Worldwide

Straight out of Baltimore’s burgeoning and increasingly wild music scene, THE DEATH SET throw electro punk rock abandon onto warehouse dancefloors and come up with something unique. Their debut album, ‘Worldwide’ is a blast of catchy choruses, screamed lyrics, chaos, violence, humour and the reaffirmation of the value of going f**king nuts.

Johnny Siera and Beau Velasco started The Death Set’s worldwide journey on the Gold Coast of Australia in 2005. After first moving to Brooklyn they found them selves in Baltimore. Here they found the perfect stomping ground for the mayhem they had been perfecting. Warehouse parties in the derelict remains of the city’s manufacturing past were the ideal forum for what Johnny wanted the band to do. They rejected stages in favour of playing on the floor, in people's faces. And crowds responded, flocking to see them, closing in on them, interacting, dancing, fighting, laughing with the group, each buoyed by the other’s energy.

The Death Set have played and toured with the likes of SPANK ROCK, GIRL TALK, PONYTAIL, JAPANTHER, MATT & KIM and BEST FWENDS, and have been remixed by BONDE DE ROLE and DAN DEACON. Although in some ways they share an aesthetic with those bands, The Death Set smash open a long history of blast beat punk, indie rock and hardcore.
