[edit] History
Reset was formed in 1995. The original band members were Pierre Bouvier, Philippe Jolicoeur, Charles-André Comeau 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.
Reset recorded a demo tape in 1995, Concerned. Then came the first full length album, No Worries, in 1997, recorded at Le Studio Morin-Heights. The band shot a video clip for the single "Why?". In 1998, Reset had a different line up. Bouvier was now singing and playing bass, and a new member, Adrian White from Vancouver, replaced Comeau as drummer. In 2000, the band released 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: "Pollution", "Pressure", and "My Dream and I". David Desrosiers replaced Bouvier in 2001 but only stayed with the band for six months before leaving to rejoin Bouvier in his new band, Simple Plan.
In 2004, Reset released a third album, Radioactive. The album was produced, performed, mixed and mastered by Philippe Jolicoeur. Today, Reset has a new line-up with Philippe Jolicoeur (guitar & vocals), Martin Gendreau (drums) and Claude Plamondon (bass & vocals). "Choke" is the single and the new video clip for that album.
Over the years Reset participated in five Canadian tours and one American tour, the 2000 Vans Warped Tour in North America. Reset has played with bands such as Green Day, NOFX, Pennywise, Lagwagon, MxPx, Millencolin, Strung Out, Face to Face, Papa Roach and Ten Foot Pole.
As the first two CDs were no longer available, they were reissued as a single CD in November 2006, with brief introductions in the liner notes written by Comeau and Bouvier.
