I See Stars

[dancelukedance]

Anyone heard of this band? i checked them out this morning before work, they sounded alright. I thought it was quite funny though, in their about me section on their myspace page, they try and say how unique they are.


www.myspace.com/iseestars (http://www.myspace.com/iseestars)


i think thats the link

[circatbs]

Meh, I downloaded 3D and thought it was kind of mediocre. Overuse of autotune. Maybe it'll grow on me.

[TriangularDuck]

3D is pretty damn solid. The first five tracks are huge hitters, then it kinda lets off a little bit until the final track. Still, a decent album.

[AndrewIcex]

Eh they are alright, I mean I can't really find a great recording by them, just mediocre, I guess I expect too much with bands and their recordings.

Oh ok sweet, i might download it when i get home then! The screaming sounded pretty good

[Burn That Shit]

There was nothing good about that band.

[Hey Kevin]

that linked me to a girl from Utah

oops, im at work and cant access myspace. I just guessed that was the link, sorry bud ill find the correct one when i arrive back to my residence

[fly_guy]

I love the song The Common Hours. Probably my favorite on the album. The screaming is fun

[OdeToTheSun]

Band is not that good.

[Hey Kevin]

bahahahahaa
this is so groundbreaking

[kemichels]

dood, the song SING THIS is my guilty pleasure.

And well, idk, I guess their whole album is my guilty pleasure. I'm not usually into music like this, but it's entertaining and fun.

[dancelukedance]

I got 3D! and its pretty awesome. Heaps of fun! some of the songs just drastically change, its cool.

[Javs]

can't say i like them
his voice is actually pretty good, and they're pretty catchy
but i lose all respect for bands that add to the "screaming + singing" shit genre, not to mention adding to the overuse of synth riffs

[batmannj]

I am not a fan of these guys. I saw Agraceful on the Sumerian Records tour back in September and I See Stars was supposed to play but they never showed up for the show. Bunch of sodding idiots.

They actually didn't show up?

Nope, the schedule was supposed to be Agraceful, I See Stars, Sea of Treachery, but I See Stars never came.

Something may have happened, ya never know. Too bad that tour didn't come anywhere near me last summer. Easily my 3 favorite Sumerian bands.

Edit: I saw them in February at festival. Their tour with Before Their Eyes and Our Last Night came through to play it.

I love Agraceful, Chris is my homie lol. Sea of Treachery puts on a good live show.

I finally found the Agraceful record last week so I bought it. Still have to get At Daggers Drawn.

It's a solid record. Nothing that reinvents the wheel, but it is enjoyable. Have you heard the record yet?

[more heart]

Only what's on their MySpace. I do however have their cover of "Misery Business", pretty solid.

[AndrewIcex]

Sea Of Treachery actually broke up a while ago, a few months atleast, and are getting back together with their original vocalist Alex, the old band just disagreed on too much and were sick of touring, and now Sumerian is putting the band back together with a whole new set of guys and the original vocalist who was actually kicked out and replaced by a local vocalist of a different band, dumb decision imo, but anyways, expect some more good stuff to come from SOT in the near future.


P.S. At Daggers Drawn was actually better than Sea of Treachery, just saying.

Who? What? I dont know why a label would spend so much effort a band no one knows about and probably will not go anywhere

They see potential, they are putting a somewhat Sumerian records super band type thing together. With a lineup that has decent sized musicians from numerous bands, though I don't know specific bands or names, but it should be known by the summer I would think. Plus, Alex is great with managing his own band and other bands, which basically is a special gift for any record labels, if they don't have to do much work, they love it.

Hmm. Ok.

[dancelukedance]

I'm really enjoying 3D been spinning it relentlessly over the past few days. Favourite tracks at the moment are:

Save the cheerleader
Comfortably Confused
Project Wakeup
Common Hours

I've yet to hear the whole thing but Project WakeUp is sick.

[dancelukedance]

I've yet to hear the whole thing but Project WakeUp is sick.

Definitely. Yeah you should download it!

[rising_tied]

Ehh.. there ok.. IMO opinion the best track they have is Sing This, and the whole song is mainly Bizzy Bone

[circatbs]

Wow, Sing This! is one of the worst songs I've heard in a long time, and Bizzy Bone is a joke.

[kemichels]

yesssssss.

