Boston’s own Pile has spent the last decade earning a reputation as one of the most inventive and dynamic forces in indie rock. Fronted by singer, guitarist, and songwriter Rick Maguire, the band weaves together raw post-punk energy, intricate guitar work, and hauntingly poetic lyricism.
Across acclaimed releases like A Hairshirt of Purpose, Green and Gray, and their latest, All Fiction, Pile has evolved from a scrappy underground project into a genre-defying powerhouse, capable of moving seamlessly between jagged noise and quiet, arresting melodies. Their live shows are a visceral experience equal parts ferocity and vulnerability where every note feels urgent and every pause feels intentional.
For fans of boundary-pushing rock, unpredictable songcraft, and cathartic performance, Pile at The Drake Hotel promises an unforgettable night.
