PVRIS Biography

PVRIS is an American rock band, currently enclosing members Lyndsey Gunnulfsen, Alex Babinski and Brian MacDonald. The original plan for this band was to go for a metalcore sound and the initial name was Operation Guillotine.

Early Years

When the members started recording, they naturally changed their sound. With metalcore intentions, they ended up being a post-hardcore oriented band. From Operation Guillotine to Paris, the band had to change its name once again, choosing the stylised version “PVRIS.” They issued the PVRIS EP in 2013 and held a mini-tour for it.

Further Career

PVRIS performed on the Warped Tour and toured with Mayday Parade, Pierce the Veil and Sleeping with Sirens. Between winning a Kerrang! Award and an Alternative Press Music Award, the band issued a cover of Sia’s “Chandelier”. They went on to support Bring Me The Horizon and Fall Out Boy on their tours. After this, they started releasing new singles followed by a debut performance at Lollapalooza. They started work for the second album. It was teased with the single “Heaven”. The next album titled All We Know of Heaven, All We Need of Hell will be released on 4 August 2017.
