Biography

Detroit, United States (1999 – 2009)

Fordirelifesake (often typeset in all lowercase) were a post-hardcore band from Detroit, Michigan. They played a highly progressive combination of melodic hardcore and technical metal. Formed in 1999, the band self-released their first EP in 2000. During this time, they began playing shows with bands such as Poison the Well, Walls of Jericho, and New Found Glory.

In 2002, fordirelifesake signed to Cloud Over Head Records and released their first full-length album, Breathing In Is Only Half the Function. The band toured extensively with Boys Night Out in support of the album. After signing to Forge Again Records, the band released a remastered version of this album. During this time, they continued with their rigorous tour schedule, playing with bands such as Thursday. Their first split was with a fellow Michigan band, Wafflehouse*. During a brief European tour, the band was approached by Skipworth Records to release their album in Europe and Asia. In 2003, Skipworth released the split with Deluge, a band from the Netherlands.

The band moved to Thorp Records. In 2004, fordirelifesake released their second full-length, Dance.Pretend.Forget.Defend. After the release of the album, guitarist Brian Southall left the band to join Boys Night Out. Another member of Boys Night Out, Kara Dupuy has performed guest vocals in several fordirelifesake songs. During the summer of 2005, the band re-released their self-titled EP and a collection of tracks from split releases as A Daydream Disaster.

    HOLY SHIT THE TRACKLISTING FOR A DAYDREAM DISASTER IS WRONG, it's even printed wrong on the CD. "Sweet, We Forgot To Name Our Cover Song" is actually "We Burn In Our Own Comfort"... I even checked the lyrics, when playing Sweet, We Forgot the lyrics are from We Burn. And Sweet, We Forgot is named We Burn on a sampler I have somewhere.

    just saw these guys live (probably for the last time) and it was very epic and nostalgic in the sense that the music scene, specifically post-hardcore and such, has changed so much since even these guys. and in my opinion they were one of the best of their kind. gonna miss this shit and all the shows and people who came together to experience their music. long live fordirelifesake.
