Record Setter

Record Setter are a four-piece screamo/emo band from Denton, Texas that began in 2011. After a few sporadic releases, they released I Owe You Nothing this month via Topshelf Records. This is an absolute statement of a record, with powerful performances and a literally seamless delivery. Each track flows effortlessly into the next, making for one unforgettable, singular experience. Sonically, I don't think I've ever heard a record that appeals to virtually every niche this blog thrives in.. It's even hard to nail down particular elements of this, as every turn is another resounding "fuck yes", with something fresh and unequivocally unique. Instead of just rambling here, I highly, highly suggest you check this out. Without a doubt this is one of the best records I've heard this year, and an absolute listen for anyone fans of anything screamo-adjacent. Enjoy.
