bump.

[Darren McLeod]

i've had this album for a couple months, waiting to be reviewed. i've just been so busy with other albums that i've barely had a chance to listen, much less write anything down.

Fans of the Larry Arms will love it, thats for sure.

[escapist]

Gooooooooood band.

[mumbles]

[X Out The Eyes]

definetily a great band. pass the poison is fantastic.

[AP_Punk]

Two punk thumbs up.

[Dre Okorley]

Ha, weird how this got resurrected at the same time I post an official Leatherface tribute thread. Must be something in the universe. Anyway, this band Banner Pilot is really good. And so is Off With Their Heads.

[AP_Punk]

Great minds think alike. :-D

lucky punk.

[AP_Punk]

sweet.

[AP_Punk]

We've been hard at work on LP2 and are planning on recording in the first couple three months of 2009 with Jacques who did OWTH's "From the Bottom". I think we'll have enough for 14 songs and we'll use 2 for a split 7" with a yet-to-be-determined sweet band and they'll both come out on some yet-to-be-determined label(s). Vinyl for Resignation Day should be out on Kiss of Death Records by Xmas and might just end up becoming the must-have gift of the season by my calculations.

[shit stroll]

awesome. hopefully this album will get the vinyl treatment.

[versus_god]

Already? Awesome news.

[AP_Punk]

has pass the poison been released on vinyl already?

[CellarGhosts]

So we'​re in the proce​ss of writi​ng the next album​.​ We'​ve got 10 or 11 songs​ now, at varyi​ng degre​es of compl​etion​,​ and i have one more that'​s basic​ally just a demo on my compu​ter with drum machi​ne drums​ and stuff​.​ We'​re hopin​g to recor​d in late Janua​ry or Febru​ary,​ but we'​ll see. The end resul​t will be 12 new songs​.​

So.​.​.​ this might​ be kind of lame,​ but i'm going​ to try posti​ng updat​es on the writi​ng and recor​ding proce​ss on one of those​ Twitt​er pages​.​ We'​ll see how it goes.​ If you have any inter​est,​ you can check​ it out here:​

and if you get a Twitt​er accou​nt you can "​follo​w"​ it.

Possi​bly kind of stupi​d,​ yeah.​ But let'​s try it! Expec​t an updat​e every​ few days;​ more as we get close​r to actua​lly recor​ding.​

that'​s all for now!

kind of similar to what was posted earlier. whatever.

[AP_Punk]

hmm. looking forward to hearing some new stuff. but i'm pretty content with resignation for now. it's so damn good.

oh well. go ahead and give me more music, banner pilot!

[shit stroll]

[AP_Punk]

So we're in the process of writing the next album. We've got 10 or 11 songs now, at varying degrees of completion, and i have one more that's basically just a demo on my computer with drum machine drums and stuff. We're hoping to record in late January or February, but we'll see. The end result will be 12 new songs.

:woot:

[CellarGhosts]

Awesome.

[Wobbie]

Can't wait!!

[Burn That Shit]

We're playing a show April 2nd at the Triple Rock with our friends Dear Landlord and Red Phone Dispatch. Since we're recording a new full length starting on April 16th, we figured it'd be a waste of time to to practice old songs. You know? So.... it'll be a practice/show! We're going to play nothing but new tunes

The other bands will be playing songs you know, so don't let us scare you away

Hmmmmm.

[AP_Punk]

nice. that'd be pretty rad to attend!

[shit stroll]

dear landlord have a full length coming out this year. i think.

[LendMeYourBrain]

that is good to hear

Banner Pilot Signs to Fat!

From the land of Dillinger Four comes Banner Pilot, a bunch of Midwestern boys that had us at “whoa-whoa”. They are set to record in their hometown of Minneapolis at Terrarium next week, and will put out the record on Fat come Fall. Check out some older tunes at their MySpace page. (http://www.myspace.com/bannerpilot), and their upcoming show dates right here. (http://www.fatwreck.com/tour/single_artist/95).

[CellarGhosts]

Cool.

[shit stroll]

wow, that is fucking shocking.

also, who is the girl in your avatar, chris?

[Burn That Shit]

Awesome news.

