For everyone that keeps questioning our band name's meaning, here you go. I personally thought it was funny at first when people would say: "What's your band's name?" I would say, Pile."What Bile?" No!!! P I L E... and then the infamous line, "What, like pile of shit?" Everything that i do as an artist in this band doesn't make sense to me for a long time. What i mean is, everything i write has a meaning and a point. However, that doesn't mean it makes sense to me at the time. For instance, the name Pile came to me when i was making the cover for the first album. As time has gone on i have understood new meanings for the name. There are three of us in the band. Essentially a triangle. We all have very different personalitys. We Pile up our idea's and our knowledge to form a much greater, single entity, PILE.
