The Profile

From First to Last are an American post-hardcore band formed in Florida in 1999. The group is known for albums like Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has A Body Count and Heroine, and for featuring Sonny Moore (later known as Skrillex) during key periods.

Reviews highlight the band’s stylistic shift on Heroine toward a tighter, less pop-leaning sound, and praise the rough guitars and screamed/melodic vocals on Dear Diary. Tracks noted include Mothersound, The Latest Plague, World War Me, Goodbye Waves, Waltz Moore (which references Sonny Moore’s vocal cord surgery), and the title track Heroine.

Two upbeat reviews spotlight FFTL’s punch: Dear Diary is hailed as a peak of the hardcore/emocore wave with rough guitars and effective screams. Heroine marks a deliberate step away from catchy, commercial emo toward a tighter, more powerful sound, with electronic touches and standout choruses. Vocals and songwriting get consistent praise.

Notable Quotes

❝ In conclusion, the album represents a valid example of a group that possesses skill, technique, and originality and clearly knows what they're doing.

❝ An obligatory purchase for fans of Hardcore, Emocore, and the like, but it deserves a listen from anyone who loves songs that make you want to jump around the room playing an imaginary guitar...
