[edit] 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, 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, produced by Rod Shearer. Then came the first full length album, No Worries, in 1997, recorded at Le Studio Morin-Heights and produced by Rod Shearer too. 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 1999, 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 2000 but only stayed with the band for six months.

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. & it's only available in Canada & in the US.Today, Reset has a new line-up with Philippe Jolicoeur (guitar & vocals), Martin Gendreau (drums) and Claude Plamondon (bass & vocals). "Choke" and Kyoto are the singles and the new video clips for that album.On Kyoto song, RESET speak about Kyoto Protocol

Over the years Reset participated in five Canadian tours and three American tours, the 1997, 2000 & 2006 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.
