History

Formed originally by vocalist Rob Ulrich and bassist Josh Bodeen as an acoustic cover band, they later recruited a full band and started writing songs. In the Midwest tour circuit, they entered the 2011 Rockstar Uproar Festival Battle of the Bands with 5300 other hopefuls, and were awarded the win. They gained national traction as they secured a slot on the 2012 Uproar Festival.

Mindset began their tour cycle for Brave Bold & Broken at Rock on the Range. They performed as support for label-mates Korn's Reunion Tour with Head, followed by several dates with Buckcherry and an appearance at Rocklahoma. "Burn It Down" was the band's first success at active rock radio, first taking off on Octane (Sirius XM)'s Big Un's countdown, then breaking on to spend 15 weeks on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart peaking at 30. They spent the summer touring with Fight or Flight followed by a 2-week West Coast run of festivals with Avenged Sevenfold, Korn and Volbeat. They finished up 2013 with Gemini Syndrome, and Starset. They are currently writing and planning a new record.
