About the Album: Self-titled album from New Jersey based punk rockers. Some background – Banquets were named after Coors Original “Banquet” beer. The title of the band’s debut 7-inch, This Is Our Concern, Dude. is a definite Lebowski reference. Their tongue in cheek sense of humor pervades their music, as does their impressive ear and melodic, catchy songwriting. Banquets lead singer Travis Omilian was the original singer for Let Me Run and other members have played in bands including Static Radio NJ, The Stand In and The Banner… e.g. this group is mightily seasoned. This is the follow up to their album Top Button, Bottom Shelf released in 2011. The group has a small but dedicated following and will be touring this summer on the Eastern seaboard and through parts of Canada promoting this album.
Track Spotlight: “Fade From Gold” is a classic punk anthem and will have listeners cheering and shouting along.
