"No one but you should decide your fate".
The three members of Set It Off accept their newfound status as an independent band, breaking the chains that once held them back. They abandon the disappointment, social pressure and online criticism that plague artists in the 21st century. Social media pulls the strings and meeting everyone else's expectations is a heavy cross to bear. But the trio have stopped being puppets and are entering a new era where freedom, not fear of failure, is the priority.
Combining a wide range of sonic influences, writing music is a way of catharsis for Set It Off. And their latest singles prove that this genre-mixing band will stay with us for a long time to come. From the unabashedly theatrical 'Evil People' to the nu-metal-charged 'Punching Bag', their latest releases are simply full of life. Cody Carson (vocalist/lyricist), Zach DeWall (guitarist) and Maxx Danziger (drummer) have created a world that is completely new, but reminiscent of the sparks they felt during the release cycle of their debut album 'Cinematics' (2012). Emphasising that breaking the dopamine loop and finding true fulfilment means creating music and visuals from the heart. More than a decade later, the trio's sincerity still resonates with fans. It is this unabashed sincerity that has put the rock band on radio stations such as:
Octane Sirius XM, which is a milestone the guys are proud of.
"It feels like we're a new band again," says drummer Maxx Danziger. "It's the most fun we've ever had and we're going to keep chasing that feeling. We want to take over the world."
What's next for Set It Off? Expect plenty of new singles in 2024 and even better live performances. But most importantly, get ready for the continued evolution of one of rock's hardest working bands. Only this time they'll be the ones in charge.
