Baltimore hardcore band The S.E.T. (now without Brady Ebert) have announced the release of their debut EP, Self Evident Truth, due out March 6 via Flatspot Records. A fierce and politically charged introduction, the EP channels raw aggression, principled rage, and classic East Coast hardcore urgency.
Recorded and mixed by Justin Day at New Noise Recording and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, Self Evident Truth hits hard with thick bass lines, rapid-fire drums, and venomous vocals. Lyrically, the EP comes from a place of unfiltered honesty, centering on equal rights while directly pushing back against “the propaganda the current administration is spewing.”
Leading the charge is the EP’s first single, “White Lies”, out today. A tough-as-nails track built on sweltering riffs and no-frills intensity, the song confronts the willful blindness required to accept false narratives. Staying true to their roots, The S.E.T. enlisted Sebastian Gorgone of Gut Instinct for guest vocals, paying homage to the Baltimore hardcore lineage that shaped them.
In support of the EP, The S.E.T. will hit the road this March on an East Coast tour supporting New York hardcore legends Judge, placing the band firmly in the lineage they so clearly respect. Later this year, they’ll take their message overseas, heading to Europe in November for a performance at Revolution Calling Festival.
