Tue, 30 Jun 2009 00:06:00 -0700
Bay Area pop-punk band Set Your Goals has released a music video for the title track from their forthcoming album, This Will Be The Death Of Us. Shot in a warehouse in downtown Los Angeles, the video features a stunning live performance with a guest appearance and vocals by Vinnie Caruana (I Am the Avalanche).

“This Will Be The Death Of Us” is the title track from the bands sophomore album, which is set for release on July 21. “A quantum leap forward” (Alternative Press), This Will Be The Death Of Us is “38 minutes of scorching, Lifetime-esque, balls-to-the wall pop-punk that keeps one ear to the ground and one to a nostalgic sound” (Revolver). "To put it bluntly, this is an amazing, incredible, passionate, energetic, urgent, competent, important and inspiring album” (Decoymusic.com).

SET YOUR GOALS' NEW ALBUM IN JULY

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 00:06:00 -0700
Pop-Punk’s Hottest Band To Release This Will Be The Death Of Us On July 21

June 2, 2009 – Los Angeles, CA – Bay Area pop-punk band Set Your Goals will release their widely anticipated new album This Will Be The Death Of Us on July 21 via Epitaph Records. Produced by Mike Green (Paramore, The Matches), the album features twelve relentless tracks of balls-to-the-wall, infectious non-stop pop-punk.

Avoiding the sophomore slump like it was the plague, Set Your Goals come out guns-a-blazing on This Will Be The Death Of Us, the follow-up to their fan-coveted debut Mutiny. From the galloping drum beat and the ripping riffs of the title track, which features guest vocals from Vinnie Caruana from I Am the Avalanche, to the soaring choruses of the catchy sing-along “look closer“ and the blazing punk rock track “the fallen,” which showcases duel vocalists Matt Wilson and Jordan Brown’s flawless delivery as they trade off singing duties, This Will Be The Death Of Us is the album fans were waiting on.

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)” takes things to a whole new level with Audelio Flores and Dan Coddaire’s Motorhead-ish riffs and Mike Ambrose’s tightly knit blast beats over gang vocals, and the soon to be fan favorite “the few that remain,” an insanely addictive song that features longtime Set Your Goals fan Haley 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 spitfire, 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 Mutiny, and with the release of This Will Be The Death Of Us it further cements them as one of the pop-punk greats.

Catch the band this summer on their co-headlining tour with Four Year Strong!

EPITAPH SIGNS POP-PUNK POWERHOUSE SET YOUR GOALS

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 00:03:00 -0700
Set Your Goal's Highly Anticipated Sophomore Album Due Out in July

Epitaph Records is proud to announce the signing of Bay Area pop-punk crew Set Your Goals with plans to release their sophomore album on July 21st. The band recently wrapped up recording with Mike Green (Paramore, The Matches) and will be hitting the road with labelmates New Found Glory on a cross-country tour.

"Of all our options, Epitaph was our first pick and we're very excited about having a great team of people behind us who will give this record the push we know it deserves," said singer Matt Wilson. "We've put a lot of time into this and it's reassuring to see that they believe in it as much as we do. The staff is very enthusiastic about working with our ideas and there is a dedication to our band here that we've never felt from any other label."

Born out of the Bay Area punk scene, Set Your Goals released an EP in 2006 and their critically acclaimed, fan favorite full length, Mutiny!, later the same year. Immediately grabbing the attention of their fellow bands and fans, the group would go on to tour with the likes of Alexisonfire, Anti Flag and Saves The Day over the next few years. In 2007 the band was featured on the Punk Goes Acoustic 2 compilation and in 2008 they recorded Lil Jon's "Put Yo Hood Up" for the Punk Goes Crunk compilation.

With fan anticipation for the group's sophomore full length at an all time high, Set Your Goals have joined forces with punk's most established label, and have their sights set on making their best album yet.
