Set It Off

I saw Set It Off at The Garage in Islington with support from Bearings and Vukovi. Bearings were energetic and very talented musicians. The songs were catchy, especially Petrichor and Eyes Closed. I have found a new favourite band in Bearings and can't wait to hear more from them.

Vukovi were completely bonkers in the best possible way and their lead singer had an amazing stage presence, so engaging and charismatic.

Set It Off blew any band I've ever seen out of the water. Cody (the lead singer) kept the crowd hyped up and he was so open and honest introducing the songs and really made himself vulnerable to the audience (which can't have been easy) but he was met with so much love from everyone. The showmanship the whole band displayed was unbelievable and they put on an incredible show for their fans.

They played so many great songs and had everyone singing along (and jumping around like kangaroos!). They played a lot of fan favourites and also did a medley of some of their tracks so they could get as many in as possible.

The music was played expertly with some surprising instruments (trumpet/saxophone) and the drum solo by Maxx was just balls to the wall, especially the 'Baby Shark' bit!

All in all, I had an experience of a lifetime and I will definitely go and see SIO, Vukovi or Bearings again.

Set It Off is a pretty cool band. They have a raw vicious bitter sense about them that I find not at all grating. I really like this band live because it is so much better than studio version. These guys really know how to work the crowd and room and audience by getting everyone pumped up to see and hear them.

I think it's pretty cool the way they have so much enthusiasm for the music and for performing in front of their fans. Everyone in the room goes crazy with cheering and clapping and rocking out completely. It's pretty exciting to see fans and the band have such chemistry. I like how everything comes together to provide one perfect night. Because that is what you get with these guys. A perfect night of great music and a great atmosphere.

I love this band and I love how the guys are always moving around and getting into it. They are not stiffs, they are artists who love what they do. It shows too with the audience because they feed off the bands confidence and talent and it enforces the excitement and base need for entertainment. Really a good band to see live.

Saw them in November, 2022. I haven't been going to live music long, but even as someone fairly green to the live music scene, it was an experience I'll never forget.
With there being three, albiet fantastic, supporting acts, I'd have expected the energy to wane somewhat before the main event, but even though I was tired after having been stood for so long, it was like a shot of adrenaline the second they came onstage.
Engaging, loud, energetic, and with a stage presence that made it beyond obvious that they found the whole thing just as fun as the crowd did. Cody's vocals and rapport with the crowd, and Maxx and Zach's fantastic instrumentation made for an incredible night.
A wonderful experience. Not to mention the pre-show playlist, unexpected saxophone, and backstreet boys add-in, all helped make the hilairously engaging on top of an already fantastic musical performance.
At they end of their set they said they'd be coming back to the area in 2023, and I have absolutely no doubts that I'll be in the crowd.

Set It Off are a first-rate group of musicians and entertainers. They have got to make it big, big, big because they are top-notch in everything.

They are all brilliant, multi-instrument musicians, put on a show so high-energy they drip sweat before the third song is over.

Their enthusiasm, positivity and outlook is utterly infectious and they unite a jam-packed house in a happy frenzy of excitement.

Their music is expertly crafted weaving elements of punk, metal, rap, orchestral elements, good old fashioned church choir vocals and jazz together seamlessly. You really can't define a genre for them because they bring together so many marvelous elements together with catchy stick-to-your-brain melodies and lyrics, it's hard to believe they're a trio.

Do yourself the biggest favor and listen to them and go see them.

One of the best experiences of my life. It was too bad that MOBS couldn't be there, but Capstan was great at getting the crowd energized. Everyone was so pumped up for the entire show. This was my first concert by myself and it was amazing. Once SIO came out, they started with Lonely Dance and it was such a great song to start their set with. I saw their show at a smaller venue but the whole building was shaking! Cody encouraged the crowd to song along to every song and by the end of the night my throat was so sore. It was great! I was disappointed that Dan wasn't there, but I understand why he isn't in the band anymore. The whole band has such a stage presence and they made the whole night one to remember. Would highly recommend and I plan to see them many times again! They absolutely rock!

Yesterday I went to the concert with not that great expactations. The reason for this is that I like their rock songs much more than their punkpop songs, which are the main part in their tour album. But then they have totally convinced me!
The concert had a really nice atmosphere and was a lot of fun,made by the engagement of the band. In this nearly tiny location I also had a familiar feeling because the main vocalist cody interacted very often and kindly with the audience. He shook hands, hug fans and stage dived several times while singing and performing. Of course the other members did their best and interact with the fans too. So all in all I had wonderful night with a beautiful atmospere full of fun and entertainment and that only for 18€!!!

This concert was my very first concert and it was one of the best nights of my life. The band really engaged with the crowd, Cody even crowd surfed which no offense Cody but you are heavier than you look. Cody was singing after he had stopped standing on the crowd and had gotten back on the stage. Then all of a sudden he was on stage yelling "are you ready" as he started to run towards the crowd. Now it being my first concert I was like, " ready for what?" Cody launched into the crowd on his stomach right on to me. Ouch. I mean it was kinda cool the whole crowd coming together to hold you up. But next time maybe a little better warning? Anyways great music, amazing experience, definitely going again. Love you set it off!

Saw SIO in Salt Lake last night at In The Venue. The space itself was a little run down, but loved the smaller space, and the stage is positioned so that there really isn't a bad spot to stand. Great intimate feel. Say We Can Fly and The Ready Set opened and did a great job of getting the crowd hyped. Set It Off were amazing. This is a band who obviously love what they do and the rapport with the crowd was spot on from start to finish. Cody went out into the crowd several times and just put on an amazing high energy show. Crowd loved him. I'd see SIO again in a second. Tonight Alive followed, and were also really good. All in all a fantastic show.

I loved watching SIO with my friends. We had so much fun! Although, we did get sad because they didn't play Dad's Song, which is a beautiful memorial to Cody's dad.
Cody was a dork during the concert and stood ON the crowd, and everyone was holding him up, and he continued singing.
There were a lot of Flashing lights, and my core was vibrating from the loud music.
My friends and I started crying at one of the songs, called Unopened Windows. It was beautiful. And my friends and I are almost impossible to make cry.
If you're looking for a good concert, Set it Off is a perfect concert to go to.

The Set It Off concert was the best concert I've been to so far! I drove 3 hours to go see them and it was 137% worth it. I have followed Set It Off since they started on youtube and it's so great to see them grow and make amazing music! I loved how they played their older song You Are Loved from back in their 2013 album! I was shouting every song and dancing to it all!! The venue was also great, it was clean and it wasn't too big. The staff that worked were also very nice and welcoming. Thank you to everyone to who performed that night and to the workers for giving me that experience! -Kelli
