History

Formation (2008)

Cody Carson met Dan Clermont in high school when the two were in the marching band together and became friends. Austin Kerr and Zach Dewall were in a band together prior to the formation of Set It Off. The band played local shows with the band that Carson was in at the time. Then, Carson left for Ohio to attend the Oberlin Conservatory of Music as a classical clarinet student. In his first year, after exchanging a series of YouTube videos with him, Carson asked All Time Low's frontman Alex Gaskarth if he could sing Coffee Shop Soundtrack on stage at their upcoming concert at the Cleveland House Of Blues via a YouTube video,[2] to which Gaskarth agreed.[3] That performance helped Carson confirm his dream of starting a rock band,[4][5] and not long after Carson dropped out of college and used his school money to come back and start up the band. Dewall and Kerr were amongst the first to follow. Dan Clermont also joined the band. Blake Howell was the band's original drummer.. Blake soon left the band and was replaced by Benji Panic (Benjamin Panico) on drums; however, they have since parted ways so that Ben could pursue his GED and later to start his own photography studio. The current drummer for the band, Maxx Danziger, was found through a mutual friend (Blake).

Early releases (2008–2009)

Set It Off released its first EP, Baby, You Don't Tripajaharda on October 31, 2008.

Set It Off self-released its EP,[6]Calm Before the Storm,[7] on May 16, 2009.

Signing to Equal Vision Records and Horrible Kids (2011-2012)

On July 19, 2011 the band announced its signing to [8]Equal Vision Records[9] It was also announced that through Equal Vision Records, the band would be rereleasing a remastered version of Horrible Kids on August 30, 2011. Carson states that,[8]"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. 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.”[9] After being released, the album [10] debuted in the top 100 Alternative Albums on iTunes[11]

Debut full-length album, Cinematics (2012-2014)

The band performing in 2013 at Warped Tour

In July 2012, Set It Off announced the release of the debut full-length album, Cinematics (album), which was released in 2012.[12]Cinematics,[13]

The band partnered with VH1 Save the Music Foundation and donated $1 of every album sold before September 23 to help support music programs in schools. The band also added a bonus to the donation, to create a total of $5000: Equal Vision Records agreed to match the band’s donation amount, doubling the total amount for the organization, if the band was to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart.

"We're honored to be working with VH1 Save The Music. If it wasn’t for the music education program in my high school, Set It Off would not exist,” states founding member and frontman Cody Carson. “I would not have met our guitarist, Dan Clermont, I wouldn’t have been directed toward Oberlin Music Conservatory, and I wouldn’t end up with even half of the musical knowledge I possess now. More people need to be able to experience the unity, leadership skills, and work ethic taught by being involved in music education programs in schools. Set It Off strongly endorses this organization for these, among many other, reasons. We’re so excited to raise money for them and help spread the word about the importance of music education.”[14]

The album, produced, mixed, and recorded by Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount at ZK Productions, debuted at the No. 174 position on the Billboard 200, No. 4 on the Top Heatseekers, and No. 38 on the Independent Albums chart.

In October 2013, Fearless Records released the album Punk Goes Christmas which featured an original Set It Off song, "This Christmas (I'll Burn It To the Ground)".[citation needed]

On January 2, 2014, Equal Vision Records released a video on its YouTube page, announcing that Set It Off would be recording a new album with John Feldmann, which would be released October 14, 2014.[citation needed]

In August it was announced that the band will be supporting Black Veil Brides on their headline tour across America throughout October and November dubbed "The Blackmass" and will also be supported by Falling In Reverse and Drama Club.[16] The first single off of this album was released on September 9, 2014.[citation needed] The album was included at number 5 on Rock Sound's "Top 50 Albums of the Year" list.[17]

Musical style and influences

In the beginnings of the band, Set It Off fit more into a synth pop punk genre. Now the band has matured and define themselves as orchestral pop punk, however the majority of the orchestral string sounds are programmed and sequenced synthesizers added during production rather than traditionally recorded acoustic instruments. Kerrang! magazine has also summarised the band's genre as pop rock.[31] The band's influences include Fall Out Boy, Four Year Strong, My Chemical Romance, All Time Low, New Found Glory, A Day to Remember, Forever the Sickest Kids, Relient K, *Nsync, Destiny's Child and We the Kings.
