Set It Off released

Set It Off was released on November 14, 2000. It was the group’s first indie label release. Though the sound of the album was distinct in its heavily hip-hop influenced nu metal, a few songs from the record (including “Puppet” and “Supafly”) impacted at both secular and Christian radio. The band toured it extensively across North America and ended up garnering much label attention by selling 85,000 copies of the indie release out of their van. The band also printed a limited edition, “pre-release” version of Set It Off sold only at their release party at The Gordon Best Theatre in Peterborough, Ontario for their local fans. TFK toured with Finger Eleven , Econoline Crush , Treble Charger , the Tea Party , Matthew Good Band , Gob , Sum 41 and others. Three Days Grace, which was a cover band at that time, was TFK’s regular support act. McNevan helped with recordings of Three Days Grace’s demo album. He is also featured on their song “This Movie” from this album. Around this same time, Dave Smith left the group, making McNevan the only original member. Smith was replaced with Myke Harrison, who parted ways about a year later. After Dave Smith’s departure, McNevan began writing all the guitar lines and the band has used a live guitar player instead of officially replacing him.
