Banner Pilot
Nick – Vocals & Guitar Nate – Bass & Vocals Corey – Guitar Danny – Drums
Remember Banner Pilot? Sure you do. They’re a quartet of beer swilling, bookworm punks from Minneapolis who play the kind of gritty pop-punk that seems so synonymous with the Midwest. Two years ago they dropped Collapser, their second full length on Fat Wreck Chords, which was so beloved that it even appeared on Punknews.org’s best of 2009 list. They did a few tours and then kind of stopped. In their absence, the beard-and-flannel set, often seen in shitty dives drinking PBR and squeezing in yet-one-more slice of pizza, began to get antsy and then finally, they started complaining. “Where the fuck is Banner Pilot?” they could be heard asking all the other touring Fat Wreck bands, over and over and over and over again. This shit, I’m told, got pretty old after a while. Well, the bands and beardos alike can all stop bitching because finally, Banner Pilot is back with Heart Beats Pacific, their newest full length on Fat Wreck Chords, due out on October 25th and they’re going to be touring extensively on it too, so strap on your spare liver and poke some new fat-boy notches in your belt, because this shit’s about to get real messy.
