UNSET Bio:
Frank W. Torres and Ian Alexander met in San Diego, CA in October 2002. Originally from Long Island, New York, Frank sought a new beginning and a new life on the west coast. Ian, born and raised in San Diego, had already been a guitarist in several local acts and was looking to start a project of his own.
in the summer of 2004. Ian and Frank decided to start their own musical Project: UNSET.
Ians Former band-mate and close friend, Chris Coulson, was asked to join UNSET, as he was already known for his funky basslines and electric on-stage performace.
Their goal was to create songs that are snapshots of moments in time: Dramatic, edgy, dark, and beautiful.
"The contrast is what makes the music come to life."
Frank W. Torres Quotes.
After a long search, Ian found Drummer Kurt Otto playing at a local San Diego music venue. Former member of the band Festerbilt, Kurt agreed to a meeting which led to him joining UNSET.
Guitarist - Steve Gilliland was only 17 years old when his brother introduced him to Frank W. Frank noticed Steves guitar playing was remarkable for being so young and after several years of stage experience, Steve was eventually asked to join UNSET as the final piece to the San Diego based Quintet.
Since their first show in MARCH of 2006, UNSET has been creating a Huge buzz in Southern California. Their music and performance has gained the respect of fans and musicians alike. UNSET has had the privilage of playing shows with well known acts such as:
INVITRO (Ex-SNOT/SOULFLY), ADEMA, HED(P.E.), SILENT CIVILIAN (Ex-SPINESHANK), THE DREAMING (Ex- STABBING WESTWARD), SPRUNG MONKEY, MOWER, The ACCIDENT EXPERIMENT (Ex-P.O.D.), OUTLETT, MEDIA LAB, DIVIDED BY ZERO, and many other great acts.

UNSET's first official 4 song release was Produced in May 2006 by MIKEY DOLING, Guitarist of the Legandary band "SNOT", and engineered by BRAD "Big Al" DUJMOVIC in HOLLYWOOD, CA.

UNSET officially signed with GRIDIRON RECORDS in April 2007.
