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.

In support of their then upcoming new album Astral Rejection, the band joined the Artery Foundation Across the Nation tour and is playing all of Warped Tour 2011.

Greeley Estates is a post-hardcore/metalcore band formed in Phoenix, Arizona in 2002.

While being in a post-hardcore band may not be extraordinarily unique, Greeley Estates pushes to the front of the pack as one of the few young bands putting the relationship with their fans above all else. Greeley Estates live shows go unparalleled. With a dynamic style reflecting numerous musical backgrounds, Greeley captures the audience and sears a lasting impression. Stripped to its core, the musical foundation reflects catchy melody and pop sensibility infinitely amplified by a hardcore edge and intense vocals.

Although Greeley Estates calls Arizona home, they are more often found navigating the pages of an atlas. In addition to performing nightly, Greeley emphasizes getting to know fans on a personal level, providing the human identity that is clearly evident in their lyrics and presence. Though Greeley Estates' journey has just begun, they've already achieved unparalleled significance among their peers. They've completed 3 national tours including every date of Vans Warped Tour 2005. They've self-released a full length album Outside of This and a full length DVD The Death of Greeley Estates - both of which have garnered a top-five spot on SmartPunk's overall sales rankings.

Celebrating their recent signing to Record Collection and the release of their second album, the EP Caveat Emptor, Greeley Estates co-headlined the MySpace Fall Tour 2005 . They returned to the studio in January 2006 to record their second full-length album and then continued touring on Taste of Chaos 2006. In a world of fabricated celebrity, people are finding honest authenticity in Greeley Estates - not only in their music and performance, but in their efforts, their character, and lives that serve as the foundation for their music.

On January 31, 2007, bassist Josh Applebach announced that he would leave Greeley Estates for a teaching career in Arizona. Bradley Murray (previously with Versus the Mirror) from Tucson, Arizona became their touring bassist. His first live appearance with the band was on February 3, 2007 in Safford, Arizona.

On June 3, 2007, guitarist Dallas Smith announced that he would be leaving the band in order to start up a family with his wife and expected twin daughters (he and his wife were to subsequently lose the pregnancy). He made this announcement via a MySpace bulletin and announced that his last show would be June 20, 2007 at the Clubhouse in Tempe, Arizona.

After their Mexican tour with Silverstein, Brad Murray left the band for personal reasons.

On September 4, 2007, Greeley Estates recorded their new album. The two new members of Greeley Estates include Alex Torres (previously with Eyes Set to Kill) and Joshua Ferguson (previously with Glory Nights)

After the band finished recording their new album Go West Young Man, Let The Evil Go East, Joshua Ferguson left to complete his apprenticeship as a hair stylist at BLACK MARKET HAIR in Calgary, Alberta, Canada; personal reasons seem to be why he left.

Greeley Estates had announced Tyler "Telle" SMith as their new bassist, who was formerly of In Fear and Faith. Telle played his first show with the band on February 9, 2008, at the Clubhouse in Tempe, Arizona.

In 2003 Greeley Estates had a track, entitled "Let The Evil Go East", on the Warped Tour 2008 compilation album.

Their latest album titled Go West Young Man, Let The Evil Go East was released May 6, 2008. For the track "Blue Morning" on their new album, Greeley Estates hired music video director Daniel Chesnut to create a high energy, intense video, to match the band's new persona.

On Friday, November 14, 2008, Greeley Estates announced that their newest bassist "Telle", found within the course of the same year, had left the band. The blog on their MySpace stated:

"Once again, the curse of the Greeley bass players.... has struck again! Eight hours before leaving for the Alesana tour, Telle told us that he would no longer be in Greeley Estates. But don't fret! We will not be missing any shows... we could never do that to you guys/girls! Our tour manager Dave is filling in last minute for us. This means, you all need to come out and sing louder than ever. See you soon!!!!"

A new song, entitled "Seven Hours", is streaming on their MySpace page. There will be 12 tracks on the new album. The album's artwork was recently posted on their newest MySpace blog. On the 27th of November, the band uploaded a second song off the new album. The song is called "Jealousy Breeds Killing Sprees" which features guest vocals from longtime friend Craig Mabbitt, from Escape the Fate. Another new song from album "No Rain, No Rainbow" entited "Friends Are Friends For Never" was posted on their MySpace page on January 6th. The album will be released on January 26th.

A Bullet For Pretty Boy is a metalcore band founded in 2006 in Longview, Texas. Formed by several close friends, the band decided to name themselves after infamous bank robber Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd. By December 2006 the band played their first show and no one came.... A Bullet for Pretty Boy hasn't looked back since , followed up by the self-released EP "Beauty in the Eyes of the Beholder" the following year.

With some solid experience at their back, and clear road before them, A Bullet for Pretty Boy finally feels like a complete set. They've poured all their energy into this project and absolutely love writing, recording and especially performing their music. "We've had our struggles in the past, what band hasn't?" says guitarist Derrick Sechrist, "But every time we get up on that stage and feel the energy of the crowd, we know we're doing something special. That energy, that's our fuel, that's what drives us to excel." Spreading the amazing message of Jesus Christ among a traditionally disenchanted youth certainly merits at least a second look. "We understand that the message of Jesus is complicated," adds keyboardist Joshua Modisette, "But we also understand the need for his message. It's an uplifting, inspirational message and a critical balance to the violence and nihilism that dominates the scene today. We feel it's time people started caring about that message again, and we know that with His help we can make that happen."

ABFPB was signed to Artery Recordings (distributed through Razor & Tie) in December 2009 and plan to release a full length album later in 2010. The band will tour in May and June 2010 on the Welcome to the Circus Tour with Asking Alexandria, We Came as Romans, From First to Last, and Our Last Night.

A Lot Like Birds is a 6-8 piece progressive rock/post-hardcore outfit from Sacramento, CA known for their tendency to experiment with several diverse genre influences and their incorporation of orchestral and ambient sound-scapes contrasted by chaotic, schizophrenic episodes. On January 9th of 2011, A Lot Like Birds announced that Kurt Travis (Ex of Dance Gavin Dance, Five Minute Ride, No Not Constant, and O! the Joy) would be the new singer and second front-man, alongside Cory Lockwood. With their acclaimed addition, the band quickly signed to Doghouse Records (All American Rejects, Say Anything, The Get Up Kids) and acquired The Artery Foundation (Asking Alexandria, Dance Gavin Dance, Alesana) as management.

Their debut album Plan B was the brainchild of the band's guitarist/original vocalist Michael Franzino, who invited several talented musicians in the Sacramento scene (Including various orchestral instrumentalists and a female vocalist) to perform on the record. They spent their first year of existence diligently perfecting their live set, building their fan base, and most recently, writing their sophomore album as a collaborative effort. Their live set is known for setting deep moods that swing from thoughtful, emotional build-ups to body-moving, epic climaxes.

In June of 2011, A Lot Like Birds entered Interlace Audio recording studio with Producer/Engineer Kris Crummet (Closure In Moscow, Fear Before, Dance Gavin Dance) to record their second full length album "Conversation Piece", which will be released on Doghouse Records on October 11th.
