Based in Calgary, Alberta, The Press Gang was formed in early 2007 with the intent making "The Heavy". The songs written were about observations, humour, and adversity. The band soon became addicted to the opening slot, and then as the material grew, so did the gigs. After a while, the band released a demo, and even a live album before their first full length release. "Demotronicus 2007" was released in the Fall of 2007, as well as "Warts & All : Live at The Stetson" which caught the priceless live show. The first full length album “The Press Gang” was released in early 2009. After a short trip into a blender and some various lineup changes, the much anticipated second album "Onward & Upward" was released in September of 2011.
