Label: Equal Vision Records
Label Type: indie
About:
In just three short years, Set It Off has grown from a humble start on YouTube to writing and
releasing original music that has garnered over 16k fans on Facebook, over 1.1 million plays on
MySpace, and earned themselves performances alongside My Chemical Romance, A Day To
Remember, Against Me! and more. Set It Off features Cody Carson [vocals], Dan Clermont
[guitar], Zach DeWall [guitar], Austin Kerr [bass], and Maxx Danziger [drums], who fuse
together their classically trained, technical backgrounds with in-your-face contemporary elements
to create an explosive blend of theatric orchestral-pop.

On August 30, 2011, the Tampa, FL-based quintet released their Equal Vision Records debut, a
re-mastered version of their EP, Horrible Kids. The enhanced album features an additional,
previously unreleased track “Chase It!” and music videos for “Breathe In, Breathe Out” and
“@Reply”. Set It Off’s self-release of the album debuted at No. 63 in the 100 Alternative
Albums on iTunes, with their music video for “@reply” featured as an iTunes “Hot Music
Video”. The music video for “Breathe In, Breathe Out” is receiving accolades of its own, as it has
just been added to rotation on mtvU, after winning the station’s The Freshmen challenge, where
viewers voted “Breathe In, Breathe Out” as their favorite video.

Horrible Kids displays the band’s exponential growth through improved musicianship, clever lyrics
and solid song structures. Set It Off shines with contagious, driving melodies and hard-hitting
choruses, fueled with genuine sincerity and powerful messages. “Our main inspiration in writing
this album was derived from personal experiences growing up. I loved being able to turn to songs
that I could personally relate to. I want to provide that same kind of coping source for people,”
Carson explains. “I want people to be able to turn on Horrible Kids and pick a song that pinpoints
exactly what they're going through and allows them to vent through it.”

Horrible Kids was recorded at Red Sparrow Studios in Wilson, NC with Brandon “B-Real” Ham
and John Harrell and mastered by Paul Leavitt [The Dangerous Summer, Conditions,
VersaEmerge], though much of the album was written while the band was on the road. “We
write mostly while we're on tour because that seems to be where the most inspiration strikes for
us. At home you go through the everyday, comfortable routine but while on tour the unexpected
is constantly happening – all while coping with life away from our friends and family back home,”
elaborates Clermont. “The writing process ended up being a lot more hands-on for everyone and
there was a more collective involvement with songwriting and structuring from all aspects.”
Through relentless touring, relatable lyrics, energetic live shows, and charismatic personalities,
Set It Off has already built up an incredibly devoted community that exceeds the traditional
concept of a ‘fanbase’, quickly earning itself the accurately dubbed title of ‘The SIO Family’ –
which the band continuously expresses their appreciation and gratitude for.

“We have such avid, loyal fans and we will never lose site of the value and love we have for them.
They are just as much of a part of this band as we are. We couldn’t do this without them,” Kerr
explains of their devoted fans. “Our fans are our friends and family so we make a sure we treat
them as such.
