Marching Orders

Marching Orders was conceived in 2002. A 3 track demo was recorded, but the original lineup disbanded before playing live.

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.
