Extradition Order (band)

Extradition Order are a British band from Warrington, England, now based in London.

The band were originally made up of school friends from the North West of England; lyricist and guitarist Alastair Harper, keyboardist Matthew Bergin, bassist Nicholas Boardman and drummer Mark Davies. Mark Davies left for Colombia in 2009 and long-term drum lender and friend Radhika Aggarwal took the drum seat. Subsequently, long-time Paul Hawkins collaborator Jeremy Walton joined after a string of substitute appearances resulted in his formal ascension into the band's ranks.

Having previously released several homemade EPs, their debut single "Penetrate" came out on I blame the parents, on 8 June 2008.[1] Their debut album Since The Bomb Dropped was released 28 September 2009.[2] Both single and album were produced by Ian Button.

They released their eight-track double EP "Our Thoughts on Failure" and "Our Thoughts on Revenge" on limited edition 12-inch vinyl and download in June 2012 on hlp19.[3] On 17 June 2012, The Sunday Times named single "Canoe" Hottest Download of the week.[4]

They have played with Jeffrey Lewis, Darwin Deez, Paul Hawkins & The Awkward Silences, David Cronenberg's Wife and Benjamin Shaw.

The band are currently preparing for the release of their second album; a concept album focused on the Kennedy dynasty. Their musical output is complemented by a series of music videos,[5] both self-produced and filmed by others, that are available on popular video-hosting sites.
