Saetia was formed in 1997 in New York City and only existed until 1999. During two decades of inactivity, the band’s music took on a life of its own, cultivating a large international fanbase and is broadly acknowledged as massively influential in the DIY emo hardcore universe.

In 2016, the band released a double album discography via Secret Voice records. This project reignited the band’s interest in playing music, and six years later, in November of 2022, the band played 5 sold out shows in NYC and Philadelphia. The response was overwhelming, and the shows raised $31K for local charities defending trans rights and protecting abortion access.
