SETTINGS has released 2 all digital EPs to date exclusively via Itunes — which by the way, have collectively sold over 30,000 singles. Summer of 2008 the band peformed on the Van’s Warped tour, winning an online contest by taking first place out of 15,000 unsigned bands. Immediately following, they made a video for 2008 internet hit “Creatures,” dark yet refined, very representative of the band. The video had major success at MTVu and received well over 100,000 internet spins .. viral web sites. In fall of 2008, the band was getting so much attention as an unsigned band that MTV’s TRL brought the band on to play live at their 1515 studios. With Donny’s first note immediately following a Jonas Brother’s premier video, there was no question that this would be a great look for the band. The attention only continued as they were asked to tape for MTV2’s Spankin new music week, which aired all throughout the month of December. In this particular appearance, the band performed their set as well as a masterfully crafted cover of Linkin Park’s hit single “Numb.” With an Alternative Press feature, Hot Topic merchandise adds, being asked to appear on a northeast Taste of Chaos date, all to add to the hype, needless to say, things really started to pick up. Jumping to December, end of last year — the band performed at Kevin Lyman and Ernie Ball’s end of year holiday party. Out of the 5 bands that performed they were unanimously voted to play on the Warped tour in 2009. What a way to close off 2008... As I watched the band’s most recent hometown show at the Town Ballroom, it became more than obvious that SETTINGS has something going on. SOLD OUT read the box office window... and this is only the beginning. With the Warped tour this summer and a brand new release on the horizon, it is clear where the band is headed. Could you believe this is just the beginning?

Sadly, they broke up December of 2009. They all decided to go their own seperate ways into the music industry. Who knows when who will pop up?

The lyrics of 'Do It Again' by Settings suggest a sexual encounter between two partners. The singer starts the song by telling their partner to be quiet and watch while they demonstrate their moves. The reference to 'electric flesh' and 'feeling the rush' suggests a physical and sexual connection between the two.
As the song progresses, the singer talks about taking their time to make sure they get it right while feeling each other up. The chorus sees the repetition of wanting to do it again, indicating that the singer is enjoying the encounter and wants more.
Towards the end of the song, the lyrics become more aggressive with references to tying up the partner and breaking them down. The final lyrics suggest a power play between the two partners with one gaining control over the other.
Overall, the song is an explicit depiction of a sexual encounter that is not afraid to use imagery and metaphors to convey the sensual experience.
