Created to play a fluke gig in August of 2004, Steel Battalion have since become one of Northern New Jersey's hot new emerging bands. Originally made up of High School buddies Rob Janos, Brian Cho, Jesse Gold, and Andrew Marra, and has since expanded to include Pitt Clemens on Bass and Lapsteel Guitar.
Playing a mixture of songs with roots in simple down-and-dirty rock and roll from the likes of Bruce Springsteen and the Who; the screaming blues of Led Zeppelin and Cream; with a modern edge akin to The White Stripes and Nirvana, Steel Battalion are almost impossible to be classified into a single musical category, with over half a dozen styles of music covered.
In August of 2007, Steel Battalion embarked on a mini-tour with a three-piece band from the U.K., The Murderhouse who joined the band for their first American shows, and was very well-received by fans and promoters alike.
As of winter 2008, the band is taking a short break from touring to complete recording of their first, full-length LP with the talented producer Chris Sulit at Moonskull studios. Entitled Joker's Paradise, it is due to be released sometime in the Spring.
