I’m not sure if there are any From First to Last or Skrillex fans on steemit, but Skrillex made a new song with his old band they released for free today

In high school I was a huge From First to Last fan, but after Sonny Moore(Skrillex) left the band for EDM, they didn’t release anything that cool. I actually opened up for FFTL once and got to hang out with Sonny and the rest of the band for the evening. It’s one of my fondest memories. Well today they got the old band together and released a track for free!

It’s ok I guess, but I was hoping it would be heavier, and more industrial sounding like their masterpiece album Heroin. I love that album. They incorporated industrial sounds, and guitar tones that made something truly unique. Back then Sonny had some pipes on him to. He was only 15 when he joined the band, and I think he was 17 when they recorded Heroin. He’s an amazing talent. He went on to bring dubstep to the mainstream and produced some great tracks in that genre as well. Who else could say they became the biggest name in two separate genres before they could legally drink?

If you haven’t heard Sonny before he was Skrillex, here is one of my favorite tracks by FFTL. Oh the nostalgia...

Oh man! From First to Last brings back some good memories. Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has a Body Count was on repeat in my first car for quite awhile...

Yup, those were the days. I was kinda disappointed in this new track. When I first heard he recorded a song with them I was stoked. I guess I got myself to hyped.

Yeah I was a little disappointed too.

Love it!
