Biography

RSS
A hardcore punk rock band that formed upon the demise of Thumbs Down, the Setup -- Dries (vocals), Raf (guitar), Andries (guitar), Christophe (bass), and Serch (drums) -- formed in 2002. After solidifying their instrumental lineup of guitars, bass, and drums, the Setup began working out songs and eventually settled on singer Dries to handle vocal duties. Upon the release of their first record, The Pretense of Normality, the Setup found themselves on the road for much of the next two years, and after honing their chops on-stage, they were ready to get back to the studio. The resulting full-length, Minister of Death, was well received, and landed the band further touring slots, this time with Path of Resistance and Ringworm. ~ Chris True, All Music Guide
