Miami, Florida (2007 – present)
I Set My Friends On Fire are a post-hardcore band formed in Miami, Florida in 2007. The band’s original lineup consisted of Matt Mehana and Nabil Moo. Chris Lent joined the band in 2009 and is their current drummer and studio guitarist. Their touring lead and rhythm guitarists are Andrew Tapley and Joe Nelson, respectively.
I Set My Friends On Fire plays an experimental style of post-hardcore which blends elements from other genres including electronic and mathcore. The vocal styles include screamed, clean, and Auto-Tuned vocals, and synth and sequencers are used.
They garnered plenty attention from their debut single, a rendition of “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” (their version being “Crank That”), which was originally posted to their MySpace page. The band released a self-titled EP before releasing their debut album, You Can’t Spell Slaughter Without Laughter, via Epitaph on October 7, 2008.
I Set My Friends On Fire began recording and writing their second album in early 2010. They performed at The Bamboozle on May 1, 2010, and finished up the album in June. The first single, “Excite Dyke,” was released digitally on June 15, 2010, as part of an Epitaph compilation CD titled New Noise Vol. 1. The band played on the Scream It Like You Mean It 2010 tour with Silverstein, Emery, We Came As Romans, Dance Gavin Dance, Sky Eats Airplane, Ivoryline, and Close To Home, and it was announced on this tour that Nabil Moo had left the band. Blake Steiner, guitarist of From First To Last, played for ISMFOF for the rest of the tour.

@bobo9390 "Astral Rejection was pretty genius"...wow you have a pretty loose use of the term genius, that record was garbage, the first one was only good because of Nabil
