Marching Orders

Living Proof

Living Proof was branded 'The best Marching Orders release ever' by reviewers and featured songs that are still played regularly at live shows today. From 'Dog Eat Dog' to 'Spirit Of 84' to the drumless ballad 'Hand Of Fate' there was a wide range of song-writing on the album to appeal to all. While still rooted firmly in their Australian environment, the sound on this album moved more in the direction of classic punk and Oi! with influences from the likes of The Business and 4-Skins, a little US hardcore and even punk balladeer Billy Bragg. It was around this time that the band started to peak domestically with an appearance at the Pugs Day Out Festival in Sydney to rave reviews. There was talk of trying to go abroad and tour Europe and America again but unfortunately it wasn't to be. With members unable to travel and very little time to rehearse, the band instead ground to a halt unfortunately. After more than a decade since its release and long sold out, it is only now in 2024 that this album is getting the recognition it always deserved with some tracks pushing half a million plays on digital platforms. With Marching Orders back together again with a strong new line up and a successful European Tour in 2023, it is time for 'Living Proof' to be made available again on vinyl for all to hear. And with new songs recorded and plans for a new release in early 2025, Marching Orders is back! Limited pressing of 500 units world-wide with 400 Orange Vinyl + 100 Black Vinyl Co-released between Longshot Music (North America), Step-1 Music (UK/Europe) and Grudge Match Records (Australia) Marching Orders will be headlining the Still Out Of Order festival in Melbourne, Australia on November 9th, 2024 New album planned for release in 2025 FOR FANS OF LION'S LAW | WARRIOR KIDS | TEMPLARS | CAMERA SILENS | RIXE | BISHOPS GREEN | ULTRA SECT | GUIDA | BLITZ | VANILLA MUFFINS
