The three members of Set It Off are fully embracing their newfound status as an independent band, liberating themselves from the constraints that held them captive. They are boldly letting go of disillusionment, societal pressures, and the harsh online criticism that plagues artists in the modern era. The influence of social media looms large, demanding conformity to external expectations, a burden they are no longer willing to bear. The trio has decisively cut the strings of puppetry, venturing into a new chapter where freedom triumphs over the paralyzing fear of failure.
Drawing from a diverse array of musical inspirations, crafting music serves as a therapeutic outlet for Set It Off. Their latest singles bear testament to the boundary-pushing nature of the band, confirming their enduring presence in the music scene. The newfound independence has reignited the creative spirits of Cody Carson (lead vocalist/lyricist), Zach DeWall (guitarist), and Maxx Danziger (drummer), enabling them to forge a fresh musical landscape that is both innovative and reminiscent of the raw passion they evoked with their debut album, Cinematics (2012). Prioritizing the shattering of the dopamine loop and the pursuit of genuine fulfillment, their artistry emanates from a place of authenticity and emotion. More than a decade later, the unwavering sincerity of the trio continues to resonate deeply with their dedicated fan base. It is this unfiltered genuineness that has propelled the rock group to regular airplay on esteemed radio stations such as Sirius XM’s Octane, a significant milestone that the band members hold in high regard.
Drummer Maxx Danziger reflects, ‘We feel like we’re starting anew as a band. This period is marked by immense joy and excitement, as we relentlessly pursue that sense of exhilaration. Our ambition knows no bounds—we aspire to conquer the music world.’
