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 know you drive me crazy
But I know how to take your breath away so lets go
Well I don't care what's going through you
You can see me, and I can see you
So lets cut this game, we both feel the same
And I'll show you a night you're used to
Are you getting tired yet?
Everyone's jumping up and down
I'm starring at the crowd
While the dream girls singing the words
And she looks like she needs me
Dance with me and I'll show you what you're missing
And everybody in the town, put your hands up all around
And sing this, let's sing this
Cautious, never been a burden with the bosses
Crosses, God says step up with the flow
With the dipper in my door
So saucey, running for months and my song say "woo"
Got my palm tree, I'm riding
That's right can't no bosses counter play me moves
Shoot the monsters
Party like it's 2009 up in the eye
Where they zone in the homeless
I See Stars, Little Bizzy Bone
No Shorts, No Losses
Scenes of adultery, resist the king
Queens of the fortress
Crystal ball warned us
I go rooting, there's one tonight
Give me four to the four to the beam
Kick 'em all in the foot
Play them all till they dead and Sing this
Then I bypass through the ash of my canva-see's?
Friend to me, bring the enemies
Spit it like I serve the fiends
Pussy was afraid of me?
The bastard would not come over with the thunder, raining dome bullet
I swear to the death till they park and they never forget
Henny had her hands on me, yeah I'm a motherfucker
Sing
Like a guillotine, caffienes what they give me
To kiss in the mist, with my lips in the distance
Me swerve every bump in the darkness
Stop
Sing to this, sing to this
Everyone's jumping up and down
I'm starring at the crowd
While the dream girls singing the words
And she looks like she needs me
Dance with me and I'll show you what you're missing
And everybody in the town, put your hands up all around
And sing this, let's sing this
Everyone's jumping up and down
I'm starring at the crowd
While the dream girls singing the words
And she looks like she needs me
Dance with me and I'll show you what you're missing
And everybody in the town, put your hands up all around
And sing this, let's sing this
