Finally Something Refreshing To A Scene That Was Sounding The Same, June 13, 2009
I stumbled across the name of this band online and became curious because it was such a outragious name. So I went to their myspace page and my ears heard something I hadn't heard in a long time, something different/original. I was first suprised that the band consisted of two members, and that alot of the sounds were programmed. So when I went to their myspace page, I just hit play on their music player and to my shock, the music was catchy, heavy, brutal, and even melodic. Now don't think this is another iwrestledabearonce, far from it. To me this band represents at times what a screamo band should sound like, catchy, emotional, and makes you wanna sing along, or scream. I grew up on poison the well so when I think screamo, alot of what is considered screamo today to me isn't. Now I set my friends on fire deliver's a screamo feel that I had forgotten about. For example the song, things that rhyme with orange has to be one of the best songs I have heard in a long time. Now they also deliver on bringing the heavy and grind, and even smack you with some breakdowns. This cd gives you everything and in the best jaw dropping way. They do not ruin any genre, and have impressed me very much. I can't wait to see what their next album sounds like.

Brilliant, December 28, 2009
ISMFOF's "You Can't Spell Slaughter Without Laughter," an album whose title I think came from a t-shirt on [...], is a brilliant combination of comedic immaturity and musical genius; yes, I wrote it: "musical genius."
My favorite band above all is The Beatles. If favoriting a band means listening to them more than others, then for a solid three months, (the three after I first heard them), ISMFOF was my favorite band. The only other $h!t on my iPod was Isis and Rotating Mouth. As much as I like Isis and absolutely adore RM, ISMFOF received much more spin, shall we say.
The actual review: I DL'd their songs through uT and they were all of differing quality. Two were extremely faint and scratchy, and one other one was WAY WAY too loud. I'm talking other-people-can-hear-it-clearly-through-my-headphones loud. So of the what, eleven? songs on the cd, I know 8. These figures are estimates, so if you're an avid fan, don't get pissed that I messed up. There might be 13 songs for all I know. I'm just too un-low to check. So maybe I know 7 or 9 songs; they all rock to the utmost, regardless. If through readership you have gained a trust in my authorship, then that's the only review you need. THEY ROCK!
I'm extremely picky about emo music and all its sub-genres. My favorite emo-related bands are ADTR, The High Court and Gatsby's American Dream, because the lyrics match the intensity of the music, unlike in most emo. In the 8 songs I have of ISMFOF there are at least 7 different genres explored, and well:
Emo, Screamo, Electronica, Post-Hardcore, Hardcore, Indie Rock, Death Metal
If you like at least three of the above genres, buy the damn CD. -GG
