Marching Orders

Marching Orders was conceived in 2002. A 3 track demo was recorded, but the original lineup disbanded before playing live. After a years hiatus, the band was resurrected with Al on vocals being joined by Chris on drums, Ben on guitar and Ander on bass. After six months of songwriting and practice, the addition of Phil on lead guitar further solidified the bands musical direction.
This line up released the independent six track ‘Last Drinks’ EP in 2005 and in 2006 contributed two songs to a split 7” with Canada’s Alternate Action on Longshot records.

paper arms

Paper Arms have an honest, raw and mature take on punk rock roots. It is the culmination of over a decade in punk and hardcore bands, yet it’s never felt this good before. The band hit the studio in early January 2010, with legendary musician/producer Walter Schreifels, to record their debut full length album, 'Days Above Ground'. It's release marks a new chapter in the bands story, and one which is sure to be interesting.
