PEARS is an American hardcore punk band formed in 2014 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The band was formed in early 2014 by Zach Quinn and Brian Pretus, a year after the breakup of their previous band The Lollies. Quinn and Pretus enlisted former band mate Alex Talbot to play bass and friend John Bourgeois as their drummer. The band played their first show on Mardi Gras Day with Epitaph Records band Off With Their Heads, which gained the interest of Ryan Young. After a short run with two drummers Bourgeois (who recorded Go To Prison) and Tim Harman (who went out on their 1st tour), PEARS enrolled Jarret Nathan of the Philadelphia band Push Ups. The band is currently signed to Fat Wreck Chords, and released their sophomore album, Green Star, in 2016.
