Well it goes alllll the way back to Matt and Scott, they grew up in the same apartment complex.Scott convinced Matt to take up guitar even though he really didn't want to, but when he started playing he loved it. Scott learned bass and they found a drummer, he was 12, his name was Parker Nelms.

They played around town for a little bit then i knew Matt from bloomingdale high school i approached him and asked to play drums he was like "blah blah we already have a drummer". But i convinced him to let me show him what we could do together. He came over and we jammed in the garage they kicked out Parker and we played together as "first too last" around Florida and went on small east coast tours for about 3 years.

Then we released like 4 independent cd's, kicked Scott out for personal issues, got joey to play bass got Travis from Eastdale to play guitar changed the name to "From First To Last", played for a few months. um, we started having different creative differences and opinions so we parted ways....

From first to last started when I started playing music with Matt. It was Matt, myself, joey (bass) and Steve. we parted ways with Steve and this was the first transformation sorta..enter Greg. Greg was a screamo (real screamo like daughters and orcid) he played drums and we wrote a three song demo and recorded it with him. The demo got around to 3 lables, Orange peel, Four leaf and Equal vision. We Hooked up with four leaf and after one tour we were ready to record an e.p. we were living in Orlando at the time except for Greg who lived in st. Pete.

Our friend Derek was in a black metal band called memories of lenoir in Orlando and had mutual friends. we all started hanging out a lot and one day we were bored and decided to start a grindcore band with Derek called "skeleton slaughter vs. fetus destroyer" which later became the onslaught of the "color of violence". We fell in love with his drumming and decided we wanted to hear his interpretations of "from first to last" songs, so we tried him out and it was perfect, so we nixed Greg.

We had one more tour before we recorded our e.p. and had just gotten tight with Derek on drums when Phil came into the picture, which was an addition made by joey. Without hearing him sing or anything he joined the band and came on tour and learned all the lyrics on tour. He played like a total of 5 shows and it was time to record. So basically both records (e.p. and dear diary) were both recorded with vital members being in the band for not long at all.

After getting signed to Epitaph we immediately began writing our full length which took place a shit of an apt in Gainseville, Fl. A majority of the record was written in about 2 weeks except for "emily", "hidden song" and "naked on the internet" which were all written on the spot in the studio.

We parted ways with Phil and started recording without a singer. Sonny flew out to Georgia to try out for guitar cause Matt was gonna sing, but it just worked out that sonny sang and that's history.
