Set It Off (band)

Cody Carson and Dan Clermont, who met in their high school marching band, formed a band, which brushed against another band created by Austin M. Kerr and Zach DeWall while playing local shows. After high school, Carson left for Ohio to attend the Oberlin Conservatory of Music as a classical clarinet student. In his first year, after exchanging a series of YouTube videos with All Time Low frontman Alex Gaskarth, Carson asked to sing "Coffee Shop Soundtrack" at the group's upcoming concert at the Cleveland House of Blues via a YouTube video.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjhOQieDBWA|title=Alex, Please watch this and respond with an answer :-D|date=March 27, 2008|work=YouTube}}{{cite web |title=Video Cam Direct Upload |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7mAnhGtitw |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110609093412/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7mAnhGtitw |archive-date=9 Jun 2011 |access-date=February 9, 2024 |work=Youtube}} The performance led Carson to drop out of college and use his school money to start up the band.{{cite web |title=Cody Carson on his buzzed-about band, Set It Off |url=http://cltampa.com/tampa/cody-carson-on-his-buzzed-about-band-set-it-off/Content?oid=2307423#.UFcuUo5Rc0s |work=Creative Loafing Tampa}}

Dewall and Kerr were among the first to join; Dan Clermont followed as the band's lead guitar player. James Arran was Set It Off's first drummer, but financial struggles made gas purchases difficult for him, and he resigned August 24, 2008.{{cite web|url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iSTyMKW5JJs |title=Clarissa explains it all|date=August 26, 2008|work=YouTube}} He was succeeded by Blake Howell, who soon left the band due to family difficulties.{{cite web|url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wky4gdXxhAo |title=Importante Por Favor....Gato!

Carson said, "Our main inspiration in writing this album was derived from personal experiences growing up. I loved being able to turn to songs that I could personally relate to. I want to provide that same kind of coping source for people. I want people to be able to turn on Horrible Kids and pick a song that pinpoints exactly what they're going through and allows them to vent through it."

The album debuted in the top 100 Alternative Albums on iTunes.{{cite web|url=http://www.noisecreep.com/2011/10/04/five-albums-that-changed-my-life-maxx-danziger-of-set-it-off/|title=Five Albums That Changed My Life: Maxx Danziger of Set It Off|work=Noisecreep|date=October 4, 2011 }} Horrible Kids was recorded at Red Sparrow Studios in Wilson, North Carolina.

Through the VH1 Save the Music Foundation, the band donated $1 for every album sold before September 23 to support music programs in schools. The band also donated their bonus, generating a total donation of $5,000. Equal Vision Records agreed to match the band's donation if the band reached No. 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. Cody Carson said, "We're honored to be working with VH1 Save the Music. If it wasn't for the music education program in my high school, Set It Off would not exist. I would not have met our guitarist, Dan Clermont, I wouldn't have been directed toward Oberlin Music Conservatory, and I wouldn't end up with even half of the musical knowledge I possess now. More people need to be able to experience the unity, leadership skills, and work ethic taught by being involved in music education programs in schools. Set It Off strongly endorses this organization for these, among many other, reasons. We're so excited to raise money for them and help spread the word about the importance of music education."{{cite web |date=August 14, 2012 |title=SET IT OFF TO DONATE FUNDS AND RAISE AWARENESS FOR VH1 SAVE THE MUSIC FOUNDATION |url=http://blog.equalvision.com/post/29429227451/set-it-off-to-donate-funds-and-raise-awareness |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130928001916/http://blog.equalvision.com/post/29429227451/set-it-off-to-donate-funds-and-raise-awareness |archive-date=28 Sep 2013 |access-date=February 9, 2024 |website=Tumblr |publisher=Equal Vision Records}}
