Some press bollocks...

“Loud, abrasive and sickly fun, Black Flag for a new generation ” Artrocker

“The Death Set blast out of Baltimore, and onto your stereo, if your any fun.” Drowned in Sound

"Has the maximum-impact intensity of the young Henry Rollins in Black Flag or like an Iggy Pop for the era of samples and laptops. Worldwide is an extraordinary offering. The Death Set are a quixotic, perfect pop thrill." The Guardian

…DIY skuzzy, fuzzy lo-fi new wave analogue drum-box driven pop. Aggressively sweet, like sucking delicious boiled sweets and expecting the bits of glass. - Organ Magazine

"A relentless racket but of the highest order. Gleefully ballistic, a riot of chants, distortion and oddball samples." Q

“Sublime pop-punk brevity from Baltimore” Sunday Times

“They make the Libertines look like Dire Straits... Original, entertaining and fun.” Vice

"Has the momentum to engulf dancefloors the world over." Kruger "Quite literally a blast. A twenty first century update of hardcore. The Death Set blast through their material as if they can hear the police sirens in the distance coming to close their party down." Clash

Derrida you can dance to. - The Onion (Austin).

"If the Cheerleading squad from a young offenders institute entered a beer bong-athon with Black Flag and Best Fwends, it'd still sound reserved compared to this lot." NME

…i thought i ’d put you all up on the best live band in town, The Death Set. They’re a two-piece raging punk band with a drum machine and samples, and i’ll be damned if they don’t blow away 95% of the more high-fidelity acts i’ve seen this year, in either rock or dance music. – Mad Decent Blog

Australia to Baltimore transplants The Death Set are a faster, poppier, punker and more straight forward Devo for 21st attention spans. Their debut Ep “to” is the giddiest wall bouncing sugar over dose that’s come my way in some time – going down like a mix of three balloons full of nitrous and three more o’ helium. Sticky speedy spazzy songs defined by tuneful high-pitched screaming distorted guitars and casios blasting over rigid mechanical beats. It’ll make you jump up and down and pound your head against the wall – New York Night Train

That is some kick-ass spazcore for lack of a better term – Gimme Tinnitus

Part AUSTRALIAN, but now living in BALTIMORE, THE DEATH SET, call everyone from DAN DEACON to MATT & KIM to SPANK ROCK to BONDE DO ROLE contemporaries. They are the second coming. – I Heart Comix

It immediately caught my attention when I first turned it on, and I've found myself listening to it over and over again to shake cobwebs of dull music out of my ears. They sound like The Go! Team jacked up on Red Bull and meth. Basically, the antithesis of boring. – Covert Curiosity

The Death Set's two-man mini riot wield punky guitar smashing, panicky electro squawking, tinny drum machines and samples from old anti-drug videos -- then they smash seven shades of shit out of them against homemade mics, drench the product in sweat, saliva and sarcastic exuberance, and allow the results to stew in their own garishly vivacious pop expressionism. - Big Yawn

My goodness I’ve never come across a band that I so quickly fell in love with like I have The Death Set, This quick little 10-minute EP simply titled “to” has more substance and bizarre, attractive instrumentation and song writing than a lot of full lengths that run over an hour. – Rocknworld

Like Redd Kross rewired for a generation raised on cracked software and internet attenuated attention spans. Death Set’s rattlin, tinny drum machines, ray-gun guitars and walkie talkie fidelity vocals are the reason moms everywhere restrict their sugar intake - Baltimore City Paper

Sitting nervously somewhere between the outrageous, manic pop of Japanese bands like the Polysics, the thrashing, eccentric beehive of bands like the B52’s and Apples in Stereo, the genderless cyber punk of acts like Sigue Sigue Sputnik and the post-punk chik of The Rapture, the Death Set spit, growl and bomb their way into the headlights of an oncoming chart vehicle. – Crud magazine

…you know those big arcade dancing games? Okay, you know how they have games like that, But instead of dancing, you play those novelty guitars? That’s what they were like. That, with gangsta rap beats. I’m dead serious. - Razorcake - Lifetime show review
