Set Your Goals

Formed in 2004 in the Bay Area (California) Set Your goals have been rocking the pop punk scene with North American Tours.

The band released their first self titled album in 2004 just a few months after forming with Stright on Records. With over 2 years of tours the band was able to pick up fans all over North America and began growing in popularity. The band signed up with Eulogy Records and re-releasedtheir self titled album as “Reset” in 2006. 2 months after this release the band put out a whole new album again with Eulogy titled “Mutiny!”.

Over the next year the band did a follow up tours promoting the new album and had the chance to play with some big name bands as Anti-flag, Alexisonfire and Big D and the Kids Table. The band also released a number of re-releases of songs from their 2 previous albums on “”unk Goes Acoustic 2” and “Punk Goes Crunk” both albums through Fearless Records.

In 2008 Set Your Goals despite issues (unknown to us) the band bought out their contact and signed with Epitaph Records. Their new release “This Will Be the Death of Us” which is planned for April of 2009 will be released on Epitaph Records and will be followed up with a 2 month North America tour.

Set Your Goals

Bay Area California pop punk band Set Your Goals have been rocking with crowds and fans through out North Ameria and the world since their beginnings in 2004. Though the years Set Your Goals have been on tou with the likes of New Found Glory, Paramore, Gorilla Biscuits and starting this month Polar Bear Club Four Year Strong and Fireworks. You might have also had a chance to see them play in the Warped Tour the last few years. In the five years Set Your Goals has been a band they’ve already achieved what most bands only dream about by touring the world, playing with some of the biggest bands in the punk rock and achieved massive credibility among their wide-spread legion of fans.

So what separates Set Your Goals from all the other bands you might ask? For one, they have no gimmicks. They don’t need to wear flashy neon, dress up like white kids at a 50 Cent concert or sing about getting wasted to melt their listeners’ faces. Instead they channel positivity through their lyrics and let the music speak for itself. The band is changing the game and blazing trails with their unique style that’s influenced by ‘90’s skate punk and melodic hardcore. No trendy haircuts or cheesy breakdowns here, just straight up head bobbling pop-punk like it’s never been played.

Avoiding the sophomore slump like it was the plague, Set Your Goals come out guns-a-blazing on their new album, This Will Be The Death Of Us, the follow-up to their fan-coveted debut Mutiny. The band has always had one foot in the hardcore world and the other in the pop-punk world, so naturally haters will speculate that the band has lost their hardcore edge or their style has changed, but the music begs to differ. This Will Be The Death Of Us is balls-to-the-wall non-stop furious pop-punk like only Set Your Goals knows how to do.

From the galloping drum beat and Joe Saucedo’s driving bassline to the ripping riffs of the title track, which features guest vocals from Vinnie Caruana from I Am the Avalanche, detractors will be discredited from the get-go. “look closer,” is a soaring, fast paced sing-along and “the fallen” is a scorching punk rock track showcasing duel vocalists Matt Wilson and Jordan Brown’s flawless delivery as they trade off singing duties.

While This Will Be The Death Of Us has the definitive Set Your Goals sound, they aren’t afraid to keep it fresh and try new things. For example, “gaia bleeds (make way for man),” featuring Turmoil’s Jon Gula, takes things to a whole new level with Audelio Flores and Dan Coddaire’s Motorhead-ish riffs and Mike Ambrose’s tightly knit double kick over gang vocals that will blow the doors off your mom’s grocery getter, and the soon to be fan favorite “the few that remain,” an insanely addictive song that features longtime Set Your Goals fan Hayley Williams of Paramore adding some gutsy vocals. The band finishes off the album with the 90’s skate punk influenced “our ethos: a legacy to pass on” featuring fist-pumping guest vocals from New Found Glory’s Chad Gilbert.

This may only be the band’s second album, but you wouldn’t know it. Set Your Goals has already proven their longevity and dedication to the music through relentless touring and their classic debut, and with the release of This Will Be The Death Of Us it further cements them as one of the pop-punk greats.
