I SET MY FRIENDS ON FIRE SIGN TO EPITAPH RECORDS
Experiemental Electro-Grind Duo Sign To Epitaph Records And Plan Fall Debut

Ironic and completely original, I Set My Friends On Fire have signed to Epitaph Records with plans to release their debut album in the fall.

Consisting of Matt (Vocals) and Nabil (Instruments/Programming/Vocals), ISMFOF defy conventional genres by cross-breeding electronica with elements of grind and hardcore for one of the freshest sounds around. Formed in late 2007, the duo became an overnight hit with their incredible rock/screamo cover of Soulja Boy’s “Crank Dat,” which attracted over 50,000 plays per day and the attention of Epitaph owner Brett Gurewitz. In March of 2008 the band signed to Epitaph Records and began writing music for their first album due out this fall.

ISMFOF’s unique music, hot merch and hilarious self-made videos have helped the group build massive underground buzz and a legion of fans via the group’s Myspace page. With over 6 million page views and eighty nine thousand friends, ISMFOF are the face of DIY in the digital age.

“The album will have every genre you ever heard of mixed into one big bowl,” explains Matt. “It's going to be crazy! Not your usual listen.” “Fans should brace themselves for something that is very different and unique, but also very familiar at the same time,” continues Nabil. “We pride ourselves on thinking outside the box as well as not having any limitations musically or creatively-speaking.”

Fans can get a rare glimpse of ISMFOF performing live at Bamboozle on Saturday May 2nd @ 9:30 PM on the Nokia Ticket Rush Stage.

Seriously? Why would you go on a band's page to talk about how much you hate them. Be less of a douche and go pay attention to the boring-ass shit you DO like and leave the page to people who aren't down to troll.

This band is one of the most fun bands I've found out there. They are fun to listen to and even better live.

The drums guitars and bass are obviously real except in the technoish drum parts but still its an awesome first album and these guys deserve way more credit than your waste of time post. All of these "new" sounding genre bands all write the same way and it all sounds the same. ISMFOF combined alot of genres and made a new one and it is mad good:)


I can't believe that you're trying to defend this music. I don't care if you think they have witty lyrics, you can't understand them. This isn't music, it's programming, and if I wanted to listen to good programming I'd listen to The Sound of Animals Fighting or something along those lines. They haven't combined a lot of genres here either; they've added keyboards to growls and chugs on a guitar. This is nonsense and certainly not worth listening to.

This is pure garbage.

What happened to attempts to write creative, timeless music? When did being disposable become cool?

I wish these guys little success, if any, as it's all they deserve. Anyone with GarageBand can mash a bunch of trash together. What they need to do is set these tunes on fire, rather than their friends.

Cd leaked a while ago.
Not that great, no, but it is their first album and they are pretty young.
They're great guys, they take time to talk to fans and stuff.
