I Set My Friends On Fire

I SET MY FRIENDS ON FIRE have always followed their own musical path and that's evident by listening to just a few seconds of the band's second full-length, Astral Rejection. The album is teeming chaotic moments, brutal breakdowns, electronica interludes and melodic choruses, however despite how schizophrenic this looks on paper, the band--vocalist Matt Mehana, drummer/keyboardist Chris Lent and new guitarist Ashton Howarth--have crafted a metallic masterpiece with Astral Rejection and raised the bar for sonic innovation and experimentation without sacrificing an ounce of the identity that has already endeared ISMFOF to fans all over the world.

Since forming in Miami, Florida, in 2007, I SET MY FRIENDS ON FIRE haven't wasted any time in becoming one of the most exciting acts in music today. The band were signed to Epitaph when Mehana was just seventeen years old and their second show was at 2008's Bamboozle Festival alongside acts like Jimmy Eat World and Paramore. Since then the band have toured tirelessly on their 2008 debut You Can't Spell Slaugh

    Matt Mehana and Nabil Moo started the idea of I Set My Friends On Fire when they were very young. Matt became the vocalist who used both clean and screamed vocal techniques. After releasing some songs on MySpace, Matt was signed to Epitaph when he was only seventeen years old.
    Through Epitaph, the duo released their debut album "You Can't Spell Slaughter Without Laughter" in 2008. When asked in an interview, Matt said that the goal for the band was to push the envelope and produce new original music that nobody's heard before. This is certainly what the band has become famous for, due to the combination of Matt's unique screamed vocals with heavy electronic influences.
    This status is what the band is still known for in the present day, and Matt is still delivering his signature vocal style. Matt's aims are clear; to bring fans original, creative music.
