Biography

Reset is a punk rock band that formed in 1993 in Montreal , Quebec , Canada .

History

Reset was formed in 1993 by Pierre Bouvier and Chuck Comeau when they were 13 years old. The original band members were Pierre Bouvier (vocals), Philippe Jolicoeur (guitar and vocals), Chuck Comeau (drums) and Jean-Sébastien Boileau (bass). The first name for Reset was Roach, but there was another band in Canada also named Roach so the band members changed the name to Reset.

The band's first full length album, No Worries , released in 1997, was recorded at Le Studio Morin-Heights and produced by Rod Shearer. The band shot a video clip for the single "Why? ". In 1998, the band lineup changed. Bouvier took Boileau's place in playing bass and a new member, Adrian White from Vancouver , replaced Comeau as drummer after a conflict between Bouvier and Comeau (see song Friend - 1999).

In 1999, the band released No Limits (Reset album)|No Limits , which was co-written by Adrian White. This album was recorded in Vancouver , British Columbia , and was produced by Greg Reely. Three video clips were filmed for No Limits (Reset album)|No Limits : "Pollution", "Pressure", and "My Dream and I". Shortly after the filming of "Pressure", Bouvier left Reset to reacquaint with Comeau and form Simple Plan . David Desrosiers replaced Bouvier in 2000 but only stayed with the band for six months, being recruited by Simple Plan members to fill their bass spot.

In 2003, Reset released a third album, Radioactive . The album was produced, performed, mixed and mastered by Philippe Jolicoeur. This is the first album that Phil produced with his own record label, Indy Rekordz Inc. "Choke" and "Kyoto" are the singles and the new video clips for that album. On "Kyoto", Reset speaks about Kyoto Protocol . Today, Reset has a new line-up with Philippe Jolicoeur (guitar and vocals), Martin Gendreau (drums) and Claude Plamondon (bass and vocals).

In March 2008, they released their fourth album No Intensity . This album is similar to their first album No Worries , with anti-government songs very influentials like "Corrupted To The Bone", "Redemption" and "Papillon". This last song is based on the book named Papillon (autobiography)|Papillon written by Henri Charrière . The single for this album is the song named 'No Intensity'. The album is produced by Rod Shearer, who also produced No Worries and the band's demo CD Concerned .

Over the years Reset participated in five Canadian tours and three American tours, the 1997, 2000 and 2006 Vans Warped Tour in North America. Reset has played with bands such as Green Day , MxPx , NOFX , Pennywise (band)|Pennywise , Millencolin , Lagwagon , Face to Face (punk band)|Face to Face , Strung Out , and Ten Foot Pole .

In March 2009, the band performed a special show with their original line-up for Musique Plus's (French Much Music ) punk rock show 1-2-3 Punk! 10th anniversary. They played with GrimSkunk , The Sainte Catherines , Vulgaires Machins , The Planet Smashers and Subb .. Noise Press . Retrieved 2009-03-02
