The Death Set Are a dance/punk crossover band from Baltimore, although they’re much better at the punk part then the dance part. Their songs usually consist of male or female melodic punk vocals, a repetitive and hard drum beat, a couple of beeps and blips, maybe a sample or so, and buzzsaw guitars. They’ve got a good sound, and are at their best when they keep the energy up and the songs short. Give it a whirl, no balls req’d.
