On January 9th of 2011, A Lot Like Birds announced that Kurt Travis (Ex of Dance Gavin Dance, Five Minute Ride, No Not Constant, and O! the Joy) would be the new singer and second front-man, alongside Cory Lockwood. With their acclaimed addition, the band quickly signed to Doghouse Records (All American Rejects, Say Anything, The Get Up Kids) and acquired The Artery Foundation (Asking Alexandria, Dance Gavin Dance, Alesana) as management.
Their debut album Plan B was the brainchild of the band’s guitarist/original vocalist Michael Franzino, who invited several talented musicians in the Sacramento scene (Including various orchestral instrumentalists and a female vocalist) to perform on the record. They spent their first year of existence diligently perfecting their live set, building their fan base, and most recently, writing their sophomore album as a collaborative effort. Their live set is known for setting deep moods that swing from thoughtful, emotional build-ups to body-moving, epic climaxes.
After signing both deals, they entered Interlace Audio Recording Studio with producer / engineer Kris Crummet (Closure In Moscow, Fear Before, Dance Gavin Dance) to record their second full length, Conversation Piece.
After it's release in the fall of 2011, Conversation Piece received praise and they were called "one of post-hardcore’s most important new bands and one of the few capable of saving the scene." (-MindEqualsBlown.net).
A Lot Like Birds spent all of 2012 on the road, taking their new album and frenzied live antics to the masses. The positive reception to their high energy performances lead to a one month tour of Europe in February 2013. The band's growing fan base fueled powerful performances in London, Paris, Vienna, Budapest and 19 other cities.
ALLB Released their 2nd LP 'No Place' with Equal Vision Records on October 29th, 2013.
ALLB released their 3rd LP 'DIVISI' with Equal Vision Records on May 5th, 2017.
On February 17, 2018, A Lot Like Birds announced their break-up.

What meaning are you talking about?
Because all I see at those shows are kids with no cash who are completely dependent on their parents.
And they're too fucking sad to grow up and make a living for themselves so they sit around and cry all day.
There is NOTHING good about flooding your ears with depression.
You need therapy.
@dengekitomato
I’m so mad that I discovered this band too late. I’d love to see them live. But I also glad that I discovered them to enjoy the music they left behind. These guys are amazing.
@TragicHeroMat
Agreed dude, I just discovered them a couple of days ago it's a real shame they broke up.
@jessecopeman579

@MatthewStevensOrMattDave
"The whispering walls sound like an endless corridor..." The instrumentation from A Lot Like Birds is always top notch... Those riffs, the grooves... The vocal melodies, the harmonies, the screams... Definitely one of my all time favourite songs and videos.
