Sharing a deeply rooted love for all
floodwaves of Emocore spreading throughout
the turn of the millenium, "SETE" is a long
term passion project of Nicolas, vocalist of
the late and severely missed "The Tidal
Sleep" and Christoph, former bassist for
Germany's notorious pop enfant terrible
"Jennifer Rostock".
The seed for a joint collaboration was
planted almost a decade ago, but it took
several years to recruit a steady line up of
like minded individuals with enough
dedication to form a band with the intent of
heavy touring in the same 30 plus age range.
Joined by Austrian drummer powerhouse
Bernhard plus guitarists Lasse and Pascal,
the latter taking over the captain's seat on
the studio bridge, SETE immersed into a fast
forward pace from 2024. The lightning speed
rehearsal to recording pipeline led to a
fully finished and polished debut EP in a
matter of just a few months.
SETE's soundscape fully embraces its mother
base in early 2000s Myspace subculterism,
while transposing the nostalgia aesthetics
into contemporary manners within a forefront
present-day production. Big melodies with a
goosebump guarantee get to cuddle with
heartfelt feels in a diverse spectrum
ranging from tuned down heaviness to a
certified cringe free pop appeal.
"Sounds like a harder version of Jimmy Eat
World." - A friend
"Reminds me of The Casket Lottery" - That
one friend who's really deep into Emo lore
"Is the screaming really necessary?" - Mom
