Boy Sets Fire is a hardcore band from Delaware led by vocalist Nathan Gray and featuring the dual guitar attack of Josh Latshaw and Chad Istvan. The single Consider (1995), the six-song EP This Crying, This Screaming, My Voice Is Being Born (1997 - Magic Bullet, 2000) and the album The Day the Sun Went Out (Initial, 1997) provided a summary of existential cliches of the punk generation for the emo generation. While sincere, the music was hardly innovative. The five-song EP In Chrysalis (Initial, 1998) began the transition towards a mainstream sound, that After the Eulogy (Victory, 2000) perfected with the catchy When Rhetoric Dies and the melodramatic When Rhetoric Dies. But the end of the journey was the mediocre and hypocritical Tomorrow Come Today (Wind Up, 2003) and The Misery Index (Equal Vision, 2006), the issues of hardcore served to the audience of pop music.
