Starset

Starset is an American rock band from Columbus, Ohio, founded in 2013 by vocalist and scientist Dustin Bates. What sets Starset apart from the crowd is their unique fusion of hard rock, cinematic orchestration, and electronic elements, all wrapped in a deeply immersive science-fiction universe.