[AP_Punk]

whoa!

coolio

[CellarGhosts]

wow, that is fucking shocking.

also, who is the girl in your avatar, chris?
Hahah

And the girl in my avatar is actress Emilie De Ravin.

[SanePsychotic]

Good news.

[prefix-core]

Good news. Hopefully this means they'll be a bit more of a full-time band, touring and such now.

[Burn That Shit]

Just started off Day Two by shaving off my beard-- originally I wanted a bit of beardiness in this record but this morning I had second thoughts. Let's hope I made the right choice.

As for yesterday, it wasn't actually a full day-- we booked a half day for the sole purpose of getting sounds/tones/whatever down. See, usually what happens is you start the first day around noon by setting up the drums. This tends to take hours, and then you still have to pick out amps and set up mics and stuff, and before you know it you go "Ack! It's 6:00 and we haven't started recording yet!" You probably don't actually say the word "Ack" but you know what I mean. Either way, what tends to happen (for us at least) is that you then feel like you're behind and skimp on the getting-sounds stuff and rush right into recording. Days later when you're mixing you realize you should have spent more time upfront but then it's TOO LATE.

So, this time around we booked a half day devoted solely to setting up and getting things to sound good. I think this was a good call-- it was way more relaxed, we spent more time on stuff then we usually do, and things are sounding really good. Of course, it was sort of tedious in parts-- the vast majority of the time was spent on drums, and I know very little about drums so there were a lot of exchanges like:

"Which ride cymbal sounded better to you?"
"....is the ride cymbal the pingy thing?"
"Yeah"
"Well, i think they all sounded pretty good"

At the end of the day, though, the drums sounded pretty sweet-- I think we have a better snare sound than we usually get, too.

Also, the bass is sounding awesome-- I decided to use the studio Ampeg rather than my GK and we got something out of it that sounds pretty close to what my bass sounded like on the Off With Their Heads album. Kind of like..... a piano that's come to life and is growling at you, you know?

Such technical details are probably boring to read about I suppose. What else did we do? I felt like boxed wine for some reason so I bought some boxed wine and will get cracking on that later today. I'll report back on the flavor of it. I also bought a bag of Doritos called something like "Last Call Jalepeno Poppers", the bag full of neon lights and stuff. There was also one called, uh, "Midnight Tacos" or something. Are the Dorito people running out of ideas? I don't even like Doritos. It was an impulse buy as I stood in line. "You're a sucker" Nick said as I grabbed a bag. But here's the thing: based on the packaging they clearly want you to eat these new flavors late at night. But I'm not going to listen to their brain-washing advertising: I'm eating this shit today at around 3pm. Can't get me, Corporate Whores at Doritos. I do what the fuck I want.

Ok, I gotta go meet the rest of the guys for bagels now-- we're starting at noon today. The plan is to get 7 songs done on drums today. Think we'll do it?

Look for more interesting studio blogs than this one in the days to come, as we start actually recording music!

Banner Pilot just finished mixing their new record. Look for an early Fall release.

Nate from Banner Pilot's Re-Issue Wishlist on PastePunk. (http://www.pastepunk.com/site/?p=18814) Told you guys that the Crush were awesome! :-p

...He said assuming that the people posting here are the same as in the Punx thread. Haha.

[CellarGhosts]

The Crush? Never heard of 'em. ;-)

[prefix-core]

The Crush? Never heard of 'em. ;-)

:redcard: Jerk. Haha. :-)

[AP_Punk]

red 40!

[Burn That Shit]

We mastered it yesterday. Really excited for it to come out-- it's definitely the best thing we've done so far. I know every band always says that about their new record, even if their new record is a steaming pile of dog shit. I mean, do you ever hear a band say "Just finished the new record. It's not nearly as good as our old stuff. Kind of sucks, even. Catch us on tour"? Of course not.

But this time, we're totally telling the truth.

Look for it this fall!

-Nate

Wooo!

[AP_Punk]

hahaha. yes!

[AP_Punk]

collapser (http://www.punknews.org/article/34376)

[CellarGhosts]

Stoked. I'm down with that album artwork too.

[AP_Punk]

me too!

can't wait to hear this.

[prefix-core]

Totally had two windows open and inadvertantly posted about how stoked I was for this album in the "Up the Punx!" thread.

