Islander is one of the most humble bands that I can proudly say were THE first band I had ever seen live in concert 9 years ago. And they weren’t even supposed to perform that day,but right off the bat you can tell they were some of the most genuine people, who had just happened to play music. From 9 years old to me now entering my first year of college, Islander has remained my all time favorite band. All love for Islander and will continue to support them in this new chapter.
I don't think it's ever been bad blood when that has happened. I think every time a band member left it was due to other opportunities. The dudes that were in the band in like 2014-15 besides JR such as chris Doot etc, I've only seen like once, so I'm not sure what happened to them. JR left and has two other bands. I believe Arin llejay left for family, and zeke left, i think also for family and started up a restaurant/a rap career. Andrew has a solo project. David started photography, and now it's the current lineup. (I'm speaking on what I've seen. I actually don't know all of the details.) Past members always talk kindly about them whenever brought up too..
I'm sure you've seen it, but if you haven't watch the music video for casket. That's one of my favorite music videos I've seen. Zeke, Arin, JR, and Mikey made a collective decision to part ways while mikey continues Islander due to the reasons I mentioned in my last comment. This is why he burying them. Such a cool idea.
We really hope you guys make it, your music is astounding and it doesn't make sense that you have to go through all of those setbacks. Maybe this is the way it was meant to be, you guys in control of everything. All the best from Chile! never surrender.
Love and support you guys forever! Can your mom have more dreams like that? 🤯 that's the coolest story ever. I still have the donkey kong toy you gave me from McDonald's that night because they didn't give you the sonic one lol So excited for this new album, I really hoped this gets backed all of the way❤ Can't wait to see you guys at a show again 💕 (hopefully soon)
The story of how Counteract came to be 🤯 That's called manifestation, right there, because that song fits this band like a glove. It's one of my favorite songs by Islander 🏝 🦂
I wonder about mike c. Seems like noone seems to stay in the band? Shame because the original lineup had something super special. Than the one with JR bareis was pretty good to!
Much love from Greenwood, SC! You guys are a great inspiration to me! Keep rocking! Mikey, I did finally get me mustang! I haven’t jumped my skateboard 🛹 over it yet, but I’m working on it bro 😜 Hope to see you guys live soon! God bless!
I promise I'm not trying to distract from the main point of this documentary (the band itself), I just think it's pretty hypocritical that Kevin Lyman was like, "Would you keep them on a hypothetical tour if they damaged equipment?" -- considering the fact that this dude kept a pedophile on Warped Tour for AWHILE after people had warned him that he was a danger to young people in attendance. Clear to see that all that really mattered to him was his bottom line, zero integrity/morals. Austin Jones (the pedo) is in jail where he should stay, hopefully permanently.

Everyone keeps talking up Mikey but as soon as he became completely in charge and all the other members left, shit went downhill fast
