Set Fire Post Led Zeppelin Cover “No Quarter”; New EP Coming Soon

SET FIRE

It is not a huge shocker to find Boston trio Set Fire making the most of their richly melodic dual-vocal approach on their new single. That’s kind of what they do. But given that the new single is a cover of Led Zeppelin‘s “No Quarter” — also undertaken by the likes of Crowbar and Tool on separate occasions — their doing so is of particular note. The song is out today through the usual streaming suspects, and it is intended to herald the arrival of the EP the band recorded earlier this year with none other than Benny Grotto at nowhere other than Mad Oak Studios.

This will not by any means be Set Fire‘s first EP, and in fact it wasn’t intended to be one. But when you say things like “recorded earlier this year,” the usual shrug-ready context doesn’t apply to 2020. In fact, Set Fire were in the process of putting together their first album when life as we used to know it went down the tubes, and rather than continue to sit on the material in hopes of finishing it at who-knows-when time, they’re opting instead to roll with what they’ve got, among which is a pretty rad take on “No Quarter.” I certainly understand the impulse.
