hey folks! did you listen to wolf in sheep’s clothing as a teen because it sounded cool and evil and found it through some fanbase or tiktok? do you like fall out boy and other similar bands? well i’m here today to tell you about:

THE REST OF SET IT OFF’S DISCOGRAPHY & WHY YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT THEM!✨

gonna preface this with the fact that i was inspired to write this after reading @iridescentides post (here)

let’s start with their music! sio has been a band for over 12 years, starting in 2008, and has been constantly shifting and evolving their sound. at first they were scene boys that kind of sounded like all time low copycats; then they moved into that dark, heavy, edgy sound that you’re familiar with (their three most streamed songs on spotify all have this cinematic sound), and then they started exploring how to involve more pop elements into their music. by now they have a very unique edgy pop rock sound, and plan to keep evolving. i mean look at their aesthetic evolution!

another thing about their songs: if you like that anger you found in wolf in sheep’s clothing, you’re in luck! consider exploring such songs as killer in the mirror, NME, the haunting, and hypnotized. their most dramatic song, by the way, is a christmas song??? i don’t understand how they managed it but it’s fucking incredible. and not all their songs are angry though, and they deal a lot with mental health. i have a spotify playlist with my subjective opinions on which are some of their best, but if you want more hmu!

in terms of the actual band members, and i say this being a moderator for cody’s twitch channel: they are sweethearts, very genuine, and absolutely hilarious. and there's not an ounce of toxic masculinity to be found among them. believe me when i say cody is a humanized golden retriever, zach is the funniest person on the planet, and maxx super super nice (and many fans experience gender envy for this man. seriously, look at him). not to mention they are very handsome dudes :) (left to right is zach the guitarist, cody the vocalist, and maxx the drummer, although sometimes cody will hop on the drums for a bit and maxx sings one of the songs and plays it on ukuele.)

that being said, their fanbase is built off of mutual respect, kindness, honesty, and being fucking hilarious. i’ve never seen a band that cared about their fans this much, and actively cultivate an environment where everyone is as comfortable as they can manage, including drop-kicking (not literally) a previous member and dropping a band from a future tour as soon as they found out they were being weird to sio fans. i’ve also seen cody go into big brother mode multiple times over fans 🥺 and they listen to their fans because they want to be the best that they can be.

because of this, they’ve created a very powerful fanbase, to the point where they literally won an award on having amazing fans. they got so much bullshit thrown at them before and after the release of their newest album, but somehow they’ve only managed to grow, and grow a LOT. with that being said, i’m pretty confident they’re about to blow the fuck up way more with their next album soooo now’s a pretty good time to get on board.

last thing i’ll add, cody and maxx stream on twitch! i’m one of cody’s moderators and we try to create a similar environment around streams; enjoy yourself, and treat each other with respect. cody’s streams can get pretty chaotic in a good way (its the hyperactive type adhd) and for maxx’s i love the amount of strange tangents that turn into hilarious inside jokes (teeth of the month club! put em in your mouth!) they also play dnd together on thursdays with their tour tech jon and friend kellie and it’s a great time :’) if you’re interested, here’s a link to one of maxx’s twitch highlight reels (made by the amazing and talented @breakyourfall) and one of my own favorite clips from cody’s streams (someone asked him to sing his favorite christmas carol, and then someone played a sound alert but he couldn't hear it)

a few extra thoughts:

their live shows are one of their biggest strengths. they are so fucking fun

there’s an acoustic version of wolf in sheep’s clothing. codys vocals in the bridge. help

they're aggressively supportive of the queer community! here's a thing that happened at one of my shows! cody's smile at me after he waves it is amazing. anyways yeah they have SO MANY queer fans.

they are professional goofballs. they used to do youtube videos when they had more time on their hands and they’re all hilarious. they don’t do them anymore but i’ve heard they’re considering starting a podcast?? maybe??

tldr; set it off are hilarious, genuine people, and you should start listening to thhem before they blow up the entire world

Track By Track Reaction to Midnight by Set It Off.

This was written as I was listening. So excuse any typoes. 

Killer In The Mirror - Why is it so aggressive? Why are these words so true? Why do I want to yell this at all the assholes I went to high school with? Or my old boss… Or that co-worker who ratted me out for something I didn’t do? Acturally this is quite a bop. Like I have no idea what “killer in the mirror” really means but I actually feel it in my bones… Yes. I’m going to send this to all those poeple who were assholes in high school. Yup. 

Hourglass - Reminds me a bit of old school SIO. Really digging this song. Is this song about a middle age crisis? Or an existential crisis? I think middle aged… Why is that relateable when I’m only 25? For some reason I want to go reread all those texts message I sent with my ex best friend that I kind of miss alot… Wait. This is the epitomy of reading old text messages with your ex at 3am… Then writing a pissy drunk text and deleting it? 

Lonely Dance - This album is literally how I feel every other day. The anthem of those of us who have anxiety and hate people. This how I feel when I’m writing in my room late at night surrounded by my obscure Marvel and music collection that no one ever sees… Also a BOP. I’m going to blast this on repeat every other day and scream the lyrics in my car, even when people are in the car with me. Yes. Yes. This song is my new anthem. 

