The Pierces

Psychedelic rock
Psychedelic rock

The Pierces is a Psychedelic rock act. Their sound grew out of Lucinda Williams, Guy Berryman, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell and Simon & Garfunkel. Those roots explain a lot about how The Pierces arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Jem, Shivaree, Lola Marsh, Gin Wigmore and Amy Macdonald, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Lissie and Coldplay, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 23 connections around The Pierces, reaching back through Lucinda Williams and forward to Lissie.
