If you're not familiar with them, Eyes Set to Kill are a screamo and post-hardcore outfit from Phoenix, Arizona. They first made a name for themselves in the hardcore community on the back of an intense live show and a crushing EP. The band started as a two-piece run by sisters Alexia Rodriguez, on lead guitar and vocals, and Anissa Rodriguez, on bass. Their goal was to pair soft, melodic female vocals with gut-wrenching screaming over powerful post-hardcore instrumentals.
Former singer Lindsey Vogt said they didn't want to be the typical screamo band. After being repeatedly ignored and turned down by sexist musicians, they found their missing pieces in early 2006 when Greg Kerwin joined on guitar, Brandon Anderson on vocals, and Caleb Clifton on drums. From there, they shared stages with Chiodos, Blessthefall, Goodbye Tomorrow, My American Heart, and Greeley Estates, and even did a stint on the Warped Tour. They've kept a staunchly do-it-yourself work ethic throughout, having booked their first tour through MySpace.
