New From First to Last with Sonny Moore

2017-01-16 by Brett W | 60 Comments
Post-hardcore/emo band From First to Last have released a new song entitled "Make War", which features previous vocalist Sonny Moore (aka Skrillex) on lead vocals once again.

Moore used to sing for From First to Last from 2004-2007 but left the band to pursue a career in electronic music.

It's okay. Solid, but nothing special. It's nice to hear Sonny singing again, I've always enjoyed his voice - especially now that he seems to have improved a ton.

not a fan of band or Sonny (outside of dear diary) but goddamn, props to him for doing this. It's so far below him at this point but he knows there's some old fags who loved fftl.

Fuckin class right here

Those lyrics are next level bad. The song is pretty bad in itself but god damn.

I wanted this to be decent, I adored this band back in the day, and I still occasionally enjoy listening to Sonny on their old material. But no, this is pretty much garbage.

This ain't that bad, but I was never a fan anyway. Pretty cool that Sunny would be willing to come back and make music with them again.

@CoryHaimsGhost im pretty sure I didn't qualify 'below him' with anything like 'creatively' or 'artistically"... just that it is below him. He's doing big shit these days, colabs with Rick Ross and Justin Beiber, playing to packed fucking stadiums.

What is fftl doing lately?

Put me in the camp that thinks this is cool. I dig that Sonny decided to do this (maybe more music too?) when he really didn't have to, and I think it's a cool throwback and pretty catchy.

That's a cool guitar riff but the rest of this is very meh. His vocals are a lot less all over the place and that's what made them good BACK IN THE DAY.

God this band has had more lead vocalists than anyone

Bridge was really fun and brought me back, rest was OK. Glad the overdrumming and oversinging seem to be gone.

Oh my god those lyrics are so awful. I didn't really listen carefully to them at first, honestly they drag my opinion of this down significantly.

It's pretty fun, but the production is very generic and the drum in the pre-chorus sounds like it want to turn into the drop of a dancesong. I'm probably gonna forget this exists within a week.

barring the lyrics, this song is decent. Sonny's vocals are nice and the music is catchy. It's whatever.

Yeah this is mediocre as shit, their last album was a lot better. I hope this is just the mediocre first single and that the rest of the album isn't like this.

"Moore used to sing for From First to Last from 2004-2007 but left the band to pursue a career in electronic music."

Pretty sure this is factually inaccurate, didn't he leave the band because he ruined his vocals screaming for the band and only pursued his career under the name Skrillex years after his departure from the band?

@JWT I didn't know that. I thought he left to become Skrillex

Snide

He started making electronic music because he fucked up his vocal chords. He probably needed the time to recover.

I'm not sure the exact reason he left FFTL, but when he first left he started his own solo project as Sonny Moore before Skrillex and it featured plenty of singing

There was definitely a period between him leaving FFTL and him becoming Skrillex

yeah he put out a whole EP called Gypsyhook and actually planned to release more stuff, but then decided to start Skrillex

also can't wait for the inevitable Trebor. review if they drop a whole album

Call me a optimist, but with Derek Bloom back I expect at least something slightly above average

Apparently Travis is on drums and this produced by John Feldmann which is why it sounds like shit?

Feldy is a good producer. Just listened to this and the lyrics are wtf level bad.

I hate Feldmann's production, it's super glossy and strips away the power and force from the instruments.

Yes the lyrics are bad on this but whether or not Derek Bloom is on this is kind of a big deal to me, does anyone have any info on this? I mean it sounds like a restrained version of what he would normally write, so I'm not really sure...
