Set It Off are back — and they’re not holding back this time. The band just unleashed their self-titled album (out now), and it’s easily their boldest, angriest, and most unapologetic release yet.
This record marks a major turning point for the trio — Cody Carson, Maxx Danziger, and Zach DeWall — as they dive headfirst into full independence. No label. No rules. Just raw honesty and chaos turned into catharsis. The result? A sound that’s heavier, nastier, and more self-assured than anything they’ve done before.
It all kicks off with Pathological, a venom-laced anthem calling out the compulsive liars and clout-chasers who’ve crossed their path. “It’s unfortunate – the number of people I’ve come across in my lifetime that feel the need to make stuff up all the time,” Cody says. His frustration fuels every second of the track — and honestly, who can’t relate?
From there, the band tear through a setlist built to ignite: Punching Bag, Fake Ass Friends, Evil People — each one feels like a purge. But beneath the fury, there’s freedom. For a group that’s spent years finding their footing, Set It Off feels like the moment they finally plant their flag and scream, “we’re doing this our way.”
Cody summed it up best: “Every previous album was so necessary for us to be able to find this sound. This is not the final destination, but it’s the road we should have been running down the whole time.”
They’re taking that energy straight to the stage on The Self-Titled Tour across North America — a run dedicated to the memory of Dave Shapiro, Emma Huke, and Kendall Fortner. For a band that’s always thrived in motion, this album is proof that breaking free doesn’t mean starting over. It means starting stronger.
Set It Off’s self-titled album is out now — and it hits like a long-overdue exhale.
