Lyricist for hardcore bands such as American Nightmare, Give Up the Ghost, Some Girls, etc. Quite possibly the best lyricist in hardcore
music. Brought to recent mainstream attention because Fall Out Boy used some of his lyrics without permission on their first
two mainstream albums (from under the cork tree and infinity on
high). Interestingly enough, Eisold only has one hand (birth defect).
Compare Wes Eisold's Red Cuts through Black Hearts, Sex and Glue, and, Gonna
Set my
soul on
Fire (Some Girls) to XO (fall out boy)
