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.

I See Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're just a girl that's everything not in my world
Cause I stop, and you go
And I run, too slow but let me go, go, go
It's in the palm of your hands
If you threw it away it would be just to say you did
I should have known, not to trust you
And then your kiss left a taste on my lips
And your eyes how they glow
I've got a question for you, how many hearts does it take for you to get through just one city
Cause I stop, and you go
And I run, too slow but let me go, go, go
It's in the palm of your hands
If you threw it away it would be just to say you did
I should have known, not to trust you
You were too good to be true
And then your kiss left a taste on my lips
And your eyes how they glow
I'm taking back what's mine
You took it from me and I want it back
What is rightfully mine
You'll never see our faces again
You're feeling cornered
Try being the victims of your lies
You say it's torture
I think it's time for you to go
It's really time for you to go
Woooaahhhh
The song "Glow" by I See Stars explores the theme of a tumultuous relationship that is coming to an end. The lyrics are sung from the perspective of a man who is reflecting on his failed relationship with a girl who was not meant for him. The opening line, "I am a man of a million things that you can't stand," sets the tone for the rest of the song, suggesting that the two individuals are mismatched and incompatible. The man goes on to say that he and the girl move at different paces, and while he wants to stay together, she is quick to leave. The chorus emphasizes that the girl has control over the situation, but she does not value what she has.
In the second verse, the man's realization that the relationship was not meant to be is solidified, asserting that he cannot trust the girl as she was too good to be true. However, he is still affected by her kiss and the memory of her glowing eyes, which suggests that he is still emotionally invested in her despite the turmoil. The bridge is a turning point in the lyrics, with the man deciding to take back what is rightfully his and asserting that he and the girl will never see each other again.
Overall, "Glow" is a powerful song that captures the pain of a failed relationship and the conflicting emotions that come with it. The music video for the song features the band performing in a warehouse, with visual distortions and intense lighting adding to the song's emotional impact.
