The San Francisco-based pop punk band Set Your Goals first gained some notoriety after it performed as the backing band for American punk singer Vinnie Caruana for a select number of shows in the US and UK. Set Your Goals reached a buy-out agreement with Eulogy Recordings in August of 2008. The band parted on bad terms, with co-vocalist Jordan Brown issuing the following statement on AbsolutePunk.net: "These were not sent as bragging rights. Please do not buy Eulogy records, do not buy Set Your Goals merch from Eulogy's e-store. John has made an untraceable amount of money off of SYG's music and will continue to do so. We have never seen a dime. I have always said from day one that i don't do any of this for money, and i do not. But it does not sit well with me the amount of money he has kept from us (and many other bands). I could care less [sic] about seeing any of that money for myself, but i would rather it be with somebody or another band who deserves it more than John Wylie does. We cannot regain control of our Mutiny cd; the reset songs we will get back in another 3 years. For now he continues to milk Set Your Goals for what he can." Following the statement, co-vocalist Matt Wilson hinted that the band'd upcoming album would be self-released. However, in March 2009, the band announced its signing with Epitaph Records, which released Set Your Goals' second album, This Will Be the Death of Us, on July 21, 2009. Description from last.fm.
