While many bands starting their career in Los Angeles struggle to achieve their goals, Fencer is one of the exceptions. The band was formed in February 2017 by former actor Field Cate on vocals and guitar, and lifelong musician Cameron Sauve on drums. They aimed to perfect their unique and transcendent sound, but something was missing. The missing piece of their trio was found when they discovered Cameron's brother, Scott Sauve, on bass. They quickly formed a strong bond and secured their permanent lineup.
