About I See Stars

I See Stars emerged from Columbus, Ohio in the late 2000s as part of the metalcore wave, but they've always been the nerdy cousin at the party. Their early work landed somewhere between the aggression of metalcore and the intricate arrangements that suggested band members actually knew what a synthesizer was for. Around "The Reckoning" they started leaning harder into the electronics side, layering synths and samples over breakdowns in ways that felt genuinely experimental rather than gimmicky. They've never been the biggest name in the genre, but they've maintained a dedicated following through consistent releases and a willingness to actually evolve their sound instead of retreading the same riffs. The band hit a high point with their electronic-leaning material, proving they could make heavy music that didn't feel anachronistic. They're the kind of band that appeals to people who got into metalcore but also like progressive rock and electronic music, and they seem genuinely comfortable existing in that weird middle ground.

Their shows are tight and heavy, with the electronic elements hitting harder in person than you'd expect. The pit gets serious during the breakdowns, but there's usually a thoughtful crowd that actually listens between the harder moments. Fans seem to know every word, which suggests real loyalty.

Known for 3D, The Reckoning, Infected, Tremor, Digital Blackout

Live Music in Los Angeles

Los Angeles has always been fragmented—pop, hip-hop, and indie rule the mainstream conversation, but the city's metalcore and post-hardcore scenes have stayed active in smaller venues and festivals. I See Stars, who've drifted toward electronic experimentation and synth-heavy production, occupy a weird middle ground that LA's experimental rock audiences might actually get into if they show up.

Los Angeles road trip to see I See Stars?

Stay in Los Feliz, where you can walk tree-lined streets and catch views from Griffith Observatory. Dinner at Republique in the Arts District—refined French-inspired food in a restored factory space that feels more Paris than LA. Spend an afternoon at the Huntington Library in San Marino, a world-class art collection that justifies the drive. The city's recording studio history is everywhere; walk through Hollywood and you're literally surrounded by the spaces where hits were made. End the night at a jazz bar like The Fonda Theatre or catch live music on Sunset Boulevard.
