Abandon All Ships are an Italian-Canadian metalcore band from Toronto, Ontario. Formed in 2006, the group was signed domestically to Universal Music Canada via Underground Operations, along with an American deal to Rise Records and its imprint Velocity Records.

The band had released a self-titled EP independently in 2009 and three full-length studio albums, Geeving in 2010 through Universal and Rise, and Infamous in 2012. The band released their third album Malocchio, on February 11, 2014. After a break-up signaling to be the end of the band occurred in mid-2014, the group reformed in early 2016 with a single entitled "Loafting". The band has gone through many line-up changes throughout their career, with unclean vocalist Angelo Aita, bassist/clean vocalist Martin Broda, and keyboardist Sebastian Cassisi-Nunez being the group's only consistent members on each of their albums.

Abandon All Ships was founded in 2006 in Toronto, Ontario, originally playing covers of Norma Jean songs. Most of the band members attended Dante Alighieri Catholic Secondary, including lead vocalist Angelo Aita, keyboardist Sebastian Cassisi-Nunez, and original guitarist David Stephens and are all of Italian ancestry. The three just started the band to play gigs and their career escalated from there, eventually adding local Toronto friends Martin Broda and Francesco Pallotta to fill in spots for drums and bass.

Around 2007, Nick Fiorini was added along to the band to play rhythm guitar. By 2008, the band released four demo songs online, which were "Megawacko", "When Dreams Become Nightmares", "Brendon's Song" and "Pedestrians Is Another Word for Speedbump". After rising in the Toronto scene, the group eventually toured and opened for many larger bands in their same genre or home country such as Silverstein. By the end of 2008, Nick Fiorini parted ways with the band and was replaced by Andrew Paiano. By then, the band recorded their self-titled EP.
