After being signed by Equal Vision Records the band released, A Celebration of an Ending under their new name Before Today. In the fall of 2006, brothers Vic and Mike Fuentes, changed the band name from Before Today to Pierce the Veil (a song title featured on their prior album), also displacing Joe Tancil (guitar) and Mitchell Ballatore (bass). The lineup is now Vic Fuentes (vocals, guitar), Mike Fuentes (drums), Jaime (pronounced as "High-Meh") Preciado (bass), and Tony Perry (guitar). Mike is a self-taught drummer and has been playing for years. He also raps on his hip hop side project, MikeyWhiskeyHands, for which Jaime produces the instrumentals. Re-signing to Equal Vision Records, they released their second album entitled A Flair for the Dramatic on June 26, 2007.
