Pierce Brothers head to Torquay

The Pierce Brothers have started their nationwide tour after releasing their fourth studio album, Everything Is Bigger Than Me.

Twin brothers, Jack and Patrick Pierce kicked off their tour in March after a performance at Byron Bay’s Bluesfest and will take the stage at the Torquay Hotel on May 11.

After recently returning from their European tour with a majority of sell-out shows, the pair will perform right across the country until August.

Showcasing their indie folk style, the duo’s new album is a journey through the last 10 years and was recorded in Jack’s home studio, with the pair stepping into the producer role for the first time.

Jack said there was a lot of planning that went into this album.

“We had so many songs demoed ourselves first, and tweaked over months and months before we started principal recording,” he said.

Everything Is Bigger Than Me features 10 new tracks, including Blood with themes of family and brotherhood.

“A lot of the themes we touched on with this record, I feel, could reach people,” Patrick said.

“Songs like Blood, for example, I think would have a real appeal, with its themes of family and strife. I just hope they get to sit with it and feel like they’re on a journey. It was quite a journey for us.”

The brothers started busking in Melbourne’s Bourke Street before headlining sold-out venues, gaining 40 million global streams, entertaining festival goers and supporting well-known artists.

Throughout their careers they have also made top 15 on the ARIA charts with their album Atlas Shoulders, and released two top 10 ARIA EPs.
