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)
