Set It Off is an American rock band based in Tampa, Florida. The band has gained a large following through vocalist Cody Carson's YouTube Channel and was subsequently signed by Equal Vision Records after releasing a string of successful extended plays. Out of the two studio albums that have been released, both have charted on the US Billboard 200; Cinematics (2012) peaked at 174 while Duality (2014) peaked at 86.

Cody Carson met Dan Clermont in high school when the two were in the marching band together and became friends. Austin M. Kerr and Zach Dewall were in a band together prior to the formation of Set It Off. The band played local shows with the band that Carson was in at the time. Then, Carson left for Ohio to attend the Oberlin Conservatory of Music as a classical clarinet student. In his first year, after exchanging a series of YouTube videos with him, Carson asked All Time Low's frontman Alex Gaskarth if he could sing Coffee Shop Soundtrack on stage at the group's upcoming concert at the Cleveland House Of Blues via YouTube video, to which Gaskarth agreed. That performance had helped Carson confirm his dream of starting a rock band, and not long after Carson dropped out of college and used his school money to come back and start up the band. Dewall and Kerr were amongst the first to follow. Dan Clermont also joined the band. James Arran was Set It Off's initial drummer. Financial struggles made gas purchases difficult for him, making his stress levels much worse which resulted in James resigning on August 24, 2008. Blake Howell became Set It Off's next drummer. He had soon left the band due to difficulties his family was facing. Blake was replaced by Benjamin Panico (nicknamed Benji Panic by Set It Off) on October 30, 2009; however, they have since parted ways so that Benji could pursue his GED and later to start his own photography studio. The current drummer for the band, Maxx Danziger, was found through a mutual friend (Blake)

Set It Off released its first EP, Baby, You Don't Tripajaharda on October 31, 2008.

Set It Off self-released its EP Calm Before the Storm. on May 16, 2009.

Set It Off self-released the single "Hush Hush" on September 6, 2010. A music video was made to accompany the song on October 4, 2010.
