Artist Spotlight: Set The Pace

Heading into the glorious weekend with a brand new edition of Artist Spotlight for today! We head down to Fairfield County, CT and uncover the youth infused sounds of Set The Pace. The band consists of Mike Neaton on lead vocals, P.J. Runko on vocals and synth, Greg Carter on guitar, Jeremy Neaton on guitar, Robbie Williams on bass, and Casey O'Dea on drums and backup vocals. The band's music is a mixture of melodic hardcore with some synth based influences thrown in for good measure that makes them stand out from other bands within their respective genre. What struck a chord for me with these guys was their ability to be comfortable and at ease with the type of music they're playing and their ability to communicate with the audience, which is essential for any band to master the art of in this day of age. A terrific upstart audience that needs a little boost to move ahead of the other acts out there. Some recommended tracks for you to check out include "Stylin' and Pillin'" and "Movie Theater Pop-Core".

For more information on Set The Pace, head on over to their Facebook page located here and give them a quick 'Like' if you appreciate what they have to give you. The band is also on Twitter from over here and see when they'll be making their way through the Boston area with a concert appearance. Their latest album titled "Call Your Friends" came out last month, and is now available for free streaming and download from their Bandcamp site located right here.
