Founded in Warren, Michigan, the band features Devin Oliver (clean vocals), Andrew Oliver (unclean vocals, keys, programming, percussion), Brent Allen (guitars), and Jeff Valentine (bass). I See Stars released an EP, Green Light Go (2006), and an assortment of demo recordings prior to signing a recording contract with Sumerian Records in 2008. In collaboration with producers Cameron Mizzell and James Paul Wisner -- whose credits include Paramore, Dashboard Confessional, and New Found Glory -- I See Stars made their full-length album debut in 2009 with 3-D. The album featured a more post-hardcore sound, not yet incorporating the digital dance elements that defined later albums. Featuring Bizzy Bone on "Sing This!," 3-D reached number 176 on the Billboard 200. Two years later, after a couple lineup changes, the band returned with The End of the World Party, a darker, electronicore affair. Digital Renegade kept the hardcore dance party going in 2012, inviting Danny Worsnop (ex-Asking Alexandria) and Cassadee Pope (ex-Hey Monday) to the soiree. Instrumental and remix versions of the album were also released. 2013's New Demons chopped the I See Stars sound with an electronic trap music bounce. It peaked at number 28 on the Billboard 200, making it the band's highest-charting release to date. A pair of remix albums arrived in 2015. The first was a reinterpretation of material on New Demons, while a second, titled Phases, reimagined I See Stars favorites as acoustic/orchestral numbers. It also included covers of hits by Daughter, Disclosure, and Hozier. Their fifth album, Treehouse (Sumerian), was released in the summer of 2016. The genre-blurring LP debuted in the Top 10 of the Hard Rock, Alternative, and Independent charts. ~ Jason Birchmeier & Neil Z. Yeung
