The pierces 是由Allison & Catherine Pierce组成的团体。

The Pierces 是一个在纽约组建的乐队。最早的成员是来自阿拉巴马伯明翰的Catherine Pierce 还有Allison Peirce姐妹。

姐姐比妹妹大两岁，姐妹俩从小一直受波西米娅式的教育一直到7岁。她们经常旅行，在家庭寄宿学校上课。她们的父母都是艺术家：父亲在不同的乐队演奏吉他，母亲则是位画家。姐妹俩在很小的时候就表现出在音乐及绘画方面的极高天赋，她们听着Joni Mitchell和Simon& Garfunkel的歌长大。还是孩子的时候，她们就被鼓励不断的发现她们的创作能力，并且他们还在别人的晚会，婚礼，教堂中表演。Allison在3岁的时候就开始学习跳舞，而现在两姐妹都够跳芭蕾。

当她们在Auburn大学念书的时候，她们的一个朋友把他们的一盘磁带寄到了纳什维尔的一家唱片公司。这最终成了她们的首张专辑《The Pierces》(2000)专辑里面包含了民谣以及另类的歌曲。然而，Allision在一次采访中承认那张专辑是一张“在混乱中迷失掉的”专辑。所有音乐人都认为那是一张无法分类的专辑。

在2005年8月10号她们的第二张专辑《Light of the moon》通过环宇发行了。这张专辑由Brian Sperber 制作并且包含了姐妹俩亲自创作或参与创作的11首歌曲。

不久，姐妹俩就被人们与之名的艺术家如THe Roche,Tori Amos,Sarah Mclachlan,Shawn Colvin,The Indigo Girls还有Sheryl Crow相比较。

2007年的3月20号，她们的第三张专辑《Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge》（爱与恨的十三个传说）在美国开始发售。这张专辑由Roger Greenawalt制作，这张专辑的评价很高，特别是单曲《Boring》讽刺了社会名流。新的专辑有黑暗，另类的感觉。专辑里涌到了不同的乐器如手风琴，风笛，低音管，小提琴还有夏威夷的独特乐器。这使得这支被认为是民谣乐队的风格大为改变。

她们在接受滚石采访的时候认为这张专辑可能是最后的机会了，所以她们就在这张专辑中尽情的释放由一对纽约姐妹组成的The Pierces是支folk rock band，目前发行了他们的第四张专辑《You & I 》。The Pierces真正被评论家们注意到是在第三张专辑《Thirteen Tales Of Love And Revenge》时，而在2010年12月他们的音乐《Secret》和《Three Wishes》出现在热门美剧《Gossip Girl》中，《Secret》更是在美剧《Dexter》的宣传片中出现，并成为美剧《Pretty Little Liars》的主题曲。

2011年4月发行录音室专辑《Glorious》，5月发行录音室专辑《You & I》。

2014年9月发行录音室专辑《Creation》。

2015年8月，乐队宣布暂时解散，成员单飞发展各自事业。

The Pierces are an American Los Angeles-based band consisting of sisters Allison and Catherine Pierce.

Allison Margaret Pierce (born July 22, 1975) and Catherine Eleanor Pierce (born September 12, 1977) were born 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 children, 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 ballet dancers.

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".

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 Pierce sisters either wrote or co-wrote.

On March 20, 2007, their third album ‘Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge’ was released in the U.S. Produced by Roger Greenawalt.

On August 21, 2008, "Secret" by The Pierces appeared in a promo for Showtime show ‘Dexter’.

In May 2009, Dutch TV channel NET 5 used "Secret" in a promo for their fantasy shows ‘Charmed’ and ’Ghost Whisperer’. "Secret" was also played over the closing credits in the movie ‘ExTerminators’.

On October 23, 2010, the group appeared on ‘Later... with Jools Holland’. In December 2010, the sisters and their band toured with Lissie as her support act. They also performed live on ITV1 show ‘Lorraine’ in March 2011 whilst promoting their new single "Glorious".

On May 30, 2011, their fourth album ‘You & I’ was released featuring their new singles "Love You More", "You'll Be Mine", "Glorious" and "It Will Not Be Forgotten" produced by darktones and released by Polydor Records. However, The Pierces only have a label currently in the UK and are therefore focusing on widening their popularity there, later working on their homeland the US.

The Pierces played at the Glastonbury Festival in June 2011.

The Pierces supported Coldplay at the iTunes Festival in July 2011, which happened to be on Alison's 36th birthday. A second, much larger UK tour took place through October 2011, with Marcus Foster as support. On 11 September 2011, the duo announced via Twitter that their next UK single from ‘You & I’ will be "Kissing You Goodbye", which was released on 23 October. The Pierces supported Coldplay once again for their North American tour in April–May 2012. They appeared at the Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Portland, Seattle, San Jose and Los Angeles shows, as well as supporting them in their Australian tour.

Catherine Pierce revealed on August 27, 2013 via Twitter to a fan that the new album would instead be released in early 2014.Their song "We Are Stars" was featured on The CW's ‘Beauty & the Beast’ in the episode "Any Means Possible".

On January 31, 2014, the band confirmed via Twitter that the album would be called ‘Creation’ and shared a video for its first single, "Kings". "Believe in Me" was released as the second promotional single in late March. On 12 April 2014, the song peaked at #66 in the UK Top 100.On 22 May 2014, the official video for Kings was premiered on Vevo. The album was slated for a release of 1 September, 2014.

On August 19th, 2015, the band announced on The Pierces Facebook page that they will be taking a break to pursue solo projects.
