Scene Point Blank: Shortly after the recording of Mutiny! was finished you guys had your van and trailer stolen. And while it was emotionally draining and I was stressed out quite a bit, when I heard the final product I was so proud of it and the whole experience was entirely worth it. It was definitely a life changing experience. It forced us to grow up and evaluate where we were at in life. But yeah, it was three weeks of not at home living in an apartment in Washington. When he would have an idea for something he'd have us re-do it and then play it back, and it always did sound better. Sometimes it was just the little nuances that made the difference. At the same time I was skeptical of working with a real producer, but in the end it was nice to have someone else's take on the stuff we were doing. More recently he did the I Am the Avalanche album. Jordan: So that gives you an idea of the type of producer he is. Turns out it was never released stuff from Kurt Cobain. One day we found this unlabeled CD just laying around in his studio and asked him what it was. He did the first Foo Fighters record, Bush, Presidents of the USA, and countless others. The guy has gold records from all these amazing artists on his walls. I was definitely intimidated to be working with him at first, given the names that he's worked with and all. What was it like recording with a producer that has worked with bands like Nirvana and The Foo Fighters? Scene Point Blank: Let's talk about the new album. But yeah, next to Mediterranean food, burritos are my favorite thing to eat. Other places will deep-fry them for you, so its like chimichanga, and that's pretty good too. Sometimes I like getting them grilled afterwards. The cheese has to be melted over the rice. But no pintos! I prefer tomato or spinach tortillas. I'm talking sour cream, pico de gallo, guacamole, Spanish rice, and black beans. Jordan: It's got to have steak, but nothing too fatty, it has to be lean. Scene Point Blank: Love that place - I used to go to the one in Austin all the time when I lived there it's probably the biggest and best burrito I've ever had. There's this place back home called Freebirds and they have these gigantic burritos like this big. Jordan: Awesome question! I'm Jordan and I handle half of the vocals in Set Your Goals. State your name, role in Set Your Goals, and what do you like on your burrito? Scene Point Blank: Here's an icebreaker question.
Scene Point Blank caught up with vocalist Jordan Brown at the Cleveland stop on their US tour with Ignite. The result was a contract with Eulogy Recordings, a re-release of the EP, and one of the most anticipated full-length releases of 2006, Mutiny!. In support, the band hit the road with fellow Cali cohorts Life Long Tragedy last Summer. The band generated a huge buzz with their self-titled EP on Straight On Records. Set Your Goals have become one of the most talked about bands in the hardcore and punk music scenes, but with good reason.
