As for the formation of Total Setup, they tell an epic tale, a tale where one man has a dream, a dream to make it big in the world. That man shares his dream with another man. And that other man just happens to have a drum kit. A desperate search goes out for the bass and lead, and well the rest is history.

They’ve got one original recording ‘Expectations (of a Wanted Man)’ that you can check out on their Facebook page. Watch out, it’s catchy, with a bouncy old-school punk rhythm section at points and Nirvana-esque melodic changes. The vocals are smooth and nonchalant, recalling slightly the voice of Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys.

If you’re yearning for more, you can check them out on YouTube. Their page is filled with live recordings, which should pump you up for coming out on May 12th to see them play live at X&Y.
