THE DEFICIT

The Deficit started in February of 2003 under the name Ziggy and the Love Darts as a self-confessed “Anti-Flag meets Bouncing Souls.”  During this period, the band’s writing was very simple, taking cues from bands such as Rancid, The Casualties, and Pennywise. After several member changes and additions, the band recorded several demos and live sets to spread the word.  At first, they booked their own shows in basements and banquet halls, but they soon moved on to playing local clubs with other local bands.

After losing both their lead guitarist and drummer in 2005, the band considered quitting. However, after discussion with friends and family, the band decided to continue on, eventually finding the members that would become the band in their current state. Coincidentally, the four members’ influences all began to show through in the writing process, and we find the band in a musical state almost all their own. Combining elements of hardcore, traditional punk, and even metal at times, the band brings a very eclectic sound to the table.

Currently, the band is supporting their first official release from Warbird Entertainment, 2007’s split with Stage Disaster.