...And I'm sober. I swear, I post better drunk...

[CellarGhosts]

I thought you meant two literal windows open for a second. Haha. Maybe I'm drunk...

[prefix-core]

I thought you meant two literal windows open for a second. Haha. Maybe I'm drunk...

Haha. My windows are shut tight, son. Central air and Dear Landlord at full blast. And in your defense? If I was speaking literally it would be "Tabs." I'm too cool for windows, thanks to my iMac.

[CellarGhosts]

Haha. My windows are shut tight, son. Central air and Dear Landlord at full blast. And in your defense? If I was speaking literally it would be "Tabs." I'm too cool for windows, thanks to my iMac.
Haha see I'm used to "tabs" too. I didn't know you used an iMac though, pretty cool. I'm pretty fond of my Macbook. Even if it's battery has been acting pretty shitty lately.

That out of the way, Dear Landlord at full blast is the only way to play it. Haha. "A World That We Never Made" is easily my favorite song on that record and among my favorite songs of this year.

[CellarGhosts]

Yeah, agreed. Here's hoping the new album has a better production quality.

[AP_Punk]

i dig the new song!

[prefix-core]

Ditto! Aaaand the better production prayers have been answered. Hallelujah praise the guy!

[AP_Punk]

hahah. the first thing i noticed too.

:woot:

[SwiftSilentDead]

New song rocks!

[AP_Punk]

pre-order for Collapse is up at Fat!

[McIrish]

Thanks, Skeleton Key sounds good. Also, ordering the TBR buddle when available.

Stookkkeeeddd. Still play Resignation Day way too much.

[Heart-A-Tact]

I like the new album.

[shit stroll]

surprising, fat is usually better with leaks.

Yeah, but i think NoFX leaked about a week before. Compared to other labels their pretty good

[shit stroll]

[McIrish]

[Wobbie]

I've only heard the two songs Fat have put up. They sound great!! Can't wait to get this.

Same! Loving the new songs, pre-ordered from Fat, but will most likely cave and listen to the leak. God, I love this band...

soo it's out there already? :o

[AP_Punk]

ohman, this album is sooo good.

[shit stroll]

damn good punk album

Can't wait to listen to this sucker tonight. Stupid iPod sync issues with 8.2.1 disallowed me from loading it onto my iPod. SNARL!

[AP_Punk]

-ap punk

i agree with this post!

[Wobbie]

Oh man, i need to get in on this action.

[SwiftSilentDead]

New record is solid.

[CellarGhosts]

It's a good album for sure, but it's nothing new. I mean, I like Banner Pilot but I'd like to see them progress a little bit, you know? It's all good though. Collapser is still really sweet.

[LendMeYourBrain]

^ Agreed. Its just more banner pilot, although that is a good thing

[Wobbie]

Listening now. Sounds awesome so far!! :-d

I can't believe how many truly great albums have been released this year!

[Omnomnom]

Banner Pilot is fuckin' awesome.
Saw them at the Triple Rock once.

[Wobbie]

Thanks. I like food.

[Wobbie]

Food is good.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Surprised no one made a Descendents reference after that, haha.

[Wobbie]

Mine was meant to be a Descendents reference :-d

[SwiftSilentDead]

I always thought it was "I like food! Food tastes good!" Ah well, close enough. :-d

[Wobbie]

You're right, my friend :-d How could i forget those simple lyrics, haha. Oh well, the thought was there.

[seraph1214]

Listening to some of their songs on MySpace, and I'm really liking what I hear. Will definitely check them out further.

[McIrish]

The new album is really good. I think i might like it more than the new Broadway Calls. Which is saying alot.

[shit stroll]

"starting at the ending" reminds me of "lean on sheena" for some reason.

[AP_Punk]

from Kiss of Death:

pass the poison is coming out as a one sided 12" on Kiss Of Death. the vinyl is done and should be shipping to us soon, the covers have just started production. so it's gonna be a few.

woot!

[Wobbie]

I don't get one sided records. Just put songs on the other side! There's space.

[AP_Punk]

hahah yess, i agree!

i'm interested to see how it'll look

[SwiftSilentDead]

I love the new record now. I could listen to this all night.

