Began in 2002 with Brian, Ryan and Jake. Played our first show in November of that year and have been playing constantly since. Added Ricky after his stint in a Bewitched music video (seriously, he’s sitting on a boxcar playing banjo) in 03 to increase the sex appeal and released the Passion for Destruction e.p. (aprox. 500 made, all burned on my computer and printed at Kinkos.) Mark Unseen of A.D.D. records kindly signed our sorry assses to his label and we released Finding Freedom in Hopelessness in 04 to critical acclaim, charting at 12 on Billboard. It is currently in its second press. Did a couple tours with the likes of The Dregs from SLC, Cheap Sex, A Global Threat and the Unseen. 2006 will see the new Loss of Words cd, more touring, more shows and more good times. Career Soldiers decided to call it quits in 2009. Jake and Ricky have moved on to another band called Pass The Axe.| |
