The Band Perry, an American country music group, is composed of siblings Kimberly Perry (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Reid Perry (bass guitar, background vocals), and Neil Perry (mandolin, drums, accordion, background vocals). They signed to Republic Nashville in August 2009 and have released six singles: "Hip to My Heart" (November 2009), "If I Die Young" (June 2010), "You Lie" (January 2011), "All Your Life" (August 2011), "Postcard from Paris" (March 2012), and "Better Dig Two" (October 2012). The first five songs are included on the band's self-titled debut album, released October 12, 2010. "Better Dig Two" will be included on their new album. "If I Die Young" reached No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs and Adult Contemporary charts and has been certified quadruple platinum. History: The Perry siblings began singing as young children. They were all born in Mississippi. When they were in their early teens, their family moved to Alabama. Eventually, they moved to Tennessee. Kimberly was born on July 12, 1983; Reid on November 17, 1988; and Neil on July 23, 1990. Kimberly Perry sang in her own band as a teenager with her brothers Neil and Reid working as roadies. At ages 8 and 10, the brothers began performing as an opening act, the Mobile Music Machines, for Kimberly. Once they had united to form The Band Perry, they joined a New Faces of Country tour in 2005. Their father's name is Steve, but despite persistent rumors to the contrary, he is not the same Steve Perry who was the lead singer of the band Journey. They've also been frequently confused as being related to actor Luke Perry and guitarist Joe Perry, though they are related to neither. In 2008, they were discovered by Garth Brooks's manager Bob Doyle, who helped them make recordings that were sent to Scott Borchetta, head of the newly established Republic Nashville label. They signed to Republic Nashville in August 2009 and released their debut single "Hip to My Heart". All three members wrote it with Brett Beavers. The song peaked at No. 20 on the country chart. A self-titled extended play followed in April. After "Hip to My Heart" fell from the charts, The Band Perry released their second single, "If I Die Young", which Kimberly wrote single-handedly. "If I Die Young" and "Hip to My Heart" are on the band's self-titled debut album, released on October 12, 2010. The album was produced by Paul Worley and Nathan Chapman. "If I Die Young" reached No. 1 on the country music chart, and No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album's third single, "You Lie", was written by Brian Henningsen, Aaron Henningsen, and Clara Henningsen. It debuted in December 2010 and hit No. 2 in 2011. After it, "All Your Life" reached number 1 in February 2012, and "Postcard from Paris" reached number 6. As of June, 2012 the album had sold 1.3 million copies. In mid-2012, the band began working with producer Rick Rubin on their second album which is set to be released on April 2, 2013. The album's first single, "Better Dig Two", was released to country radio on October 30, 2012.
