Reset

Reset delivers a quintessential blast of 90s-style skate punk that feels like a caffeinated rush through a Montreal winter. Their sound is defined by lightning-fast drum fills, crunchy power chords, and that specific brand of melodic urgency that defined the Epitaph and Fat Wreck Chords era. It is music that refuses to sit still, characterized by a relentless forward momentum and a gritty, street-level authenticity.

What makes them stand out is the interplay between their aggressive hardcore roots and a polished, hook-heavy sensibility. While many of their contemporaries leaned fully into the 'pop' side of the genre, Reset maintained a sharper edge, favoring social commentary and a slightly darker, more technical approach to their riffing. The vocal delivery is earnest and strained in the best way possible, capturing the frustration and energy of youth.

Start with 'No Worries' or 'No Limits' to hear the band at their peak of influence. These records bridge the gap between raw underground punk and the massive melodic sound that would eventually lead several members to global stardom. It is the ideal soundtrack for anyone who misses the golden age of the Warped Tour.
