The Establishment

About Me

Myspace BackgroundsThe trio formed in 2004 and have gone on to ignite an interest in their substance throughout the city of Halifax and beyond. At times The Establishment might be considered dc punk in the vein of bands like fugazi, also incorporating elements of sludge rock and sometimes indie rock It all depends on the song or even the moment in the song. They are a rare breed, a band that tries to break the barriers between hardcore punk and indie rock.You can now purchase The Establishment's new split 7 inch by contacting us, Also we have a new full length record comming out soon which will be available at noyesrecords.com
