Pressure Set Release Self titled Debut Album

What could be more punk rock than starting a band over matching Rocket From The Crypt tattoos? But not just any band, a supergroup featuring members of The Bollweevils, Bear Away, SPELLS, The Methadones, Sludgeworth and Violets. The seed for Pressure Set was first planted in 2024 when drummer Rob Burleson toured with Denver’s SPELLS and met guitarist Dom Brining of UK’s Bear Away. One random tattoo discovery later and there was no turning back. Daryl Wilson (The Bollweevils) became involved, marking his first side project since Landos 45, and Wilson’s Chicago connections resulted in bassist Simon Lamb (The Methadones / Sludgeworth / Violets) completing the line up.

Eventually a fully-fledged album came to fruition, full of short, sharp blasts of high-energy punk rock with inspiration ranging from Gang of Four, Wipers and Hot Snakes, to the MC5, while giving a wink and nod to Descendents, Naked Raygun, and Samiam, as well as newer bands such as Meat Wave and Idles. Although the core of the band will always be the four punk vets, the fluid nature of Pressure Set and its revolving door of friends and family is just how the band likes it. Pressure Set’s self-titled debut is now available through streaming platforms, Bandcamp and on vinyl via Dr. Strange Records, and those fortunate enough to be attending The Fest in Gainesville, FL can catch Pressure Set live at The Backyard on October 24th.
