Eyes Set to Kill is an American post-hardcore band from Tempe, Arizona.
Sisters Alexia and Anissa Rodriguez, along with former vocalist Lindsey
Vogt started the band in 2003. Lindsey Vogt departed the band in
mid-2007 due to issues with management. Lindsey would go on to form a
solo project known as "The Taro Sound", and eventually formed the band
"The Attraction." After Lindsey's departure, Alexia assumed her position
as lead vocalist as well as guitarist.
The World Outside received widespread critical acclaim and the group was featured on the cover of USA Today, as one of Alternative Press Magazine's "100 Bands You Need To Know", and hosted an episode of MTV's Headbangers Ball. Broken Frames was ranked fifth on the list of "Locals Only: The Best Albums and EPs in 2010".
The band's name was derived from a line out of a poem Alexia wrote in
high school. Eyes Set to Kill began in 2003 as a three-piece band from
Tempe, Arizona. Alexia Rodriguez (lead guitar, vocals), Anissa Rodriguez
(bass guitar), and Lindsey Vogt (lead vocals), searched the local area
for musicians to join their band. Despite sharing the stage with several
signed and unsigned artists, including Chiodos, Blessthefall, Goodbye Tomorrow, My American Heart, and Greeley Estates,
the initial combination they found was only temporary, and over the
next several months, the band continued to undergo changes in their
musical lineup. In early 2006, three men joined the line-up of Eyes Set
to Kill, those men being Alex Torres (guitar), Brandon Anderson
(vocals), and Brett Litzler (drums). The band worked for Eyes Set to
Kill to be active after losing half of their members, and went on to
record an EP in 2006 with Arizona's Larry Elyea and his studio, Minds
Eye Digital.
