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.

CAPTAIN CAVEMAN 01-14-2008 10:44 PM

this is a joke, terrible band

under 01-14-2008 11:07 PM

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.

CAPTAIN CAVEMAN 01-14-2008 11:17 PM

THEY ARE NOT A SCREAMO BAND

SATCHMO 01-15-2008 12:35 AM

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

Clownbaby 01-15-2008 10:04 PM

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

vheissu743 01-24-2008 05:27 PM

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

RyRau 02-13-2008 11:46 PM

Stole the name from an aiden song, not cool.

TheGreatestNerd 02-14-2008 07:15 AM

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

[MERIT] 02-14-2008 01:05 PM

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

under 09-06-2008 04:51 PM

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

Rubber 12-13-2008 04:35 PM

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

Kirby 12-13-2008 05:59 PM

Listened to a few songs.

any thotts

SolitaryBlue 02-09-2009 12:08 AM

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.

zappafan23 02-09-2009 12:27 AM

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....

Rubber 02-09-2009 06:30 PM

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

OhMyOhMy 03-03-2009 10:50 AM

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.

Whitechapelfan200 03-03-2009 05:26 PM

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.

pahuuuta 03-04-2009 08:19 AM

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.

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.

They didn't used to be

bubu 04-16-2010 11:17 AM

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

Shattered Dreams 04-17-2010 07:49 PM

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

LighteningChicken 04-17-2010 07:52 PM

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

gunnels 04-17-2010 08:40 PM

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.
