Heroine is the second studio album by American post-hardcore band From First to Last. It was released on March 21, 2006 through Epitaph Records. It peaked at number 25 on the Billboard 200, selling more than 33,000 copies within its first week. It is the band's highest-selling album, and has sold more than 232,000 copies as of April 2008. The album has spawned two singles: "The Latest Plague" and "Shame Shame". A B-side, "Save Us", has since been released via the band's official Myspace.
It is the last album to include lead vocalist Sonny Moore, who began his own solo project afterwards due to musical interest and multiple vocal chord issues resulting in surgery. Sonny also stated "I cannot continue to strain my vocal chords in this way" when announcing to Matt Good that he was contemplating leaving. Sonny now records electronic music under the alias Skrillex, although in the band's reunion in 2013, Matt Good said in an interview that he was looking if Sonny would possibly do a short live performance of some of the older songs, but also mentioned that Sonny is always on tour and is very busy. Sonny possibly contributed to their kickstarter page for their new LP Dead Trees. Wes Borland played bass on the album after Jon Weisberg was forced to leave the band in 2005.
