I the Mighty

I the Mighty is an American rock band based out of San Francisco, California, formed in 2007.

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,[1] but changed their name due to copyright issues.

Blake Dahlinger saw the trio performing at the Retox Lounge and asked the group if they needed a drummer.

In February 2009, I the Mighty signed with San Francisco indie label Talking House Records[2] and began recording their debut album, We Speak, at the label's in-house studio with Talking House's Peter Krawiec producing.

[1] The label returned the rights to its existing recordings to all its artists, and transferred all the We Speak CD stock to I the Mighty.

[6][7][8][9] The band prepared the album for a re-release[10] in 2020 and as a result is available for digital download on Main Street Vinyl.

[11] The group caught the attention of Brad Wiseman, a booking agent for Equal Vision Records.

The band started writing and recording for their Equal Vision debut album in late 2012.

A month after the premiere of their first single, they announced their first headlining tour with Hail the Sun and Too Close to Touch.

It was announced[24] on June 22 that they would be supporting Bayside (band) on their 10th Anniversary UK Tour for their album The Walking Wounded.

The band announced [25] their official Facebook Community which would be run by the band in order to be a place for discussion and friendship with the aim to provide their core fan base perks when possible and access to news and announcements early.

They also announced a headline tour starting October 21 with label mates Hail The Sun supporting and Good Tiger as special guests.

Later Walsh released a statement regarding the accusations against him on Twitter including a donation of $1000 to RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network).
