Marching Orders is an Australian street punk/Oi! band known for their potent blend of catchy melodies and politically charged lyrics. Originating from Melbourne, Victoria, they began making their mark on the punk scene with their early releases in the 2000s. Over the years, they have crafted a sound that resonates with the working-class ethos, combining the raw energy of punk with the anthemic choruses typical of Oi! music. Their powerful vocals and driving guitar riffs speak to the struggles and camaraderie of everyday life, earning them a dedicated following within the punk community.

Throughout their career, Marching Orders have consistently built a solid discography that both upholds and challenges the traditions of their genre. Their 2002 release, "Brothers in Arms," set the tone for the band's approach to music: unapologetically honest and unyielding. With subsequent albums like "Living Proof" and "Nothing New," they continued to chronicle the experiences of the common person facing the highs and lows of modern society. The band's more recent works, including "Days Gone By," "Nation of Ghosts," "Last Train Home," and "Dead End Street," released from 2002 to 2020, showcase a maturity in their songwriting while maintaining the fiery spirit that has defined Marching Orders since their inception. Their music remains a clarion call for unity and resistance against social injustices, firmly establishing them as a mainstay in the punk community.
