The rock community was rocked by unexpected news last Friday. Just a month before the debut EP release of The S.E.T. titled “Self Evident Truth,” the band announced on Instagram the dismissal of their guitarist, Brady Ebert. In a statement released that Friday afternoon, the group revealed their decision to part ways with the former Turnstile guitarist, citing his unacceptable comments and behavior toward the band members and the community. Ebert, a founding member of Turnstile in 2010, had been embroiled in controversy over his recent remarks about his former bandmates, claiming they lacked concern for ethics and social issues, and accusing a bandmate of misusing charity funds. This revelation came just after Turnstile’s win for Best Rock Album at the Grammy Awards.
Ebert’s departure from Turnstile in August 2022, without a specified reason, was later linked to tensions with another member. Three years after leaving Turnstile, Ebert established The S.E.T., a self-proclaimed alternative-indie group with a debut EP coming soon. Their first live performance at Zen West in Baltimore marked the beginning of a new chapter for Ebert and his bandmates. As they gear up for the release of “Self Evident Truth” on March 6, The S.E.T. has kept fans on their toes regarding any potential replacements for their former guitarist.
Despite the unexpected turn of events, The S.E.T. continues to push forward with their music, looking ahead to the release of their debut EP. Ebert’s past with Turnstile may have been controversial, but his current project with The S.E.T. promises a fresh start and a new wave of music for their dedicated audience. The band’s resilience and determination to move past the drama sets a powerful tone for their future endeavors. In a world where headlines are dominated by drama, The S.E.T. stands firm in their commitment to creating music that resonates with their community.
