In the 1980s Pierce and his band released a number of albums, of which the first one can be regarded as a lasting achievement and one of the best punk albums of the early 1980s: "Fire of Love" contained several songs that won critical acclaim, above all "Sex Beat" and "She's Like Heroin To Me". The next two albums "Miami" and "The Las Vegas Story" are both highly original, the music being a unique mixture of punk, country elements and blues.

In the early stages of his career, Pierce was supported by Debbie Harry of Blondie, who was convinced of his potential as musician and artist. He originally met Harry as well as Chris Stein through his position as the president of Blondie's US fan club. The group also paid tribute to him in their song "Under The Gun" from the 1999 album No Exit.
