The fans are goofy. Hollis has dropped music every year for the past 5 years.

META EP (2021)

White Tiger (2022)

2 (2023)

boy (2024)

Star (2025)

He finally reached semi-mainstream stardom and took time to tour the fuck out his album. Also he’s busy producing music for others. Also doing interviews, music videos , creative designs, photo shoots. The guy has to sleep too lol.

His next release will probably be 2027 which will be the first 2 year gap he ever took, which is normal for most artists on his new-found level.

I understand the fans love him. I love his music too. I saw him live on the Star Tour San Diego. But even I’m a fan enough to understand his situation.

What if I told you, it’s the fans fault he can’t release music, not the label. You guys made him famous and in-demand. If he was lil Sound Cloud Hollis from back in the day, he’d be dropping at his leisure.

But since the fans want him around the world, he’s busy touring and has a management team now helping him balance his life.

LOL

Also considering he’s growing up and turning into ManHollis. It’s a sensitive time for ANY young adult. Boy or girl, famous or not. Leave him alone and give him time to become the artist he’s destined to be.

Yall acting like the Justin Bieber paparazzi.

I want to buy Alesana merch, but unfortunately they’re not very active. There’s a bunch of cool graphics on Temu/ ebay for like $8.

There’s a few other bands I want to support but am unable to because they don’t have merch.

EDIT: Since everyone here is a major advocate for directly supporting bands and ensuring they are the ones getting money:

Can you explain to me how do I directly support an inactive band from 2008?

How do I directly support a band that hasn’t dropped an album in 15 years?

How do I support a band that has became an archive of the times?

Did you even read my post ??

The best Kingdom Of Giants song you never heard.

1:40 hosts my favorite KOG breakdown.

Totally hyped for all the hype they’ve garnered from Passenger and Burning Chrome, but Every Wave Of Sound FUCKING RIPS!!!!! Real metalcore.

Produced and Engineered by Dana Willax himself.

IF THE BOYS ARE READING THIS POST, PLEASE DROP SOME REAL CALIFORNIA METAL BANGERZ!!!

TBH, if I was going about my day and I heard the goat himself performing this, I’d be in shock LOL

I only found out about these album in 2025, so I’m super late to the party. I can still remember the first time I heard the breakdown around 0:45.

Felt like time stood still for a moment. Very captivating and left a huge impression.

My favorite song has less than 200 plays on YouTube. Moments like these make me happy and sad at the same time. Happy I’ve found my own lil band , but sad I’m the only one who knows this.

I’m hyped. The songs still hit as hard as they ever did. ISMFOF was one of the bands that really spawned my interest is music with screaming vocals.

I remember there was a point in my rock music journey where ISMFOF was the only band I could listen to with screams.

Till this day, there has yet to be a vocalist that sounds like Matt Mehana.

Drummer going crazy on this one. Idk how I found this band but they only got one EP
