    I the Mighty is an American alternative rock band based out of San Francisco, California, United States, formed in 2007. As of 2015, the band has released three EPs and two studio albums. Their debut, Satori, peaked at #10 on the Billboard Heatseekers Charts.

    History

    Formation

    Formed in 2007, the band began while vocalist Brent Walsh and Ian Pedigo were still in high school together. The two taught themselves how to play guitar, and then started writing songs together as a two-man acoustic project, Breakpoint. Five years prior to the band's formation, the two met Chris Hinkley while he was playing with another band. The three then began to practice acoustic songs that Walsh and Pedigo had penned. Blake Dahlinger saw the trio performing at the Retox Lounge and asked the group if they needed a drummer. The band turned into a quartet, and changed their name due to copyright issues.

    Early Work (2008-2011)

    In their early years, Dahlinger and Hinkley simply wrote their parts to the existing songs that had already been written. The band released their first two EPs, I the Mighty and Hearts and Spades, in 2008 and 2010 respectively. Their self-titled EP is more acoustic and melodic than their more recent efforts. Regardless, the group caught the attention of Brad Wiseman, a booking agent for Equal Vision Records. The band were interested in him becoming their agent, and passed along early demos of Cutting Room Floor and Escalators. The label sent the head of A&R out to see one of the band's shows in LA. They were signed to the label in 2011.

    Killer

    by: I The Mighty

    Say goodnight. Go to sleep. Close your eyes. Shut them
    tight.
    And don’t fret about the man with the knife.
    It’s a joke. It’s a lie. He’s a fake.
    Just a plague of the memories that keep you awake.
    But if you let your subconscious bleed into reality
    he’ll be hunting you down in your dreams.
    So just relax. Breathe deep.
    Let your mind drift you off to sleep and I’ll see if I
    can keep the blade away.
    But maybe he could stay…
    And if you close your eyes he’ll be gone by day break,
    anyway.
    Maybe he could stay…
    And as you sleep he’ll steal all your dreams away,
    anyway.
    Love and death are the two things that he is most aware
    of.
    Singing songs of heartbreak and homicide.
    And you’d thing that he would cry
    but his tear well has turned stone dry.
    And if you could have seen the way his life was lived
    to this date and time
    Then maybe you’d understand his violent state of mind.
    But maybe he could stay…
    And if you close your eyes he’ll be gone by day break,
    anyway.
    Maybe he could stay…
    And as you sleep he’ll steal all your dreams away,
    anyway.
    He’s watching. He’s waiting. He’s planning.
    All he wanted was one last kiss he said, “Shoot me so I
    leave this world alive.”
    Just a killer with one last wish he said, “Shoot me so
    I leave this world alive.”
