So I’d been intending to do a song Saturday series for Slam Dunk for months now, but things kept coming up/going wrong so instead of doing one every month/few weeks I’ve just not, boo! Anyway this is gonna be the first one, there is (hopefully) gonna be 4-7 of these but we’ll see.
The first 5 are gonna be done in order of my excitement to see them. With the last two being the newer ones so I’m not sure how I’ll place them.
So since Set It Off are first they’re the ones I wanna see most, meaning they’re the band who I will see regardless of who else is playing at that slot (shouldn’t be a problem, most of the bands I wanna see are the same stage). This is in part cause my time seeing them ended up being a disaster and I missed some of their set as a result, so I wanna see them properly (even though the festival set will be much shorter)
Anyway, onto the songs for them. I’ve decided on three, from the last three ‘eras’ they’ve done (I could do earlier ones but I figured three is enough.
First is the Midnight era song, Lonely Dance.
Midnight was the era that I got into the band and this was one of the first songs I heard that got me into them. Lonely Dance is one of my fav songs, even though (or perhaps because) it’s a song about depression and one I relate to as a result.
The video however is so… I say it’s like MCR’s Ghost Of You in the sense the video isn’t what you’d expect the song to be. It’s set on a spaceship, with a creature picking off the band one by one and killing them. I’ve no idea what made them do that but I love it, it’s such an awesome concept and it kinda feels like no expense was spared? The spaceship feels like it could be a set for a show or film, the prosthetics and make up wouldn’t lipook out of place in one either and it just feels so… (ironically) cinematic.
Also Maxx looks pretty with his bandana during the drumming sections and he does the drumstick twirl I love.
Next is the Elsewhere era song, Skeleton.
Skeleton was the first song from Elsewhere and it really set the tone. It’s my fav of the songs that they released as a single from it and I’m not sure if it’s cause it’s the first one I heard. What I love about the Elsewhere vids is that everything is so bright. The whole band have bright coloured hair (Maxx’s green hair is such a look) and the sets for the vids are equally bright, with a riot of colour.
Skeleton starts the Elsewhere vids showing off how weird and strange the brightly coloured world is. There’s a waiting room with strange people (including a devil, a nice reference to one of their other songs) and then it ends with Cody strapped down with the implication of surgery being done to him. It’s just so strange. The other Elsewhere vids are set in the same sort of world but it kinda feels they didn’t tell the whole story they meant it too. (Though now I wanna watch the other Elsewhere vids to be sure)
But again, Maxx is hot with the green hair.
Lastly is the current era song, Punching Bag.
The current era is kinda strange. It doesn’t have an album yet like the others, despite a few songs put out and Punching Bag is the main one with a video. it’s odd cause in the promo for some of the other songs there are clips of what is clearly from a music video (with Evil People especially) yet there’s no video for them. It’s strange.
I do love the aesthetic of this one, though, with some of it seemingly recorded on video giving it a found footage type feel. And I love how their eyes are kinda scratched out a few times. It makes me wonder (especially with the eyes at the start) if it means something but I’ve no idea.
I end on some pictures. I think it’s pretty obvious from this (and the few Set It Off fics I’ve done), that I have a fav member and that member is Maxx. I dunno there’s just something about him that I love. Maybe it’s cause I watched him stream a bunch and got to know him via that, or maybe it’s just cause I find him pretty.

Anyway there ends my song Saturday vid post/thirst pics of Maxx Danziger. (I just love him and crave more content with him please someone do some)
Next week I might continue this was the next Slam Dunk band (though I might do a bonus song Saturday tomorrow too unrelated)
