They released their self titled debut EP on Indie Irish label ElevenEleven in August 2011. 2. Alarmist formed in Portland, Oregon and were active from 2003 to 2005. Their deconstructed Art-punk basement party jams were informed as much by brains riddled with MDMA and suits with real dollar bills pinned to them as they were by Black Flag, The Birthday Party and U.S Maple.

The band broke up after their only U.S tour, but all four members remain active in the projects Gh
