The Transit WarOrange Peal Records

Back in March 2006, The Transit War entered an Austin, Texas studio with the intention of creating their first full-length record. The outcome was 11 songs of intense energy and brutal honesty that surpassed even their own expectations. Leaving the comfort and safety of their native San Diego, the band (singer/guitarist Jim Hughes, singer/bassist Mike Frey, guitarist Jaime Solis, and drummer Brad Bohensky) soon began tracking the songs that would make up Miss Your Face on a steady diet of Tex-Mex and alcohol. The goal of the record was simple; embrace the vitality and passion that makes up The Transit War. Produced by Grammy nominee Joe Marlett (Relient K, Queens of the Stone Age, Fenix TX), Miss Your Face is the follow-up to the band?s 8-song debut ?Ah Discordia! which has sold over 6,000 copies to date. The Transit War has already toured with Fenix Tx, Home Grown, Van?s Warped Tour, Zolof the Rock & Roll Destroyer, River City High, The Panic Division and others. In fact, Will Salazar of Fenix Tx says of the band, \"The Transit War\'s ?Ah Discordia! Is one of the greatest indie albums ever; great songs, great production, great harmonies, great melodies, all in all just a great band.\" Other fans include the following: \"My favorite band to come out of San Diego in years! Amazing live show! I love it when bands have great records and then sound even better live. It\'s refreshing to hear a band that doesn\'t sound like any other band and doesn\'t sound like they are trying to fit a style. They?re just a great band playing great music.\" --Rick Savage (Yahoo! Music) \"The Transit War is a band that runs like a well oiled machine. Four parts come together in an explosion of energy with hooks that can?t be denied and a vibe that rivals with the best.? --Joe Marlett (Producer, Relient K, Fenix Tx) ?The Transit War creates a melodic masterpiece of pensive indie rock streaming from a place of both beauty and intensity. The band?s sound engulfs a moment of rawness and elegance that few bands achieve --Purevolume.com The Transit War?s Miss Your Face was released on October 3 2006 on Orange Peal Records/Koch.
