I think the band is named "Boy Sets Fire" as opposed to "boysetsfire". On the albums The Day the Sun Went Out and This Crying, This Screaming, My Voice Is Being Born they write their name in the conventional way. This suggests that it was for style/design reasons they wrote "BФYSETSFIRE" and "boysetsfire" on various other albums. --220.237.134.155 03:45, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On the boysetsfire official website in many places is it spelt simply "boysetsfire". I think this is farily indicative. --Bouyeeze 15:59, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They changed the appearance of the name from "Boy Sets Fire" to "boysetsfire". Can't recall when nor where I read this - sorry :) --84.60.45.107 (talk) 21:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In this interview Robert answers to this very question "with our new logo it'd be written together, but it all works...as long as you don't write boyhitscar it's all good!!!" So now its up in the air. I think it would be correct to assume they started as Boy Sets Fire but have taken on a new style whether it was intended for the longterm or not (the sign of excellent marketing?) The overwhelming adoption of the newer logo inspired style may have made the choice for us. I'd be lying if I thought this google trends: boysetsfire vs boy sets fire data actually helped clear things up. They appear to use Boysetsfire exclusively on their myspace bio while their Discogs.com page actually allows you to filter releases between the two acknowledged naming styles.

The latest posting on boysetsfire.org, the band's official site, which doesn't have much except a diatribe about reuniting for a tour, prominently displays the band's name as BoySetsFire multiple times. I think that should be the official one. 19 Jan 13 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beardrivescar (talk • contribs) 16:27, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They are generally known as one of the first bands to blend melodic singing and hardcore screaming.???? WHAT ABOUT MIKE PATTON? FNM. FREDRICK 11/05/06

Years Active

Years active should be '1994-2007' since they did have a last tour this year.

They officially quit in 2006, but had to continue the goodbye-tour in 2007 because of Josh's accident --84.60.45.107 (talk) 21:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
