I the Mighty is an American alternative rock band based out of San Francisco, California, United States, formed in 2007. As of 2015, the band has released one single, three EPs, and three studio albums. Their major label debut, Satori, peaked at #10 on the Billboard Heatseekers Charts.
Formed in 2007, the band began while vocalist Brent Walsh and Ian Pedigo were still in high school together. The two taught themselves how to play guitar, and then started writing songs together as a two-man acoustic project, Breakpoint, but changed their name due to copyright issues. They released an acoustic self-titled EP in 2008. Later they recruited Chris Hinkley, who met the two five years prior to the band's formation while he was playing with another band. The three then began to practice acoustic songs that Walsh and Pedigo had penned. Blake Dahlinger saw the trio performing at the Retox Lounge and asked the group if they needed a drummer.
I the Mighty play a style of Post-hardcore music mixed with experimental Rock and Alternative Rock. Indie Rock elements can be heard in their songs. Their music structure is similar to the Australian Hands Like Houses. The founding members Walsh and Pedigo draw strongly from Coheed and Cambria as a musical influence, and this is shown in much of their music.
