About The Band

Blending British pop melodicism with the grit of the Pacific Northwest, Army Navy recalls the sound of great acts like The Posies and Teenage Fanclub crossed with emotional touches of the The Smiths. Former Pinwheel co-frontman Justin Kennedy has moved on from sharing vocal duties with Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie, Postal Service) to showcase his own pop sensibilities. With its lush harmonies and blankets of guitar fuzz, Army Navy has created something truly unique: a delicate balance between melancholy and joyful resignation. Known for an explosive live show, Army Navy performs regularly with artists as varied as Teenage Fanclub, Wolfmother, Spinto Band, The Like, and Arctic Monkeys. It was this reputation that compelled producer Mitchell Froom (Crowded House, Suzanne Vega) to offer up the keys to his home studio. With his help, Army Navy has created a breakout EP, a taut, infectious morsel that begs to be played again and again. If you missed the band at CMJ 2005 or SXSW 2006 or the songs on NBCs Num3ers, Showtimes Weeds, The WBs The Mountain, or Fox's pop-culture barometer 'The O.C.', you can still catch Army Navy on the latest Cornerstone player, not to mention tastemaker radio stations across the country. Army Navy has recently been added to rotation on KEXP (Seattle), WOXY (Cincinatti), Indie 103 (LA), Q101 (Chicago), and XMs Ethel, to name a few. Army Navy is currently finishing a new batch of songs with producer Steve McDonald (Redd Kross, Beck, Be Your Own Pet).
