Andover, Boston MA, United States (1994 – 2008)
Piebald was an indie rock band formed in 1994 in Andover, Massachusetts. Piebald started as a hardcore band in the same scene that produced legends Converge but later moved to the Boston suburb of Somerville and became a staple of the Greater Boston indie rock scene. Two members still live in the Boston area, while the other two now live in Los Angeles.
A turning point in Piebald’s career came when they recorded seven tracks, and put them on the CD that came to be known as Sometimes Friends Fight. Their musical sound had greatly matured, and Travis’ lyrical ability was finally brought to the forefront of the band’s music. Another two seven-inches later, Piebald was ready for another metamorphosis.
Eleven tracks recorded at Salad Days became the first record to showcase Piebald’s signature sound and wry jokes. Traditionally the most sought-after Piebald recording (before it was immortalized in its entirety on All Ages), When Life Hands You Lemons was considered to be Piebald’s best music yet. This release furthered the lyrical style that had been growing within the band, and also showcased the first lead vocals by lead guitarist Aaron Stuart, and a piano track by Shettel.
Following If it Weren’t for Venetian Blinds, It Would Be Curtains for Us All, Piebald released their most popular album to date, We Are the Only Friends We Have. It featured the single “American Hearts” which achieved a modicum of success, garnering some mention on MTV and college radio.

'All Ears, All Eyes, All The Time' is, in short, underrated. Great, great album. But 'We Are The Only Friends We Have' is still my favorite.

Saw them at probably 4 of their Andover Christmas shows. I was on a mini-tour the weekend of their last shows. As that band broke up, I look back and just wish I could've been to one of those concerts

seen them live oh so many times. every time i hear the opening notes to "long nights" i INSTANTLY have the absolutely pavlovian need to rush to "the front" (no matter where i am at the time, which gets awkward in the car and at work...) and finger-point and scream and bounce around like im 17 years old. sheer perfection.

Yeah, because I go to local Warped tour shows and associate with underground artists I ended up with a bunch of releases that are good, but also pretty much only available from the artist himself. Whom almost no one has heard of.

I know I should check out their last two albums because songs from them were good live, but I still can't get past how incredible Venetian Blinds is after all these years. Definitely a classic.
