Born out of San Francisco, California, The Light Iris has struggled but found a loyal following among fans of the post-hardcore and metalcore genre. The band formed late 2009 and took their name from a framed picture hanging in the restroom of their practice space. Still being a relatively young band, the group has already played countless shows up and down California. Featuring vocalist Andy Chen, guitarists Edward Orellana and Dennis Leveron, bassist Brandon Vasquez, and drummer Alesandro Sauseda. The 5-piece recorded their first EP in April 2011. Self-producing their Cities Built On Ruins Of Regret EP, and self-releasing it in June 2011, the band has already created a huge amount of buzz for themselves. The 8 track CD includes special guest vocals by Aaron Pauley of Victory Records band, Jamie's Elsewhere along with exclusive dubstep remixes by international dubstep producers.