Sing This! Is fucking catchy as hell, lol, And it's insanely fun to bump in your car while dancing like an idiot in front of people on the sidewalk.

[dancelukedance]

Apparently they fucked up the printing of the tracklist. Cause what i thought was "Save the cheerleader" isn't the same as the one on myspace.

[DejaNew]

LMAO. Sooooooo groundbreaking. Sounds like every other fuckin band in the genre. God, I hate bands like this. They're all the same, yet they all think they're unique. As soon as I saw that their CD was available at Hot Topic, I knew what it was going to sound like.

I don't believe a single person here has called them ground breaking or original.

I just went to his profile and saw he likes Chevelle and The Used. Therefore, his statement is now invalid.

[Burn That Shit]

I See Stars has been working very hard on the long awaited release of their first full length album. The forthcoming album is titled 3D. The album strays away from all the musical features you are used too, blending all genres of music, in hopes to set the bar for a new unique sound. Since there has been a surplus of "electronica / hardcore" music, the pages will be turned again, and new eyes will be opened, to bands and fans alike. Songs from the brand new cd will be going up very soon, so keep your eyes open and continue to support us, because we are nothing without the love.

Look, they even promise to jump on the next shitty scene trend when that starts!

[dancelukedance]

Look, they even promise to jump on the next shitty scene trend when that starts!

Haha yeah that blurb on their page is pretty gay, but im enjoying there album, nothing ground breaking buts its alright.

I'm listening to Volcano - Gatsby's American Dream at the present moment

[Breathe, Beauty]

I absolutely love this band. I've seen them four times and it'll be six times come June, but this album pisses me off. There's only 1 legit new song off the whole thing. If you ever looked at their MySpace or saw them live before the album, then you'd only receive a handful of "new" material. It's fucking weak.


Plus, they don't sound anything like the new recordings live. If you heard the old recordings of their songs, then that's what you'd hear live.

[rising_tied]

Sing This! Is fucking catchy as hell, lol, And it's insanely fun to bump in your car while dancing like an idiot in front of people on the sidewalk.
Lol Agreed.. Except for the dancing thing.. Cuz when I downloaded it it was mislabeled so the CD i made really didnt have Sing This on it but a differnt song... AAAAANYWAY I wasnt 100% feeling this song at first either because of the Autotune but dude like you said its hella catchy

[DejaNew]

I don't believe a single person here has called them ground breaking or original.
Please read the first post. Says they list how "unique" they are. Plus, The Used has done much more for music than everyone in this entire genre will. And Chevelle, I grew up with Chevelle. Care to bash my music anymore? Looking at yours, there is a ton of stuff I could rip you apart for, but I'm not going to, cuz I'm not that low.

[DejaNew]

Look, they even promise to jump on the next shitty scene trend when that starts!
LMAO.

[oddwithoutend]

What a shitty band...

[oddwithoutend]

I just went to his profile and saw he likes Chevelle and The Used. Therefore, his statement is now invalid.

Haha I can't believe you're bashing his taste in music when you have some of the worst bands I've ever listened to listed as your favourites. DejaNew's asshole has better taste in music than you.

[DejaNew]

Yeah, I would have to agree. I do have 1 or 2 guilty pleasures that may not be favorites around here, but when your favorite bands include Attack Attack, The Devil Wears Prada and I See Stars, there's no point in trying to bash somebody with a much more complete and awesome music taste. Why don't you try saying how shitty Thrice and Brand New are, more heart?

[HometownHero]

I like this. The title track is my favorite. Nothing really new but still entertaining

[circatbs]

The album is starting to grow on me. As of now my favorite songs are "The Common Hours," '3D," and "The Big Bad Wolf." 3D (the song) is so fucking catchy.

[kemichels]

Haha yeah that blurb on their page is pretty gay, but im enjoying there album, nothing ground breaking buts its alright.

Everyone that reads this thread should probably put away the I See Stars cd and listen to this.

Read the bolded part of the post I quoted previously to yours, he's refering to the band thinking they're orginal.

Second, I'm also not in here to rip this band. I see when someone starts to talk badly of band you like you begin to get defensive. Also, didn't I kind of admit on my profile that Attack! Attack and Breathe Carolina are shitty? The rest of those bands are in no way shitty. They may be well liked by scene kids but by no means are they shitty.

[more heart]

Haha I can't believe you're bashing his taste in music when you have some of the worst bands I've ever listened to listed as your favourites. DejaNew's asshole has better taste in music than you.