Different Songs - Why is this song about action figures? Oh wait… A guitar? Is this about old school SIO changing? OMG IT IS! No wait… It’s about growing apart with the people you used to know? Wait no they are flipping off everyone who’s talking about their style changing? Wait… No it’s about an old relationship? I can’t figure this one out. Oh who cares. Another song I wanna dance to. But think it’s the one about growing apart. 

For You Forever - Already digging the change in pace. A little slower… Don’t hate it. OH SNAP! Bring that chorus around. You tell that person to stop stringing you along, Cody. YOU TELL THEM! Why is this also relatable? I hate this. Give me a song I can’t relate to on this album. Come on SIO! 

Dancing With The Devil - Demon voice? WHAT!? Wait… Why does this start sound like We Can’t Stop by Miley Cyrus? Did anyone else realize this? Not bad though… Not my favorite… I don’t think I like this one… Why is Cody now a demon? What’s he doing? Why don’t I like this? Why do I also want to sing along? Are there more than 1 demon in that back track? Why is is slow now? What is this song… Why is he angry again? I’m so distracted by the demon voice I can’t listen to the words. HE’S TALKING REALLY FAST!!!! Bring back the chorus CODY! And Demon man is back… Phew. Finished. 

Go To Bed Angry - Another slow beat… I can dig this. A little sway in my chair. Cool. Cool. I wish people listened to this anthem more often. Going to bed angry is literally bad for your health. Check the studies. Cody is onto something. GIRL!? WHO IS GIRL!? (check track) Oh it does say there’s a feature artist. Okay. She’s got a good voice. I should check her out… She’s no Ash Costello in Parners in Crime but…. Let’s all just go to bed happy. Send this to people who are mad at you when they pull the “Night.” text and hope they get the message? Not my favorite song on this album but not my least so far… 

Midnight Thoughts - YES! My favorite song heard before the release! JAM TIME! Mostly because this is literally how I feel every night. Excuse me while I go dance a bit and try not to wake up the roommates while I celebrate the existance of this song. ooooOOOoooOOOooo! 

Criminal Minds - Why does this sound like something that should be Hercules… That Disney movie you know and- Wait. What? This is a very different sound… I… I think I like it? I feel like this should be a musical or something. Like Cody is singing a solo in an emotional musical. He’s the protagonist. He’s a detective falling in love with the suspect, but this is the scene where he has a mental breakdown about what he should do about this situation. He’s debating running away with the suspect but he knows she might be guilty… And now we are full circle to that tour they did back in like 2014 with the masks and stuff with the Bonnie and Clyde story. Oh it’s over…

No Disrespect - Ooooo I like this guitar. This is the next number in the musical I was talking about. The suspect ran off with her drug dealer boyfriend after Cody let her go. Now he’s losing his job and pissed off at her. I need to get off this musical thing… This is a funky song. I like it. I wonder who pissed off Cody again? Piano? What!? Acoustic guitar? Where is this going? Now we’re in a romantic ballad? Never mind… He’s still mad… 

Stitch Me Up - Awwww… This reminds me of my best friends that have helped put me back together after all the shitty things I’ve been through… Already loving this song. The beat is good and lyrics are so amazing. I love this message as well… Everything you went through makes you who you are. My cat has even emerged to listen to this song. He’s digging it as well. YEAH CAT! When the cat approves it’s a good song right? This ones in the top 5 of this album. Yup. Also reminds me of S-Club7 for some reason? 

Raise No Fool - Call out all those fakers! YES! I like this. WHAT A JAM! Screw all the people who have tried to use me. I’mma send this to my old boss. In a random email. 2 years from now. When she forgets. Where was this song 3 months ago when I lost my job? Because this was perfect to decribe what happened. Instead of trying to type out what happened I could have just sent them this song! Also should send it to those people who strung me along over the years… The losing my job is just fresh. Also in the top 5. I’ll sing this LOUD at the next show. Don’t worry y’all. Abrupt end though? 

I Want You (Gone) - Someone hurt you!? WHO HURT YOU!? Someone hurt me… This is literally how I felt when I stopped talking to you like 3 years ago… And was ignoring all my friends and family telling me they were draining my happiness. Nothing was more relieving than taking all your stuff and shoving it in a box under my bed. Still trying to get my life back after those almost 5 years of my life wasted. There’s the trumpet! I was waiting for a trumpet. I like this song. Do I like this song or just the lyrics? Another song that seems like it should be in a musical. What if I wrote a musical with all these songs in it? Can I get those rights? Set It Off… Let’s chat about that. The next Broadway hit is Midnight. 

Unopened Windows - A VERY slow jam… This is cute… When it’s gonna turn dark… I feel it coming… Such a sweet song though. I wanna make a cover of this song. It’s so sweet. This would also be perfect in that musical we talked about. Oooo it’s picking up a bit… This feels so raw compared to their usual music. Why they gotta throw this curve ball at me? They better play this on the next tour. So I can cry… Now I wanna cry… I’mma cry… It’s making me sad… So many feels… I’m crying… This is a part 2 to Dad’s Song. Holy shit… No one warned me about this emotion!!! I miss Cloe so damn much… 

Happy All The Time - Still trying to get over Unopened Window’s. Hold on. Okay I can listen to this now. I’m half way through and can’t focus. I’m not crazy? Thank you, Cody. I like this. Sounds like another anthem. This was a good follow up to me bawling… Jesus… Okay. I forgive them. They literally just told me the fact I cried was okay because I don’t have to be happy all the time.
