Pile is an American indie rock band hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, known for their unique blend of post-hardcore, punk, and alternative rock. The band was formed in 2007 by singer and guitarist Rick Maguire, and over the years, they have cultivated a dedicated following drawn to their intense live performances and complex songwriting. Pile's music is characterized by Maguire's distinct vocal delivery, intricate guitar work, and emotionally raw lyrics that often explore themes of personal struggle, existential anxiety, and societal critique.

With a discography that demonstrates a relentless drive to evolve, Pile has released multiple albums and EPs that have etched their place in the indie rock landscape. Their recent works like "Green and Gray" and "All Fiction" showcase their continued maturation as artists, balancing melody with dissonance. The acoustic collection "Songs Known Together, Alone" demonstrates the band's versatility, offering a stripped-down look at their typically electrified fare. As they continue to create and perform, Pile solidifies its status as a band unafraid to challenge both themselves and the boundaries of the genre.
