[edit] History
Bloodlined Calligraphy was born out of the ashes of the highly influential Ypsilanti, Michigan band Friction, who had dominated the local scene from 1999 to the early 2000s. Friction had seen many members in its time, however bassist Eric Cargile and drummer Matt Carter were the constants of the foundation. Guitarist Ryan Hampton joined Friction after resigning as drummer of a local band, Nobody's Heroes. After recording Say Hi To the Bad Guy, for Selah Records, with original vocalist Matthew Fleming, touring schedules forced them to recruit Ally French, to replace Fleming on vocals. Shortly after French joined the band, they were signed to California's Facedown Records. Around this time a guitarist quit, and Hampton, who had previously quit due to family obligations, rejoined the group. They are currently awaiting the release of their second full-length LP, aptly titled Ypsilanti, and former vocalist Matthew Fleming has rejoined the fold as their full time tour manager.
In the fall of 2006, vocalist Ally French and drummer Matt Carter decided to leave the band. They were replaced by Ellen Hoffman on vocals and Robbie Coran(formerly of the detroit band Let It Die) on drums.
