Bay Area pop-punk band Set Your Goals will release their widely anticipated
new album "This Will Be The Death Of Us" on July 20th 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.
Successfully overcoming the difficult second album syndrome, Set Your Goals come out guns-a-blazing on "This Will Be The Death Of Us", the follow-up to their breakthrough 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 set to be the punk rock album of 2009.
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. "Gaia Bleeds
(make way for man)" takes things to a whole new level with Audelio Flores
and Dan Coddaire's Motorhead-esque riffs and Mike Ambrose's tightly knit
blast beats over gang vocals, and the soon to be fan favourite "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 punk 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 as they follow up their
successful 2008 appearances at Give It A Name (Kerrang! * these Californians go down like free candy) with highly anticipated performances at Reading and Leeds Festival and London's newly re-launched venue the Relentless Garage!
