The Pierces are an American indie folk-pop duo formed by sisters Catherine and Allison Pierce, known for their close harmonies, darkly whimsical lyrics, and blend of folk, pop, and rock influences.Sisters Catherine (b. April 22, 1976) and Allison Pierce (b. April 4, 1978) formed The Pierces in New York City around 2000. They released their self-titled debut album in 2000, followed by 'Light of the Moon' (2004) and 'Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge' (2007).Their breakthrough came with the critically acclaimed album 'You & I' (2011), featuring the hit single 'You'll Be Mine' prominently used in the TV show 'Desperate Housewives'. They released 'Creation' in 2014 before announcing a hiatus to pursue solo projects.The sisters reunited in 2017 for the album 'The Pierces' and have continued performing together intermittently since.

• The sisters grew up in a strict, religious household in Alabama, heavily influenced by their musical parents, which shaped their early sound but also created tensions leading them to move to New York.
• Both sisters performed in musical theater productions before forming their band.
• Despite critical praise for 'Thirteen Tales...' (2007), commercial success initially eluded them, leading to frustration and nearly causing the band to break up before signing with Polydor for 'You & I'.
• The use of 'You'll Be Mine' in 'Desperate Housewives' was a pivotal moment, significantly boosting their profile internationally.
• After the hiatus post-'Creation' (2014), both sisters released solo albums: Allison Pierce's 'Year of the Rabbit' (2017) and Catherine Pierce's work as 'The Reformation'.
• Their 2017 self-titled reunion album was recorded in Nashville and marked a return to a more organic, folk-oriented sound.