Here's a theory I have: Don't fucking talk shit about bands if you can't take the same shit being said about bands you like.

Well I actually like Thrice a lot so...

I'll give you Attack Attack! and I See Stars but The Devil Wears Prada is by no means shitty. Again, if you're giong to talk shit about a band be prepared to recieve it when you like The Used.

[oddwithoutend]

Here's a theory I have: Don't fucking talk shit about bands if you can't take the same shit being said about bands you like.

That's all great and everything, but you don't actually have the ability to talk shit about bands I like. As for DejaNew, he was giving his opinion on the band that is being discussed in this thread, and you resorted to bashing his tastes, which has nothing to do with the discussion.

The only question asked by the OP was whether or not you've heard of the band. He did not ask for opinions of the band. Again, what makes a band like The Used better than this. Either way, he'll think one way and I'll think the other. So maybe I shouldn't have bashed his tastes but what the fuck does he listen to that's sooo much better?

It doesn't matter what he listens to that's better than your favourite bands. We were discussing I See Stars, right? He was obviously looking for some unique music and was severely dissappointed by them.

Unique music is so overrated anyway. Besides, he didn't have to be a dick about it. He could have just flat out said that there is nothing original about this band. Instead, he attempted to act like some elitist. I'd care to know what's so bad about the music I listen to. I've already said that Attack Attack! are pretty bad, what more do you want? Now you're bashing my tastes without be provoked as well, how does that make sense?

Edit: Here's exactly what your friend said.

Haha I was provoked because I like DejaNew and you had no reason to disclude his opinion from the discussion merely because of the bands in his profile. So what if he was harsh about it? What's bad about the music you listen to? The lack of creativity, variety, originality, intelligence, inspiration, etc. But it doesn't matter. You don't have to listen to music with artistic merit and credibility. You likely will though as your tastes improve.

Probably, but this isn't a bash I See Stars thread. Also as I said before, it would have been fine except the dude was being a complete.dick about it.

He genuinely found the band hilarious. He was being honest. Yeah, I can see someone who likes the band being offended, but you must know anyways that there are a lot of people that aren't into this kind of style.

Dude, the bands that you guys keep saying are shitty aren't even my favorite bands of all time even. Plus, I like a lot of really well like bands here(obviuosly you didn't see all the bands I like).

one of the first things I learned on here is that alot of users are douchebags. either you let it get to you and start arguing about nothing or you just get over it. when you make threads about bands its so people can give different opinions not just all positive. it'd be pretty boring to just all agree on a band without someone saying they dislike it y'know

[oddwithoutend]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!! MIDTOWN, NEW FOUND GLORY, MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK, and SPITALFIELD ALL SUCK NOwW!!!

Dude, the bands that you guys keep saying are shitty aren't even my favorite bands of all time even.

Man. I'm just looking at the bands listed in your profile. I'm not mentioning any specific bands. This week I've been listening to The Microphones, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Fuck Buttons, Animal Collective, Battles, Mount Eerie, Devendra Banhart, Bon Iver, Iron and Wine, etc. There's no shame in listening to the stuff you listen to, but I'm just saying that your tastes will mature, they will improve and extend into different genres. I can't stand the music I listened to when I was 17 anymore.

Very true. I wonder what some of the users would think if I actually stopped debating all the time(something I really should stop doing). I did hold my tounge in mht's Bring Me the Horizon thread so I guess I'm on a roll. I remember him being a complete moron in your pop punk resurgence thread.

Possibly but I'm content with a lot that I listen to at the moment. I think some people would be surprised by some of the bands I listen to because they're so different from the ones on my profile.

I realize that I came across as a dick, but you've gotta admit, there have been some bands that you absolutely hate. Personally, I think this is terrible music, but that's my opinion. In no way, shape or form did I attempt to personally bash any individual's music taste, until you started to bash mine. So if you're willing to settle this, I totally am too. Just out of curiosity, what kind of music do you actually listen to, since you said the stuff in your profile wasn't all that you listened to? Just curious.

Well I'm a huge Drive-Thru Records-era pop punk fan(NFG, Midtown, The Starting Line). I, belive it or not, like a lot punk bands like The Descendents, Bad Religion, The Bouncing Souls, The Loved Ones and others. I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of bands like this but it's fun and inoffensive music. Sure there's not a ton of artistical merit to these bands but, I'm fine with it.

