About Me


So the new record is finally here, f yea!
Our favorite Canadians are streaming it here for your listening pleasure...
It's only on CD now, but it'll be on Itunes shortly and vinyl in the next few months. Look for a limited edition vinyl version of Pass the Poison too in the near future.
So you want a copy of the LP?? Nice, I like your taste in music!
In Minneapolis: Visit the friendly people at Extreme Noise or Treehouse.
Not in Minneapolis: Interpunk, Smartpunk, and RevHQ have it.
Oh, you don't trust any of those places??
Alright, I'll send you a copy but only 'cause I like you. Can I tempt you with a stylish new t-shirt or Nate's hil-freaking-larious new book? What if I told you I just found some old stickers and zines I'll throw in with orders? Yeah? Cool. Oh and just so you don't get your hopes up, the free crayon promotion is way expired - sorry to break your heart but we need to move on.
The CD by itself for $10
The shirt plus the CD for $20
(e-mail us at bannerpilot @ gmail with your size and color preference: light blue or Irish green)
The book plus the CD for $20
All three things for $28
And now for some Bio shit... Banner Pilot is a punk band from sunny Minneapolis, MN. What do we sound like? Well, imagine if Jawbreaker, Lawrence Arms and Alkaline Trio got in a knife fight and Jawbreaker won - but just barely. That's what we sound like. Does that even make sense? Probably not.
Nick and Nate used to play in Rivethead. Nate also plays in Off With Their Heads and Gateway District and used to play in Pyongyang Metro with Mike. Danny used to play in These Riffs and Cave Deaths. Cory also plays in the Manix. We've all had illustrious careers.
