I Set My Friends On Fire
 

There doesn't seem to be an experimental/screamo forum on this site so ill put this here.

any of you heard of ISMFOF. They're actually really amazing.

Their "Crank Dat" cover is really good lol. I like it so much. Also I think most of their drum beats are made on PC and they sound really really good. They actually have some talent if they would just not write such stupid lyrics I could get into a lot more.

Get the **** out of here.
Experimental/screamo my testicles, more like experimental dog crap.

not at all experimental or screamo,



this is a joke, terrible band

terrible band my arse. try listening to some of the wannabee screamo bands and come back to this one. you'll know they have talent. they're better than any other screamo i've heard in some time.

As an Experiment, I decided to set my own friends on fire, and they screamed "OH, OH IT BURNS. PUT ME OUT THIS INSTANT!!!!!!"

As a very bad experiment I decided to listen to this and it was so bad I screamoed cuz my ears were bleeding

I like their cover of Crank Dat; it was a funny gimmick, but as far as their other material, I'm not too impressed.

Stole the name from an aiden song, not cool.

I thought that was an Aiden song.
Ah well, I may well have a listen.

This band is horrible, and theyre not even screamo. My frined urged me to check them out a few weeks back, tisk, tisk.

they've been signed now. so i dont care if you still hate them. they're "band" enough to be a band now

Guys, I kind of like this band. Help me. I'm scared.

This band is pretty terrible.
I heard them a few months ago.

Downloaded the CD.
Listened to a few songs.
Deleted CD.

On Tour Now :shycouch:

any thotts

some of my friends like them. i think some of theyre songs and videos are funny. but i dont really take them seriously. i merely listen to them for the novelty i guess.

I listened to like 20 seconds of one song, and that is pretty awful.. "screamo bands" are terrible.... Good song writing plays a major part in music, and since you cant really understand what they are saying and what you hear sounds like crap, I have to give this post a thumbs down... If you listen to a band like Pantera scream, it's actually cool, this band is just awful... Just because they have a deal doesnt make them great. Look at all the bands that have had a deal over the past 40 years, they are awful too, but atleast you know what they are singing about....

yeah you tell em! **** this new fangled music!

ISMFOF is 'aight'. lol I'm new here, and I saw this banter about ismfof and how everyone pretty much thinks they suck...
You guys should check out another Miami band that might suck less to all of you guys. They're called Unarmed For Victory.

I saw them at Revolution Live sometime last year, and they had a pretty rad performance. Don't listen to that one song "Wake Up Suit" or something like that though. It kinda sucks hahaha.

I think that ISMFOF is an awesome band.I think that Matt(the guy who does most of the screams)is an awesome screamer.I wish I could scream as good as him.

wow this is horrible bull ****, sounds like animals getting hit by vehicles

You've been warned about this, if you can't say anything constructive then don't bother.

Don't you mean 'well'?

I like this band alot. M favorite song by them is "but the NUNS are watching"

ISMFOF - Discography
 

I Set My Friends On Fire Discography. Written by IYT.

I Set My Friends On Fire is a post-hardcore duo formed by Matt Mehana and Nabil Moo from Miami, Florida in 2007.
Matt Mehana – vocals, lyrics
Nabil Moo – vocals, guitars, percussions, and programming

Matt and Nabil owe their success to Myspace. Myspace is where Matt and Nabil made themselves known with their remix of the song “Crank That Soulja Boy” by Soulja Boy Tell Em’ entitled “Crack That Calvary Kid”. Crank That Calvary Boy became so popular on Myspace with over one million plays that their profile was deleted a total of three times because Myspace thought they were using programs to increase the number of plays they have on their profiles. I Set My Friends On Fire then seen pretty much instant success.

After all of that the group decided to sign to Epitaph Records where they then released their debut album “You Can’t Spell Slaughter Without Laughter” in October of 2007. The album was not an instant success though. It went through a lot of trouble from the reviews being called “high in the running for worst album of the year”. “The music aims for brutality and melody, but misses the mark entirely on both counts”. “Truly fails because it has exactly zero memorable moments”. Putting aside the bad reviews I Set My Friends On Fire plan to go on tour with bands like A Skylit Drive and Abandon Ship in may on 2010.

considering aiden is an awful band too

Yeah I don't like Aiden.

AFI wannabees tbh

AFI is a bad band. yuck.

They didn't used to be

In the stressed world we live in today I can't imagine anyone has the conceit to listen to people's screaming, but that's just me

ISMFOF is an amazing band. Matt has such a unique scream. I have never seen them live yet, but I am awaiting that moment.

Captain Caveman, are you stupid? ISMFOF is actually one of the better screamo bands.

Yeah cuz your opinion is fact.

That's a nice post to kick off your stay. I wouldn't say they are "one of the best" but they are good.