Edit: Best representation of my favorite bands would be the bands that I'm a fan of on my profile.

[dancelukedance]

Attack Attack! was a guilty pleasure when their album came out then it got old (for me). They kind resemble each other. But this is alright. For now.

[rising_tied]

I know this topic is old, but I rather bump this then be annoying and start a new one...

I just saw them Live for the first time yesterday.. They should just stay in the studio.. The singer stayed in like one damn key the whole set he was fucking terrible.. The screamer was good, but he just sounds likea Chicago Local DORIAN'S DECAY who I much rather listen to anyday... I dont have to see them again

Not at all. That record was slightly dissapointing and the clean vocals got annoying because he kept on wailing all the time. I can't really compare them to SEA since I've yet to but the s/t though I do have EPOTWD.

Hmmm I hear ya, you prefer SEA over Stars? I know I do.

Well everyone looks for different things when watching a band live, and I have seen that too, but personally, I thought they were good, they got the audience into it, now it was in Cincinnati which is a huge place for heavier music. And they strive on audiences that are more involved in the hardcore shows, or metal shows, the audience and the band just made the show excellent, I wouldn't say it was the best show I have seen (cause Funeral For A Friend was probably that, when comparing to what they sound like on the cd), but they were good, and I won't deny that, he hit high high notes and did good vocal stuff, so I was definitely impressed with them, I anticipated them sucking, but I was wrong, that is how I saw it.

And they strive on audiences that are more involved in the hardcore shows, or metal shows, the audience and the band just made the show excellent, I wouldn't say it was the best show I have seen (cause Funeral For A Friend was probably that, when comparing to what they sound like on the cd), but they were good, and I won't deny that, he hit high high notes and did good vocal stuff, so I was definitely impressed with them, I anticipated them sucking, but I was wrong, that is how I saw it.

Most of the problem the people have is that when their singer sings the older songs, he's not that great.

He put more vocal changes in the new album, I feel like he will be a "Silverstein" type case where when he started he was just kinda not good, but as time progresses he finds his niche in the vocal world.

Plus, they had more of a punk singing style in the first album, this album is a little less punky singing and more harmonic vocally.

I don't like sky eats airplane. I've tried to get into them a few times...

Ah that is all good, not for everyone I guess.

I love I See Stars. This album was at the top of my list since like... September of 08.
With that being said, I can understand the complaints from people that have seen them live. The vocalist doesn't sing like he sings on the record, but it still sounds pretty great. Plus, the crowds love this band... they opened for A Skylit Drive here in Michigan, ISS' hometown, and almost had the same energy throughout the crowd as ASD had. This band is the best representation of their genre, at least as far as the poppy fan is concerned. I know a lot of people that can't stand screaming, but love this band.

Also, they kind of are doing something somewhat original. There aren't too many other bands out there with the same overall sound that ISS has. Most of the bands in the genre have a huge amount of screaming, and not to much singing. The only other bands that sound anything like ISS are Sky Eats Airplane, Before Their Eyes, and Broadway.... and I guess Attack Attack!

This band is generic, but I love it so much.

[yayitsjoe]

they are generic. but they are my favorite band of this "genre."

i got 3D, and wasn't too impressed. then i saw them open for A Day to Remember, and they rocked it. i got into 3D some more after that. although, "sing this!" is intolerable. i think it's awful. and "the ocean" is a bit pointless. if it wasn't for those two songs, it would be probably top three albums of the year for me.

I enjoy them since they're a hometown band and I've seen them mature over the years. They do have a very pop-oriented sound, which makes it kind of a guilty pleasure, but a pleasure nonetheless.

Because you saw them live? Seriously?

[Chrisj182]

3D bored me, but apparently they're really good live.

[yayitsjoe]

Because you saw them live? Seriously?

yeah, seriously. i didn't give them much credit, and really only enjoyed the first two songs. then i saw them live, and got into the entire album.


is that a problem?

I mean its whatever, I don't care who and what you like, it just seems to be a weird way to choose one of your favorite albums of the year, that's all.

Nothing Special.

[CChocobo]

Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains is wayyy better.
Oh wait we're talking about I See Stars. They're not bad, i like'em but nothing original, as is the case with most electronic/hardcore/whatever bands now days. They don't do anything that pushes them out of what's already out there.