[LV03]

took me waaaaay too long to finally check out this band. gonna head to their show on saturday to make up for lost time.

[Greg.Kushlan]

I deicided to pick up a copy of their new one when I was in Hot Topic today picking up the new PBC. I like it, reminds me alot of Dillinger Four.

[Chris Fallon]

Should FINALLY have a review by Sunday. Reminds me a lot of D4, too ... which does take a few creativity points away from the record, however, it's another solid & dependable release from Fat.

[AP_Punk]

:nod:

reminds me of jawbreaker and d4.

that's a good thing, i'd say

This review (http://www.punknews.org/review/8650) really hits the nail on the head as far as why Banner Pilot are more than just a D4/Lawrence Arms "knock-off."

[macabre]

That new record is so good

[Burn That Shit]

I like when "Write it Down" finishes in my library and then it goes to "Overwinter" and you see how much better the production truly was on this album.

[SwiftSilentDead]

I might actually like it more than Dream Homes. :-0

[kissofdeath]

these started shipping out today!!!

i love kiss of death records

[shit stroll]

these started shipping out today!!!
is the tampa punk house still around?

This album has been getting a bit of flack for the songs all sounding the same, and it they kinda do. But when their sound is this fucking awesome, i'm glad they all sound similar :-d Such a great album.

[prefix-core]

I wish this thread was called "Brand New Pilot." That way, it would get more traffic. And simultaneously aggravate people.


More importantly? Stoked to be seeing these guys twice in the same week! Massachusetts, then Gainesville. Whoo'ha!

[prefix-core]

Bump! Saw these guys last night and they killed it. And more importantly...

They're selling DHARMA INITIATIVE BEER coozies at their merch table! Apparently people aren't quite getting the joke, which is a bummer. But either way I picked up two and it felt good to be able to drink something from a LOST-inspired coozie. Just saying.

Also? I drunkenly told Nate that I really dug his book last night, and apparently he has a new one being published in another month or so. It will probably be available via the band themselves much like the last one.

[CellarGhosts]

That's so cool that they're fellow LOST fans haha. I also had no idea that Nate had a book out. Huh.

[AP_Punk]

BAM! (http://nategangelhoff.com/youidiotbook.htm)

i still haven't read it yet, too. haha. but i want to. somedayy.

That's so cool that they're fellow LOST fans haha. I also had no idea that Nate had a book out. Huh.

It's a compilation of his fanzine "You Idiot." Definitely some great writes in there. You can pick it up here (http://nategangelhoff.com/youidiotbook.htm).

I think my favorite chapter is the one devoted to preachy video games of the eighties. Anti-drug, pro-religion, he tackles it all! And it's all incredible. "Jesus & the Gang" begs to be played.

EDIT: Kurbie beats me to everything ever.

We are thrilled to work with Banner Pilot on the re-release of Resignation Day out Sept 14th! Jacques Wait (Soviettes, Off With Their Heads, Dear Landlord) remixed and remastered the12 original tracks and added two bonus songs that are out of print. Originally released on Go Kart records you can score Resignation Day digitally through them on Sept 14th and we’ll be handling the CD and vinyl

Take a peek at what Nate from Banner Pilot had to say:

When we originally recorded Resignation Day back in 2007, issues came up during the recording that left us with little time for mixing. As a result, the record didn’t sound too hot. This was kind of a drag ‘cuz we didn’t feel like we did the songs justice. But! Sometimes you get a second chance; sometimes you can take something that was subpar and make it right, like when that Jason Mraz guy covered Blitzkrieg Bop. In our case, we were able to get Jacques Wait (who we worked with on our last album Collapser) to take a look at the original tracks and take a stab at remixing them. What he came up with was awesome, sounding like a new album. Usually something billed as a ‘remix’ will cause you to say “Uh, I guess the guitars are…. warmer now?” or “Oh, that’s cool that the ride cymbal has more zing in that one part now. Glad I bought this again”, but in this case we’re talking about a dramatic difference. Plus we added two more songs that are out of print, re-did the layout, and even changed around the sequencing. It’s like a whole new experience, maaan.

