[https://www.facebook.com/ismfoftunes/] * Celebrating the 10 Year
Anniversary of their hit debut record! You Can't Spell Slaughter
Without Laughter is the first full-length album by American
experimental band I Set My Friends On Fire. It was released October 7,
2008 via Epitaph Records. It includes the band's most famous song,
"Things that Rhyme with Orange", a promotional video for which was
released July 22, 2009. Four of the album's tracks are re-released
songs from the band's self-released EP I Set My Friends On Fire EP.
The album reached #29 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart Fusing
together older influences of emo/post hardcore with a little bit of
funk thrown in, I Set My Friends On Fire aims to set themselves apart
from other bands with their unique sound that the band describes as
“evil funk”. ‘Pop Goes Punk’ covers are everywhere nowadays,
but back in 2008 I Set My Friends On Fire were one of the first to
experiment with the concept on the track “Soulja Boy”. High school
seniors, Matt Mehana and Nabil Moo put the single on their Myspace as
a joke and it went viral immediately. The response was so overwhelming
that Myspace took down the band’s page three times because they
assumed the views were increasing so quickly because of being hacked
to increase plays. The duo gave it one more try with a new page and
would inevitably be the beginning of something special. After multiple
offers from different labels, the band signed with Epitaph Records and
before graduation they were flown to make their Bamboozle debut. Their
first album, “You Can’t Spell Slaughter Without Laughter”
(produced by Lee Dyess and Travis Richter of From First To Last) was
released in late 2008 and hit the top of the iTunes chart and #29 on
the Billboard Heatseekers. After two years of extensive touring, the
band went back into the studio to record “Astral Rejection”
(produced Dyess and Richter) which was a more hectic, heavier album.
Before the release, Moo decided to leave the band and Mehana was left
as the only original member. I Set My Friends On Fire has spent
extensive time on the road. The band was the most anticipated band on
Warped Tour 2009 and was featured on the tour in 2011. Their
impressive tour history has included international shows in Europe,
Russia, Canada, U.K, Australia as well as all over the United States.
Other notable festivals include South By So What, UnSilent Night and
Never Say Never Festival. I Set My Friends On Fire have shared the
stage with bands like Attack Attack, Cash Cash, We Came As Romans, Of
Mice and Men, Dance Gavin Dance, Silverstein, Sleeping With Sirens and
many more. 2015 brought new changes to the band. After using different
touring musicians, Mehana announced the band was no longer just him
and brought in long time friends to round out the lineup. Guitarists
Nate Blasdell (The Bunny, The Bear) and Jonathan Rosell, Bassist Joe
Mosey (Lights Out Paris) and Drummer Josh Miller (The Last Ten Seconds
of Life) would then go on to play over 170 shows, in 123 cities,
through 24 countries in 250 days. This included the U.K, mainland
Europe, Russia, Australia, Canada, and numerous U.S tours. After
relentless touring, Miller and Mosey decided to leave the band. Chris
Thompson and Connor Mitchener joined the band solidifying the current
lineup and announced the release of the 3rd album, “Caterpillar
Sex” (produced by Mehana) with an TBA release date.
