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 waste your days away counting numbers
I will never let this go
I won't let this go
This opportunity to leave my head
I'd be nothing without this
We'd be nothing without this
I'll leave this room with far more hope
Waiting for the show
I'll leave this room with far more hope
I'll jump until my legs give in
I'll scream until there's nothing left to say
The only faith I ever had in me was because you were singing
Waiting for the show
I'll leave this room with far more hope
This is our life
We're all kings for now
And I'm wasting light
This is our life
We're all kings for now
And I'm wasting light
I won't let this go
This opportunity to leave my head
I'd be nothing without this
We'd be nothing without this
This is our life
We're all kings for now
We're all wasting light away
I won't let you down
I'll jump until my legs give in
I'll scream until there's nothing left to say
The only faith I ever had in me was because you were singing
Waiting for the show
I'll leave this room with far more hope

I suffer from mental illness/alcoholism I am also an accomplished musician, through the hardest time in my life, this song and album all together has given me strength and hope. God bless your souls for portraying your lives through your music. You saved mine. Much love honor and respect.

I subbed bro <3. I hope things get better. I used to suffer from schitzoprenia, hallucinations, depression, etc in high school, but I'm getting better now. I'm actually trying to become a musician, too.

2:58 - 3:38 Is one of those just beautiful breakout moments where the singer and the band combine their souls into a fleeting moment of harmony. It just kind of leaves you shaken a little inside.