So if you checked out the album the first time around and didn’t dig it, give it another chance. We think you’ll like it. It’s like that one fairy tale where the first bowl of porridge kind of sucks but the second one is perfect.

count me in for this re-issue!

Amazing band, amazing songs.
Nuff said. I'm surprised i didn't hear of the band till about 6 months ago :-|

count me in for this re-issue!

Sounds extremely promising--and to be frank--something that a lot of us were hoping for! Haha. As I recall there were more than a few discussion on AP about how the album had great songwriting but didn't sound very good. Well, BAM!

Now, if only Smoke Or Fire would do this for all of their Jericho material. Haha. Pretty sure they'd have to re-record it, but whatever...Also? If A.W.S. would do this for their Smackin' Isaiah stuff!

[prefix-core]

And they've begun recording! (http://bannerpilot.tumblr.com/) I like that Nate is a music nerd -- more bands should discuss this sort of thing. It's neat to see the "inside" of it all.

Also? I love that I posted a picture of an angry kinkajou a few months back.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Finally listened to the remastered version of Resignation Day. This is so good.

[AP_Punk]

resignation day re-release officially came out today! (http://www.fatwreck.com/news/)

"We’re stoked to get this release sounding the way we wanted it, and it feels like we’re finally able to do the songs justice. A few people who have heard it so far have said things like ‘I had no idea there was a lead in that part!’, and that’s cool to hear ’cuz we forgot some of that stuff was recorded, too!

Next up for us is Riot Fest and then a tour with our pals The Dopamines down to The Fest. Should be great. We’re working away on our next album and have about 7 songs that seem solid. Aiming to record next spring hopefully!"

[reissgoespunk]

It's insane how much of an improvement it is from the original. I can actually distinguish different notes now, haha!

[prefix-core]

Still haven't been able to listen to the remix/remaster. But I read this review (http://www.pastepunk.com/site/banner-pilot-resignation-day/) of the original at PastePunk and it made me laugh in a good way!

word! it's fun reading about how it's coming along. looking forward to hearing the new stuff.

[shit stroll]

So we have 11 songs that, while not done yet, are likely to end up on the next album. That means we need 1 more. For #12, I was going to try to write a song that sounds like Archers of Loaf meets Green Day. It probably won't work, but who knows? Any other mashups worth attempting? Sometimes it's a good method for getting a starting point. Like, maybe Creed Meets Spin Doctors ends up as great, unrelated song. - Nate.

[CellarGhosts]

I told him to do Mission of Burma meets Captain & Tenille hahaha

Banner Pilot are by far my favorite band. Can't wait for the new album.

[AP_Punk]

BP totally needs more love around here

[SanePsychotic]

Listening to Collapser. I keep forgetting about it.

[CellarGhosts]

BP totally needs more love around here
Damn, I guess everyone really HAS forgotten all about the oil spill. Tsk tsk, Kirbie.

[So-Crates]

Cant believe I waited so long to check this band out.Collapser sounds fantastic

[AP_Punk]

Damn, I guess everyone really HAS forgotten all about the oil spill. Tsk tsk, Kirbie.

darn those pesky sea creatures, hogging up all that oil!

[AP_Punk]

forgettors on dirty laundry (http://www.punknews.org/article/42153)

[AP_Punk]

sooo nate's got a new book coming out soon, huh (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11102072-hit-the-ground-stumbling)? im looking forward to that!

[kissofdeath]

Do want new musics! Especially if it sounds like a reverse crunch wrap supreme. Mmmm.

[AP_Punk]

useful info about the new album (http://bannerpilot.net/2011/07/useful-information-about-the-new-album/)

[prefix-core]

That's it. It's settled. I'm excited! Haha. His updates are always fun(ny). But this was a treat, haha. I like the Jawbreaker commentary.

[AP_Punk]

ditto! ultra stoked to hear their new material.

still need to pick up nate's new book someday too!

[shit stroll]

hell yes. best current pop punk band by far.

[SanePsychotic]

Number of songs that, in my opinion, sound like Jawbreaker: 1

Number of songs a random person in a suit and tie you stopped on the street would think sound like Jawbreaker if you played them Jawbreaker and then this album back to back: 11

That's why I love this band. Can't wait for the new album.

[Sugarnotch]
