Armstrong

Bio
Armstrong is a Portland based alternative/space rock band formed in 2006. Drawing from varied influences, including bands like Failure, Hum, Riddle of Steel, Helmet, Smashing Pumpkins and others, Armstrong has a unique sound in the Portland scene. Armstrong formed in 2006, after a previous incarnation of the band (called Tannhauser) folded without playing a show. The band (then called Tannhauser) changed it's name to Armstrong in reference to Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the moon. Debuting onstage live in 2008, they have played shows in Southern and Central Maine as well as New Hampshire (and an ill-fated booking in New London CT). Armstrong has shared stages with local acts including Pigboat, Spawn of Man, Murcielago, Jack Tar, Antiseptic, Apocryphonic, The Sober Dead, Thee Icepicks, Cryptic Overcast, Insurrection, Batshelter, Antikus, Zero Visibility, Arms Against A Sea, Hoboe, Bukura, Storys Told, and Red Cross Sky. The band released a self-produced EP in 2010 called The Science of Ways and is currently working on a new recording hopefully for release in the Fall of 2011.
