Fat Wreck Chords

Banner Pilot is a young punk rock quartet from Minneapolis that formed in 2005 and used to jokingly describe their band as, “if Jawbreaker, The Lawrence Arms, and Alkaline Trio got in a knife fight and Jawbreaker won… but just barely.” Hell, that’s actually a pretty good description! But don’t listen to us, you can hear songs from previous recordings here. Check back soon because we’ll unveil the first MP3 off Collapser any day now. Get ready to mark your calendar because Collapser will be released on September 1st on CD and LP format and you can read just what went into making this recording right here. You can view our first ever post on welcoming Banner Pilot to the label and view the cover art for Collapser below!
