Hailing from Baltimore USA, by way of the Gold Coast, Australia, The Death Set was formed by Johnny Siera and Beau Velasco in 2005.

Both drawn to each others reckless care of music, Johnny and Beau united to write fleeting songs with infectious hooks and overdriven melody. Following two home-recorded EPs ('To' and 'Rad Warehouses Bad Neighborhoods') The Death Set signed to Ninja Tune off-shoot Counter Records in 2008 and released their debut album 'Worldwide', which within 25 relentless minutes they manage to fit in 18 tracks of reckless electro-punk abandon. Heavily influenced by traditional punk bands such as Black Flag, Minor Threat, and Buzzcocks, The Death Set channel their 'punk roots' through their love for hip-hop beats, and mad-capped electronica.

Having released one of our favourite albums of 2008, 'Worldwide' (Ninja Tune / Counter Records), we just had to get The Death Set on the 'punk' volume of our OIB Records split series. Formed by Johnny Siera and Beau Velasco (RIP) in Australia in 2005, the band soon relocated to Baltimore USA and began to tear up every house-party in sight with their heavily punk-influenced electro and reckless disregard for instruments. Drenched with b-movie samples and grotesque brain-eating lyrics 'Zombie' is a furious, electro-punk track that features ludicrously fast keys, 'killer' riffs, and Johnny's trademark high-pitched rapid-fire punk snarl.

Volume 3 of our limited edition split 7” series. Limited to 450 copies with reversible gatefold sleeve, insert and one-inch badges. The series will culminate with volume 5 a series comprehensive vinyl boxset and CD compilation.
