SETOFF is a progressive punk group based out of the San Francisco Bay Area. They formed in early 2005, and have been recording and touring around the Western United States for almost two years.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drummer Eric Kamm moved to San Francisco from Santa Cruz following the breakup of HIGHWIRE DAYS--a group that toured the United States supporting their Rise Records’ release Hell From The Eyes Up, and was fronted by the ex-vocalist of Screw 32. Eric had joined HIGHWIRE DAYS after the breakup of BILLY DREAMER, a hard rock group that included members of LAGWAGON. In 2003, Eric moved to San Francisco and formed SELF WILL RUN RIOT--an AT THE DRIVE IN and AFI influenced band that fell apart when the lead vocalist/guitarist left to pursue other endeavors, eventually landing him in A WILHELM SCREAM.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point ex-DRIVING THE EFFECT front man Nino De La Rosa took over vocal duties, and the group changed their name to ROMANS GO HOME. Following the break-up of ROMANS GO HOME, Eric and Nino decided to return to their early EPIFAT roots and formed SETOFF. The two would eventually find guitarists Jeremy Korkki, his brother Jesse, and ex-KARAOKE OUTFIT front man Whitney Baron. After the Korkki brothers departed, Nino’s ex-DTE bandmate (of 5 years) Matt Howell stepped in on bass, thus solidifying the group’s current lineup.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over the last two years SETOFF has toured the Southwest, opened for groups like THE LAWRENCE ARMS, LAGWAGON, LOVE EQUALS DEATH, and D.O.A., recorded 4 times with legendary punk producer Andy Ernst (GREEN DAY, AFI, SWINGIN' UTTERS), and is currently completing their second full length’s worth of material.

Hey guys, it was an honor to share the stage with you last night. I really enjoyed your performance, we'll be sure to hit you up when we're out in the San Fransisco area!
I'm really starting to appreciate your sounds... I haven't had a good punk upbringing (although I was raised on classic rock, Gn'R, and early 90's alternative.) But for a music pervert like me, I'm enjoying listening/learning the style of your genre... Music is music... Good music is good music..... p.s. I'd come see you Whitney in Concord if I had a car, extra $, and wasn't such a hermit! Have a great tour!!!!!! Peace, Love, and Respect..... -Hunter
Hi Nino! It's cool that we have the same opinion for the song hehe. The more I listen to the album, the more I love it. Your vocals suit the style very good btw ;) Take it easy.
Can't wait for June 17th!! See you guys there!! Landmines sent me promo stuff so if you could do the same I'll put it out a record stores and bars! Get in touch! jenn

Hi guys! I got your album from Interpunk late last week, kick ass man! All your songs are top quality but if I have to choose one song it'd have to be "I heard the jury's...", I just can't stop listening to it hehe. Great drum sound too, bass pedal and snare work is sweeeeeeet! Cheers from up north in Canada.
Right on Whitney! Thank you for listening to my beats/beast :-) ..... I make them by sampling isolated parts of obscure/obsolete records of at least 25 years past onto an MPC... this means, I'm trying to lets say harmonize the samles (ie. Country Joe guitar chord strum w/ Aretha Franklin's voice sped up on a part where the music drops out or is faint on her record)... and all the drum sounds are from records where one can trim the sample of an isolated drum kit tone.. I supplement this with a Suitcase Rhodes and a Wurlitzer 200a which I do play a lot on my beats (eventhough I can't actually play the piano).... Thanks for your interest in my stuff.. Peace.... Good Evening (wherever you are)... Sincerely, Hunter
Fuckin' Great Guitar Sounds Whit!!!! I'm into it.... Beautiful Music in my estimation.... especially "Jury" and "Floating Man" so far.... I like the others though too obviously....people always write to me that that they really like "South Oregon Line" and "Mountain People Come"....anyways.. Peace and Thank You... your music is very good....
thanks for the cd bro, its fuckin good. I'll be sure to spread the word around tampa bay about you. My favorite track is "I heard the jury's still out on Science". That song has such a powerful chorus. Good shit. Don't stop.
