Ears Wide Open: The Active Set

Nov 11, 2011, 7:27pm Buzz Bands
Ears Wide Open: The Active Set Talk about perfect timing for an album release. L.A. band the Active Set has cautiously released two singles over the last couple of years, but they've been waiting to present "113 on just the right date — which is today, Nov. 11, 2011. Their debut also consists of 11 tracks which offer a diverse sound palette that will please fans of new wave and '80s post-punk (albeit sometimes tinted by some tropical rhythms). Matthew Stolarz, Wayne Russell, Francis Ramsden, and Michael Castro also dabble in a bit of electronica as synthesizers weave in and out of guitar riffs [...]

MM Shorts 24: Active Set Video

The Active Set - Famous For Dying
Here's a new video from the upcoming Active Set album 11 . The song was inspired by an old interview with L.A. songwriter Warren Zevon , who was said to have turned down a story in the New Yorker when he was dying of lung cancer, saying that they should have reached out when he was alive. The song was written as a dark tribute to him. The video has a different take on the concept - it may be the best zombie music video since Thriller .... [...]

The Active Set - Famous For Dying
Found this via yvinyl - it's a zombie themed music video from the LA band The Active Set. The video is for "Famous For Dying" and the dudes get mauled by zombies while performing their song. It's got a little bit of humor to it as well. As yvinyl said, perfect for Halloween.

The Active Set - It Multiplies
We turned the crank on The Active Set a few months back in New Band Smell, and shared the song It Multiplies . The band's next record is in the can and could appear as soon as next month, but until then, we figured we might as well share the noirish video for It Multiplies .

New Band Smell : The Active Set

Feb 4, 2011, 4:31pm My Old Kentucky Blog
The Active Set - Let The Games Begin
Brit Pop by way of L.A., The Active Set is a hyper-kinetic quartet that would like nothing better than to grab your attention long enough to make you shake yer ass. New single It Multiplies is a good old-fashioned cattin' around sound disguised as an earnest Bloc Party-meets-Luna shakedown. I'm guessing we'll be seeing these lads in Austin.

Tonight in L.A.: The Active Set, Loch & Key and Cola-Cola at IPO, Cold War Kids, Circa Survive

Tonight in L.A.: The Active Set, Loch & Key and Cola-Cola at IPO, Cold War Kids, Circa Survive [Moment of silence this morning to mark the passing of Fear founding member Derf Scratch ...] International Pop Overthrow surges into the second week of its annual celebration of classic and power-pop — with six to eight bands per night at rotating venues, it's an impossibly unwieldy festival to get your ears around (especially with the dearth of band links on the event's 1998-style website ). But IPO still embodies the exuberant, inclusive spirit of its founder, David Bash. You [...]

The Active Set: Let The Games Begin

May 25, 2010, 8:00am Insomnia Radio: Daily Dose
The Active Set: Let The Games Begin The recently released single from Los Angeles based The Active Set. Matthew Stolarz was dissatisfied. A Los Angeles native, he had helped form and was playing bass in L.A. punk rock band the Briggs, but it just wasn't enough. Drawing from a wide range of influences, he had written an abundance of material that needed a proper home. He left the Briggs to make this happen, and formed the Active Set. With a healthy nod to '80s post-punk and new wave, the Active [...]

The Active Set: Let The Games Begin

May 24, 2010, 6:33pm Music Fans Mic
The Active Set: Let The Games Begin Words: Nathan Standlee The Active Set are a four-piece indie-punk outfit from Los Angeles, California. Based on the press shots I've seen of the band (each member frozen in ridiculously cheesy mid-air jumps), which is all I have to go on at this point, I'm slightly wary of what musical garbage might possibly be dumped in my ears for the next three minutes. Obviously I never learned anything from the age old warning, 'Don't judge a book by its cover'. 'Let the Games Begin' is actually [...]

The Active Set And Thee Vicars.

Mar 23, 2010, 5:13pm MOJOPHENIA
Photo Credit Sterling Andrews @ Shutterface Photography "The band decided to spend 2010 putting out a stream of singles. Singer/bassist Matthew Stolarz was the original bassist of The Briggs (who are a fairly well known anthemic punk rock band, on SideOne Dummy records) yet he left and formed the Active Set, which is something quite different. Here he shares his story of leaving and starting from scratch". The Active Set`s subtly poetic new wave focus, a [...]
