{Discography}EPs
Baby You Don't Tripajaharda (2008): B♭2 - C5
Calm Before the Storm (2009): G♯2 - E♭5
Albums
Horrible Kids (2011): G♯2 - E♭5
Cinematics (2013): F♯2 - E5
Duality (2014): G2 - F5
Upside Down (2016): G♯2 - E♭5
Midnight (2019): G♯2 - G5
Elsewhere (2022): F2 - F♯5
Set It Off began by taking inspiration from fellow rockers All Time Low and Fall Out Boy, with juicy melodic riffs and sometimes overly long track titles. The prime example of this is their 2009 EP, Calm Before the Storm, where Cody incorporates Alex Gaskarth-like techniques and vocal runs, though not showcasing his lower register often. During 2010-2011, Cody moreover adds a crazed energy to his vocals similar to Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge-era Gerard Way, occasionally dropping insane screams and belts up to the fifth octave.
The band's two albums between 2013 and 2014 were when their sound, as well as Cody, formed their own unique characteristics, with his voice reaching mellow lows and having overall smooth edges, a balance between screamy and raspy. The latter is shown especially in Midnight and since, where Cody's lower range is much more developed and strong, sustaining strong notes in the second octave.
His presence live is also remarkable, executing energetic and charismatic movements with amazing vocal control. It's safe to say that, in the pop-punk/rock stage, Cody Carson's voice is one of the most versatile.
