Before the release of 3D, the band released an EP titled Green Light, Go! and a self titled compilation of demos before being signed to Sumerian Records, where they've since remained. They also released a few Pre-Production demos of songs that would later be featured on 3D. Shortly after the albums release, Zack Johnson would leave the band and temporarily be replaced by Chris Moore, who was also featured on the bands music videos for 3-D and What This Means To Me. Johnson returned after Moore left the band due to "artistic differences" and joined the band on Warped Tour 2010.
The band released their second full-length album The End of the World Party on February 22, 2011. The album is noticeably different from 3D as it's a lot less heavy and more pop punk sounding. They played Soundwave 2011 in Australia, supported We the Kings alongside VersaEmerge in the United Kingdom, and played on the 2011 AP Tour along with Conditions, VersaEmerge, Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows, and Black Veil Brides. The band also made its national TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live performing "Glow" and "What This Means to Me."
I See Stars joined the 2011 Scream It Like You Mean It tour supporting its headliners Breathe Carolina and Chiodos, and also featuring Mod Sun, The Color Morale, and The Air I Breathe.
I See Stars released their third full-length album, Digital Renegade, on March 13, 2012. They took a heavier, more hardcore route with this release, but they still retained that electronic feel, with synthesized clean and screamed vocals. It also features guest vocals by Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria on the track "Endless Sky," as well as guest vocals by Cassadee Pope of Hey Monday fame on the track "Electric Forest."
Before the release of their fourth album, New Demons, which released on October 22, 2013, the band exclusively premiered their first single for the album, Violent Bounce [People Like ¥øµ] on Alternative Press and played Ten Thousand Feet live during Warped Tour 2013. On August 27, 2013, the band announced their North American headlining tour Started From The Bottom Now We Here with The Word Alive, Crown the Empire, and guests Dayshell, Get Scared, and Palisades, which started on October 29 and ended on November 24.
On July 31, 2015, the band released an acoustic album titled Phases, which featured many of their older songs reimagined as acoustic songs along with a few cover songs that were also acoustic. Jimmy Gregerson would be kicked from the band due to unknown reasons and Zach Johnson was kicked from the band as well. Devin would replace Zach as the unclean vocalist and Andrew Oliver would be moved from drums to keyboards and synth. The bands fifth album, Treehouse , was released on June 17, 2016. This album, unlike their previous two, isn't very heavy and is more chill. Acoustic versions of some songs from the album were released on April 6, 2018.
After a 5 year hiatus and Instagram account wipe, the band finally teased that they'd be releasing new material soon. According to the band on Twitter, the highly anticipated sixth album will feature more than 12 songs.

We both know
Don't you tell me how time flies
It's so slow
All the love in the world
We both show
But when it comes to something real
So tell me how does it feel, to know
That your lies (your lies)
Won't save you now?
To know, your lies
Your lies, your lies
Won't save you now
Sorry, sorry
We're watching things unravel slowly
You're just trying to get away from yourself
It's obvious you're speaking in languages I can't read
You just hide and confide in someone else
Oh oh
Don't you tell me all them lies
We both know
Don't you tell me how time flies
I'ts so slow
All the love in the world
We both show
But when it comes to something real
We both choke
So tell me how does it feel, to know
That your lies (your lies)
Won't save you now?
To know, that your lies
Your lies, your lies
Won't save you now
We're watching things unravel slowly
You're just trying to get away from yourself
It's obvious you're speaking in languages I can't read
You just hide and confide in someone else
Oh oh
Your lies, your lies, your lies
Your lies
The song Calm Snow by I See Stars speaks to the themes of lies, love, and betrayal. The opening lines of the song, "Don't you tell me all them lies, we both know," immediately sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The first verse speaks to a love between two people, but also alludes to the fact that this love is not strong enough to overcome the lies that have been told.
The chorus speaks to the realization that these lies will not save the person from the consequences of their actions. The repetition of the lines "To know, your lies, your lies, your lies, won't save you now" emphasizes how important it is to be truthful and honest in any relationship, and that the truth will come out eventually.
The second verse delves deeper into the difficulties of the relationship, with the line "it's obvious you're speaking in languages I can't read, you just hide and confide in someone else." This line suggests that the person in question is not only lying but also emotionally distant, and possibly seeking comfort in others instead of the person they are supposed to be devoted to.
Overall, Calm Snow speaks to the theme of love and betrayal, highlighting the importance of honesty in any relationship. It cautions against the dangers of lying and cheating, and the consequences that come along with them.

More like the label(Sumerian records🔥)
@chrisukeYouTube
@FRISCO 9 Directed by Jensen Noen and Produced by Scissors Films. In terms of creative process, I doubt the label helped.
@frisco9568
@Chrisuke You’re right on that and I appreciate the correction🔥
