Reset is a Canadian punk rock band formed in 1993 in Montreal, Quebec. The band was originally founded by Pierre Bouvier and Chuck Comeau when they were just 13 years old. Originally known as Roach, they changed their name to Reset after discovering another Canadian band already used that moniker.

Comeau left in 1998 to pursue his studies, followed by Bouvier in 1999; the two eventually reunited to form the band Simple Plan. David Desrosiers, who replaced Bouvier in Reset, also left shortly after to join them. Philippe Jolicoeur has remained the sole consistent member and frontman since the band's inception.
