Founded by Eddie Cano and Mikey Sawyer after the pair parted ways with their respective bands (Cano from Scarlett O'Hara and Sawyer from Close Your Eyes) in 2012, Miss Fortune are a post-hardcore band who incorporate elements of plaintive emo and driving metalcore into their emotional sound. After rounding out the band's lineup with guitarists Josh Kikta and Harley Graves, bassist Ian Marchionda, and drummer Jason Connolly, they parted ways with Cano, who was handling harsh vocal duties, after deciding to take their sound in a more melodic direction. With Sawyer handling the vocals himself, the band's sound began to take root, and in 2013 they found themselves announcing that they'd signed on with Sumerian Records. Their full-length debut, A Spark to Believe In, appeared on the label in 2014. ~ Gregory Heaney
