Somerset

We chat with Boston band, Somerset about their music, and UFO conspiracy whistle blower Bob Lazar.

We start with a short Bob Lazar segment accompanied by “Cardinal Sin,” the edgy single from Somerset’s newly-released self-titled debut album. Hailing from the Boston area, Somerset is an up-and-coming rock and roll band inspired by 70’s and 80’s progressive rock, and 2000’s alternative rock styles. They draw inspiration from a variety of artists including the Black Keys, the Allman Brothers.

From the transcript:

Bob Lazar is a famous whistle blower, or infamous depending on who you talk to. He claims that he was hired, allegedly, by the government in the late eighties to reverse engineer what we would call UFO’s at a secret site called S-4, allegedly near area 51. He claims he saw multiple alien craft, one of which he examined, and that ran on an anti-matter reactor powered by Element 115, an element which at the time had not yet been synthesized. Over a decade later, Element 115 appeared on the periodic table.

The band members tell us about their music-making process, and then share their ideas about Lazar and his claims to have back-engineered alien spacecraft for the United States government.

What I find interesting about how people would react to
knowing that there are aliens out there or among us is, I do
agree that there would be some sense of panic or chaos, but I
wonder where it would be directed because I think you could
direct it at the extraterrestrials or at the governments of the
world. And I wonder if is it both?
Band member Dave from Somerset
