Islander is an American alternative metal band from Greenville, South Carolina. The members have been playing together since 2006; they broke up for a few years, and got together under the name Islander in 2011. The group signed with Victory Records and have released an EP, Pains (2013), and a studio album, Violence & Destruction (2014). Victory Records signed the band in September of 2013, and soon released their first EP, Pains. Their first studio album, Violence & Destruction, was released the next year. The music's material was generally well received by critic, as the first single off the Violence & Destruction, entitled "Coconut Dracula", has since been a very successful active rock radio hit, as it hit number 24 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.

Their music is similar to the Deftones, Glassjaw, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Mudvayne, P.O.D., and Rage Against the Machine because musically it is alternative metal and rap metal, all the while, having a nu metal sound featuring the subsets alternative rock, hard rock and post-hardcore.
