Miss May I is a metalcore band hailing from Troy, Ohio. The band has been around since 2006, playing local shows and steadily gathering a loyal fan base. In 2007, they released their first EP, Vows for a Massacre which contained five songs. 2008 saw the release of their demo EP, Demo 2008. On December 6, 2008, the band posted a blog on their myspace stating that they had signed to Rise Records and soon after released their debut album Apologies Are For The Weak which reached #29 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers. Not long after, then-bassist Josh Gillispie announced his departure from the band, and was replaced by Ryan Neff, formerly of Rose Funeral.
