for their fantasy shows "Charmed" and "Ghost Whisperer".

The duo appears in The All-American Rejects' latest album, When The World Comes Down, in the track, "Another Heart Calls".

The duo's song, "Secret" appears as the theme song for the 2010 TV Show based upon the series of books by Sara Shepard, Pretty Little Liars
