Like Moths to Flames is a five piece modern metalcore/alternative metal band from Dayton, Ohio, United States, getting ready to make a big start in 2010.

On October 17, 2010 it was announced that Like Moths to Flames had been signed to Rise Records and were already working on their first EP.

Sometime before their EP was released, drummer Jordan Matz left Like Moths to Flames, and was replaced by Lance Greenfield.

With continuous touring through 2011, the band decided to settle back down and head into the studio to record their first full-length studio album.

The band then spent the first half of 2013 headlining the Rise Records tour around the US with supporting acts Crown The Empire, The Color Morale, Palisades and My Ticket Home. The band have confirmed they will record their second full length album with Will Putney at (The Machine Shop) in Hoboken, New Jersey and shall be released in the summer of 2013.
