About

From First to Last is an American post-hardcore band formed in Tampa, Florida, by Matt Good, Scott Oord, and Parker Nelms in November 1999. The current lineup consists of Matt Good (lead vocals and lead guitar), Travis Richter (rhythm guitar and unclean vocals), Matt Manning (bass guitar and backing vocals), Chris Lent (drums) and Lil Lotus (vocals). The band released their first EP, Aesthetic, in 2003, which they recorded with founding member and vocalist Phillip Reardon. Reardon left the band in 2004 due to personal and creative differences. After signing with Epitaph Records, the band recruited Sonny Moore as their vocalist.

The band's first two albums, Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has a Bodycount (2004) and Heroine (2006), were both underground successes, selling a combined total of 304,000 copies in the United States by 2008 despite a lack of radio airplay. The band cultivated a large following on MySpace during this period, with the band's songs receiving over 20 million streams on the platform by March 2008.

Following the departure of Moore in February 2007 to pursue a solo career, the band added bassist Matt Manning, and Good moved to lead vocals/guitar. After signing with Suretone Records, the band issued their third album, From First to Last in 2008. It received mixed reviews, and despite receiving a high-profile marketing campaign from said label, the album undersold expectations. The band moved to Rise Records in 2009, and not long after, Richter left the band. Their fourth album, Throne to the Wolves, was released in March 2010. In July of the same year, the band took a break.

In November 2013, the band re-formed with Periphery vocalist Spencer Sotelo as the new lead vocalist, and Richter rejoined the band. They released their fifth album Dead Trees in April 2015. Sotelo departed the band in July 2016. Former vocalist Sonny Moore rejoined in January 2017. In May 2020, Matt Good admitted that while there are a few tracks that could be on a new album, he is unsure if it will ever come to fruition.

From First to Last, également abrégé FFTL, est un groupe américain de post-hardcore, originaire de Tampa, en Floride. Le groupe publie son premier EP intitulé Aesthetic en 2003 qui sera enregistré avec le chanteur et fondateur Phillip Reardon qui quittera le groupe en 2004 à cause de divergences créatives et personnelles. Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has a Body Count suit en 2004 et Heroine en 2006, avec Moore.

Après le départ de Moore, en février 2007, pour se consacrer à son projet solo, Skrillex, le groupe recrute un bassiste permanent, Matt Manning, et Good endosse la guitare et le chant. Ils publient leur album éponyme en 2008 au label Suretone Records. Le 27 août 2009, From First to Last confirme au Punk Rock Show, animé par DJ Rossstar, avoir quitté Suretone et est désormais signé chez Rise Records. À la fin de 2009, ils se séparent du guitariste et chanteur Travis Richter. Leur quatrième album studio, Throne to the Wolves, est publié le 16 mars 2010. Le 28 juillet 2010, le groupe se met en pause.

En novembre 2013, From First to Last se reforme après trois ans de pause, et lance un appel aux dons sur Kickstarter pour financer leur nouvel EP enregistré aux côtés de Travis Richter. En avril 2014, Richter et Goodfont une annonce vidéo et réenregistrent The Latest Plague issue de l'album Heroine (2006) chez Alternative Press avec le chanteur de Periphery, Spencer Sotelo. En 2015, ils publient un nouvel album intitulé Dead Trees au label Sumerian Records. En juillet 2016, Sotelo quitte le groupe.
