Back in September, former Turnstile guitarist Brady Ebert returned to the public eye with a new band called The S.E.T. (which stands for “Self Evident Truth”) when they made their live debut at a hometown Baltimore show that celebrated Lady Lila‘s 40th birthday and also featured Death Threat, Colin of Arabia, Naysayer, Backlash, and Ousted. Now, The S.E.T. have signed to Flatspot and announced their debut EP, Self Evident Truth, due March 6 (pre-order).
In addition to Brady, the band’s lineup is rounded out by Flatspot Records founder Che Figueroa on bass, ex-End It drummer Ryan, and vocalist Tim. The EP was recorded and mixed by Justin Day and mastered by Brad Boatright.
The first single is a a tough, 87-second metallic hardcore song “T.M.T.,” which stands for “The Motherfucking Truth.” The band cites NYHC bands like Leeway and Judge, as well as Baltimore hometown heroes like Gut Instinct (whose Sebastian Gorgone appears on the song “White Lies”) and Stout, as influences, and you can feel that coming through in this short but sweet new song.
Brady says:
In the Declaration of Independence the two self evident truths were that all people are created equal, and that everyone has the right to pursue happiness. Unfortunately, the powers that be have forgotten that and are trying to deny us normal working class citizens those truths, and we can’t let that happen.
Tim adds:
We live in a society, especially now with this current administration, where the people up top try to defy the truth through propaganda, war, racism and all forms of authoritarian ideas. I wanted this release to define what we are and what we believe the truth is.
