Orlando, Florida (2002 – present)
In 2002, From First to Last was formed by guitarist Matt Good and Travis Richter in their hometown of Orlando, Florida. Eventually a solid lineup was formed, with vocalist Philip Reardon, guitarist Richter, guitarist Good, bassist Joey Antillon and drummer Derek Bloom. In 2003 The band released the EP Aesthetic on Four Leaf Recordings. At the time, Bloom had been with the band a few weeks and most of the singing was done by Good and Richter as they had provided vocals since the band had formed, where Reardon provided the screaming. By the end of 2003, From First to Last signed to Epitaph.
After the Aesthetic EP, Reardon was asked to leave the band for various reasons and Antillon was replaced by Jon Weisberg after he was arrested for shoplifting and unable to tour. The rest of the band members originally decided to have Good as the lead singer, but he opted to concentrate on guitar, not wanting to give it up in order to take on lead vocals. Good had wanted From First to Last to have a frontman, in order to connect with the crowd better. Using the social networking site MySpace, Good came in contact with a guitarist from California by the name of Sonny Moore. Moore flew out to Georgia, where the bands second album Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has A Bodycount was being recorded, and was set to be the band’s second guitarist. However, when the other band members heard Moore singing backups, they decided that he was much better suited for lead singer than guitarist.

sonny's voice was getting to the point on heroine where he needed to explore his voice beyond the typical post-hardcore vocals, now he is actually using his voice where it really should be

AMASS - "lol t0talimm0rtlz is one of those ignorant morons that goes around calling everything emo because the mainstream and MTV and the radio and the place where he buys his girl jeans tells him that it's emo. Does FFTL sound like Christie Front Drive? or American Football? or Rites of Spring? or Sunny Day Real Estate?" Thank you :)
