Brady Ebert is yet again going off on socials about yet another band he’s had to part ways with, and this time, it’s THE S.E.T.
This incident follows a rather longer string of events that started back in 2022, when Turnstile announced that they were separating from Eber, who helped cofound the band in 2010 as the lead guitarist and backing vocalist.
Shortly after Turnstile announced the separation, court reports surfaced online that showed Daniel Fang of Turnstile had filed a ‘word of peace’ order with Maryland and had been ultimately denied the day before the band went public with Eber‘s departure. The word of peace order was to stop Eber from going near or contacting Fang, but was thrown out due to “no statutory basis for relief.”
Eber went on a rather lengthy social media rant years later – last month, specifically – saying in various comments that “no one in Turnstile cares at all about ethics or social issues in general, they’re just pandering to their audience. At Turnstile‘s first free show they did they claimed all proceeds went to healthcare for the homeless – we raised $10,000 but I watched Brendan [Yates] steal $4,000 from that and claim he needed to ‘pay the merch bill’ which was false” and “also, my friends filed a restraining order and guess what? They had two lawyers with them and I showed up to court by myself, and the judge DENIED the restraining order because there was no statute in the laws about what qualifies for a restraining order that they were able to meet the requirements of. In other words, they had no reason to file it and it was all over text messages – which they showed the judge and the judge agreed with me without me even having to testify – so next time before you spread bullshit misinformation, say that shit to my face” [edited for clarity].
After the tirade, his new band at the time, THE S.E.T., decided they were going to part ways with Ebert after his disparaging comments: “Brady [Ebert] is no longer a member of THE S.E.T. We will not stand by his ridiculous comments and behavior toward the members of our band and our community. We will continue to put on for Baltimore hardcore and thank everyone for their support.” The same day, Ebert was on social media – a running theme here – saying that he has “no clue what statements ‘THE S.E.T.’ (self evident truth — a name I came up with, by the way) but I haven’t made any statements about anyone except Turnstile that aren’t completely true” and “I’ve been blocked from the band’s Instagram for about a week, and thought it was deleted until yesterday. And [I] have texted with band members as recent as a day or two ago, but they haven’t attempted to contact me” [edited for clarity].
And, to stir the pot even further – and bring us to our most recent events – Ebert went on his Instagram stories to say that, “THE S.E.T. EP came out today. Check it out on Spotify or somewhere streaming, but don’t support the band, as at this point, it’s more a cover band than anything. I’m proud of the sound I created and the riffs on that album, as well as the whole art direction and image that I contributed.
“I’m not normally one to talk on the internet or publicly as anyone who knows me knows, but misinformation and lying are becoming an epidemic in this world.”
Anyone else see the irony in the last part of Ebert‘s statement or…? Regardless, Brady Ebert already has a brand new band – Experience – and doesn’t seem particularly discouraged from these incidents.
