Perry Vincent

Perry Vincent began as a deathcore band based out of Dyersburg, Tennessee. During this time, their lineup consisted of Tyler on vocals, Aaron on drums, DJ, Madison and Jonathan on guitar, and Jordan on bass. In May of 2008, the band replaced vocalist Tyler with Lee, and pivoted to a more hardcore/beatdown sound. In their original iteration, they released an EP titled "They Only Destroy Us." Following their genre-shift, they only released one demo for the song "Sleeveless in Seattle". During their full run, they played with Vanna, My Children My Bride, See You Next Tuesday, Gaza, Recon, and My Virgin Eyes, just to name a few major-label artists. Locally, they played with pretty much everyone. When they disbanded, they posted the following goodbye message to their Myspace:

Ok, heres the deal. Basically DJ has decided to move on and pursue other things. He wasn't happy with us or what we were doing anymore. Also, we are very broke and at a hard stage in life with money issues. We currently have no guitar or bass equipment that's fit for a show, no van or trailer, and no merch to sale. A few of us might possibly be starting up something new once we are back on our feet. There's a lot of talk and a lot of rumors about what certain people might be doing what. We are very sorry for the sudden breakup cuz we know we have let our scene and selves down. Thank you so much for all the support and love. - PV

However, this wasn't the end of the story. In 2018, the band started posting to Facebook teasers of them in the studio. This would result in a 2020 self-titled EP being released. These songs were finished, newly recorded versions of the material they wrote after changing vocalists back in 2008. The EP is on streaming services, and is notably the most recent material released by pretty much and of the original 2000's bands known in the scene.
