The Go Set are a five-piece punk rock band which formed in 2002 and is built around founding member and songwriter Justin Keenan. They cite influences such as The Pogues, Weddings Parties Anything, The Clash, and Radio Birdman as the most influential groups in their music, and have a particularly Australian social and political emphasis within their lyrics.

The GO SET have created a sound of its own by combining traditional folk instruments with distorted punk guitars and timeless rock n roll energy.

They have supported such bands as The Living End, The White Stripes, The Bouncing Souls, Flogging Molly, Pulley, Reel Big Fish, Wolfmother and The Stranglers. A punk ethos runs through the band. Australian music magazine Blunt claimed The Go Set could be likened to imagining ‘the political sentiment and social conscience of Billy Bragg or early Midnight Oil whilst drinking copious amounts and jamming with The Pogues and AC/DC, in a sweaty pub gig on a Friday night’.
