Officer Down

Officer Down formed in February 2005 following the split of all other previous bands!! Locked in a room for an entire year the then line-up Gammon - Vocals/Guitars, Will - Vocals/Drums, Alistair - Guitars/Vocals and Loz Bass/Vocals wrote a whole set which was to later be the first album 'Led By Lies', This was recorded / released in late 2006 by EHC Records. After playing a few gigs a mini tour of Ireland with The Lobotomies was set up, this would see the departure of Loz (Bass). A Replacement was quickly found in Shay (EHC Records/The Cunts) to step in on Bass duties and the tour was completed successfully. The line-up was now stronger than ever and in full throttle!!
The new line-up took a trip to The Waiting Room Studios in Worcester and recorded 3 new tracks with producer Jim Turner, 'Time To Break Your Fall' from this CD was played numerous times on Mike Davies' Radio 1 Punk Show. October 2007 saw us in the studio again, this time to record tracks for a compilation CD on Skwert (Choking Victim / INDK) record label Tent City Records (USA).
In 2008 after completing a UK Tour in January, A Tour of Belgium, Holland & Luxembourg in March and in between playing most weekends including City Invasion and the Rebellion festival in blackpool, with bands such as Agnostic Front and US Bombs to name a few we have become a much stronger band! later in the year we were blessed with the oppertunity to support "as friends rust" and one of our strongest influences "strike anywhere", this lead to a series of great shows through the rest of '08
2009 was another good year with lots of awesome shows including another great set at rebellion festival and some great shows with leftover crack and many others.
2010 is underway and officer down has a busy year ahead with the launch of the "what it takes" ep on itunes, the launch of the 7" split vinyl release with the infested, and closely followed by the launch of the long awaited album!!!!
After the release of the 'What It Takes' EP saw the depature of Drummer Will, who was quickly replaced by Alex Harley.
We are now in the process of practicing and writing new songs for our upcoming album and should be ready to gig again in the coming months!
