In early 2011, the band released their first EP entitled Keep This in Your Music Player. The EP features the songs "Make It Precious", "I Am A Traitor. No One Does Care" and "Once You Killed a Cow, You Gotta Make a Burger", all of which were included on the band's debut record. The three songs were not re-recorded for the debut album, instead the exact versions on this EP were included onto the album. Drummer Jace Thomas was kicked out of the band in 2011 because he allegedly leaked instrumentals of the band's music. He was replaced by former Rose Funeral drummer Dusty Boles. In 2013 the band broke up due to difficulties between Shaforostov and the rest of the band. Make Me Famous were dropped from Sumerian and the band held one final tour without Shaforostov before disestablishing. The remaining members then formed Oceans Red while Shaforostov formed the band Down & Dirty.

Make Me Famous Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time after time
You're paving your own way
And covering me with slime
Satisfying your pride
Carrying the torch of death
You'll be surprised to find
That I'm taking my last fucking breath
You never cared for me
Taking everything for free
I will destroy you stone by stone
Until you are left alone
Drowning in your greed
You will feel my curse
Drowning in your greed
You will feel my curse
You will feel my curse
This voice is to all of the nations
This call is for all creations
This voice is to all of the nations
This call is for all creations
I am the soil that feeds
I am the ground that gave you life
But you drill me till I bleed
You cut me with a giant knife
I will bear you till the days
When there is nowhere to hide
I will open my graves
To take you inside
To take you inside
To take you inside
To take you inside
Crying for you
Calling on you to save me
Don't turn your back away
Hoping for you
Craving on you for changes
That bring me life today
You caused a rain that hurts
You're acting like a stranger
Inside your only world
That's why I'm crying to you
I'm calling on you, my baby
To hear my priceless words
Just about the day to look back
On the things that you slay
On the world that you hack
Just about the time to realize
That you've got nothing to say
Looking in my eyes
The lyrics of "Earth" by Make Me Famous express a cry for help from Mother Earth, who has been violated and abandoned by mankind. The song starts with a sense of resignation that the damage has been done, and the Earth is now left to suffer the consequences of humanity's actions. The anger and frustration build up as the lyrics go on, with the singer pointing out how humans have taken everything for granted for free and how they are now drowning in their greed. The song warns humans that they will feel the weight of their own curse and that it is time to make a change before it is too late.
The message of the song is clear: we need to take responsibility for our actions and take care of the Earth before it is too late. The lyrics also suggest that it is not too late to make a change, but we need to act now. The use of strong language and vivid imagery in the lyrics drives home the urgency of the situation and the need for immediate action.
The song "Earth" showcases both the band's musical and lyrical talent. The band members' virtuosity on their instruments is evident in the way they seamlessly weave different sounds and styles together. The song also features powerful vocals that communicate the emotions of the lyrics effectively.

Day after day
Every single day
Time after time
Repeatedly, consistently
You're paving your own way
You're making your own path in life
And covering me with slime
And hurting me with your actions
Satisfying your pride
Boosting your ego
Carrying the torch of death
Spreading negativity and harm
You'll be surprised to find
You'll be shocked by what happens
That I'm taking my last fucking breath
That I'm dying
You never cared for me
You never showed any concern for me
Taking everything for free
Taking advantage of me and never giving back
I will destroy you stone by stone
I will tear you down piece by piece
Until you are left alone
Until you have no one and nothing left
Drowning in your greed
Being overwhelmed by your selfish desires
You will feel my curse
You will experience the consequences of your actions
This voice is to all of the nations
This message is for everyone in the world
This call is for all creations
This plea is for all living things
I am the soil that feeds
I provide sustenance for life
I am the ground that gave you life
I am the foundation of your existence
But you drill me till I bleed
But you harm and exploit me until I can't take it anymore
You cut me with a giant knife
You cause me great pain and suffering
I will bear you till the days
I will support you until the end of time
When there is nowhere to hide
When there is no escape from the truth
I will open my graves
I will reveal the harsh reality of the situation
To take you inside
To make you face the consequences
Crying for you
Desperately asking for help
Calling on you to save me
Begging for salvation
Don't turn your back away
Don't ignore my plea
Hoping for you
Wishing for your help
Craving on you for changes
Desiring positive changes
That bring me life today
That give me hope and vitality
You caused a rain that hurts
You caused pain and suffering to others
You're acting like a stranger
You're behaving in a way that is unfamiliar and cold
Inside your only world
Within your limited and selfish perspective
That's why I'm crying to you
That's why I'm begging for your help
I'm calling on you, my baby
I'm reaching out to you, despite our differences
To hear my priceless words
To listen to my valuable message
Just about the day to look back
It's almost time to reflect on what has happened
On the things that you slay
On the things you have destroyed
On the world that you hack
On the world you have brutally and recklessly altered
Just about the time to realize
It's almost time to understand and accept
That you've got nothing to say
That you have no justification for your actions
Looking in my eyes
Confronting the truth and facing the consequences

I love the screamer! I really just love the line-up of this band period. They have the right amount of hardcore and just all around awesomeness to me! It's just amazing seeing how far Denis and the band has come. Great job, guys, i can't wait to see you guys live one day:)
Emma
these guys are AMAZING live, saw them last night at ace of spades for the all stars tour
Jayson Witting
If anyone says Denis’ vocals are too clean, has not heard this song before. It’s a big deal to be able to sing both clean and raspy.
Devin Bigelow
Good job Sumerian on signing such an amazing band who deserves every bit of this.
anya malley
in my opinion their best song they have released. Synth in this song is great
IWonderIff
Definitely one the best outros I've ever heard, starting at 3:43. Especially because of the very last line.
Steve Wolf
Sumerian Records For Life! havent known of them long but almost every band signed by them is beast.
TBrobson
2:48-4:02 is extremely underrated. It's well put-together musically and it is really well mastered. All of the mixed levels of layered guitars and then the background synth to the breakdown is sick. Not that they'll read this, or that my opinion means shit to anyone, but personally I think if you took the vocals out during this part (when the riff comes in with the break) and just let it remain instrumental it would have sounded even more brilliant than it already does. Either way, well done :)

Saw these dudes a while back with For Today, A Skylit Drive and a few other bands. These dudes kicked MAJOR ass when they played this song.
