Career edit

For a brief period prior to joining Pierce The Veil, Perry was in a band known as Trigger My Nightmare alongside bassist Jaime Preciado, who also left alongside Perry to join Pierce the Veil in 2007.

Perry joined Pierce the Veil in 2007 for the release of the band's first full-length album A Flair for the Dramatic. In the following years, he released four albums with the band, Selfish Machines, Collide with the Sky, Misadventures, and The Jaws of Life.

He has toured in North America, South America, Australia, Asia and Europe several times. Perry has performed at multiple major music festivals such as Rock am Ring and Rock im Park, Reading and Leeds, Warped Tour, Soundwave Festival and Slam Dunk Festival. Pierce the Veil has shared the stage with acts such as Bring Me the Horizon, Black Veil Brides, All Time Low, Sleeping with Sirens, Tonight Alive and A Day to Remember.

Equipment edit

When Perry initially joined Pierce the Veil, he heavily used a Gibson SG, which can be seen in the music videos for 'Chemical Kids and Mechanical Brides' and 'Yeah Boy and Doll Face', both off of A Flair for the Dramatic (2007). Perry later became an endorsee of ESP Guitars around the release of Collide with the Sky (2012), and got his own signature model, the ESP Viper Slimer[1] . Perry began using Fender guitars heavily with the release of Misadventures (2016), in particular a modified American Professional Fender Jazzmaster with a Seymour Duncan pickup and hardtail bridge conversion.[2]


Since Pierce The Veil's return following the departure of founding drummer Mike Fuentes, Perry has very heavily used Fender Stratocaster guitars, including a collection of neon-painted Jim Root Stratocasters, which have been heavily used on music videos for The Jaws of Life (2023) and also during live sessions with Triple J in Sydney, Australia in July 2023.[3]


Perry used Marshall Amplification amplifiers prior to the band's hiatus, often using vintage 1970's Marshall heads fitted with the 'Dookie' mod, popularised by Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong. Following Pierce the Veil's return, Perry has used Mesa/Boogie amplifiers, including the iconic Dual Rectifier, which was popular among Nu metal, Grunge and Pop punk guitarists.

Perry uses Ernie Ball slinky strings, as Pierce the Veil are endorsed by Ernie Ball, largely due to bassist Jaime Preciado using Music Man StingRay basses, and Ernie Ball's endorsement of Vans Warped Tour, where Pierce the Veil gained a majority of their initial traction.

Perry has used EMG pickups for the majority of his career, however used Seymour Duncan JB pickups between around 2014 and 2017. Since their reunion however, Perry has switched back to the EMG active pickups standard in the Jim Root Stratocaster.
