The Setup
There are several bands with the name: 'The Setup'
1) The California Vegan Straight Edge Band
2) The belgian hardcore band
3) The british inde band from Stoke-On-Trent
4) The Scottish Indie band from Edinburgh
5) The American band from Michigan
1) A Vegan Straight Edge band from Chula Vista, CA, they released the "Screams of Reason" 7" on Words of War Records and the "Straight Outta Chula Vista " demo in 1998 for their tour that same year. They were also set to release a full length CD on Warpath Records but that unfortunately was never released.
2)The Setup has quickly built a name for themselves by ferociously bulldozing every basement and club in Belgium and surrounding areas these last couple of years. Within merely a year after their incarnation they released their first mini. Whilst getting amazing reviews for their first outing “Nine Kinds Of Pain”, the band never felt quite satisfied with it’s outcome. Guitarist Andries Beckers explains: “Putting this record together was a much more thought-out process. The mini-CD was initially only meant to be a demo tape, but how can one refuse an offer to have it released on both CD and 7” format? This new record is much more about us and what we are about now though. There are no drastic changes musically, but everything from the lyrics, to the layout, to the mastering was a more conscious effort this time around.” And it shows. Behold the new, more mature incarnation of The Setup.
This Belgian outfit features members of hardcore stalwarts Circle and Thumbs Down. However, one listen to this record will demonstrate that The Setup is not interested in reliving its past. Musically influences rather range from the renowned mid 90’s newschool band Unbroken on the renowned New Age label, to other legendary bands like Turmoil, Deadguy and Earth Crisis.

Andries - Guitar
Benjamin - Drums

5.) The Setup is a facultative symbiotic creature that dwells in the North American Great Lakes Region. The Setup is primarily concerned with producing “Music” but is also greatly invested in implement manipulation and extended periods of mental, physical and spiritual idleness. The Setup has a generally amiable disposition although it is known to experience bouts of antisocial behavior and isolationist territorial claims in the presence of large numbers of other creatures. The Setup feeds primarily on its own physiological excrement or on the apparent chemical satisfaction it gains from social observation. The Setup often is preyed upon by more advanced, intricate creatures that are in higher stages of development, but due to its distinctly unsanitary composition, it is rarely given the extended attention of other animals. Under most circumstances one can find The Setup cooing incoherently, percussively striking the various discarded items it salvages from periods of wanderlust, often in enclosed areas and almost certainly alone. Despite the obvious futility of these behaviors, The Setup appears to be most satisfied in these esoteric flights of sounds, sights and sentimentality.
