I Set My Friends on Fire (ISMFOF) is an experimental music group from Miami, Florida. The band was formed in 2007 by Matt Mehana and former member Nabil Moo. The group signed with Epitaph Records before releasing their debut album, You Can't Spell Slaughter Without Laughter, in 2008. The band's second album, Astral Rejection, was released on June 21, 2011. Their third album, Caterpillar Sex, is scheduled to be released sometime in 2017.

Matt Mehana and Nabil Moo were previously in a well-received local act named We Are The Cavalry. After their disbanding, Mehana and Moo began making songs under the name "I Set My Friends on Fire". Some assumed that the new name was derived from the Aiden song of the same title. The group, however, explained that the name was purely original, and announced their hatred of Aiden. They garnered a large audience due in part to MySpace, where their first single, a rendition of Soulja Boy Tell 'Em's "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" (originally entitled "Crank That Cavalry Boy") received more than one million plays. The duo's MySpace page was removed three times because MySpace had assumed that the duo were using software to increase the number of plays. The band released a self-titled EP before releasing their first album. The EP features the songs "Crank That", "ASL", and "Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beerholder".

The duo then signed to Epitaph Records, who released their debut album You Can't Spell Slaughter Without Laughter on October 7, 2008. The band received negative to mixed reception from various critics. You Can't Spell Slaughter Without Laughter reached No. 29 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart. The song "Things That Rhyme with Orange" was the second single from the album and their third single overall.

On November 21, 2008 the comedy duo Smosh had teamed up with I Set My Friends on Fire and released their first music video and second single, called "Sex Ed Rocks" with over 20,000,000 views. Later in September 2009, they teamed up yet again and released their second music video and fourth single, called "Four Years Foreplay" with over 7,000,000 views. "Four Years Foreplay" featured I Set My Friends On Fire's new drummer Chris Lent from From First To Last.
