From First to Last
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) and Derek Bloom (drums). 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.
First Too Last was created in November 1999 in Tampa by Matt Good, Michael Blanchard and Scott Oord. Oord played bass, while Good took on lead vocals and also played guitar. Parker Nelms was the drummer, and held practice at his house. When the band began to travel, Nelms was replaced by Steve Pullman due to his age. This rounded out the lineup that, for the next three years, would play small shows in Florida.
In 2002, Good joined the grindcore band the Color of Violence (at that time, called Slaughter vs Skeleton, Fetus Destroyer), where he met guitarist Travis Richter, and bassist Joey Antillion. Some time later, Greg Taylor joined on drums and wrote 4 songs, in which the Aesthetic Demos were created. After hearing the demos of what would become their first EP, Phillip Reardon (lead vocals) and Derek Bloom (drums) joined the band. By the end of the year, they had changed their name to From First To Last.
In 2003, the band released their debut EP Aesthetic on Four Leaf Recordings which featured the vocals of Reardon, Good and Richter. The EP was an underground success, and during that year, the band toured heavily across the United States with bands such as Spitalfield and Alexisonfire. On September 5, 2003, From First To Last parted ways with Joey Antillion, who was subsequently replaced by Jon Weisberg for the band's remaining tour dates for that year. On November 13, 2003, the band announced that they had signed to Epitaph Records, and said they were planning on recording their debut album in January 2004.
After the Aesthetic EP, the band wanted to move Matt Good to lead vocals. However, Good was reluctant to take on both lead vocal and lead guitar duties. He wanted From First to Last to have a frontman to connect with the crowd better. Using the social networking site MySpace, Good came in contact with a guitarist and singer from California, Sonny Moore. Moore flew to Valdosta, Georgia, where Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has a Bodycount was being recorded. He was set to be the band's rhythm guitarist. However, when the other band members heard Moore singing "Featuring Some of Your Favorite Words", they decided that he was much better suited for lead singer than guitarist.
