FORDIRELIFESAKE was conceived on Halloween night, 1999, as a side project of MYCOMPLEX, BOTTOMED OUT, and RESOUND

Playing a highly progressive combination of melodic hardcore, punk, and technical metal, FORDIRELIFESAKE surged in popularity locally in and around Michigan and quickly took over as the main project for members Brian Southall (guitar/ vocals), Justin Malek (drums/ vocals), Matthew Wedge (vocals), Eric Kempa (guitar/ vocals) and Dave Wisbiski (bass/vocals).

Their self-released debut EP came out in the summer of 2000 and they soon began working with Forge Again Records for a split EP with Detroit's WAFFLEHOUSE* and a re-issue of their debut EP in 2001 and 2002.

2002 saw the release of their debut album, Breathing In Is Only Half The Function on Cloud Over Head Records, with a European pressing from Skipworth Records. FORDIRELIFESAKE toured extensively in support of the album with BOYS NIGHT OUT and in 2003 the album was remixed, partially re- recorded, and remastered for release via Forge Again Records with a Japanese pressing by Alliance Trax. The band later went on to release a split CD with DELUGE, a second full length, and a discography CD with Thorp Records before calling it quits in 2009.

Their debut album Breathing In Is Only Half The Function has now been remastered by Carl Saff and is back in print for the first time in 20 years, now in a new digipak layout of the original art.

Remaster features original art in a tri-fold digipak
