Pigeon Religion were an American punk-rock band formed in 2008 in Phoenix, Arizona.[1] Originally, the band consisted of William Watson on bass and vocals, Gary Anarchy on guitar and vocals and Jes Aurelius on drums. After a 2009 Summer West Coast Tour, Gary Anarchy quit the band and left Watson and Aurelius as the principal members, who continued to split all songwriting duties until the band broke up in 2010.

Live shows

Pigeon Religion live shows were notorious for their uncomfortable atmosphere, characterized by violence and excessively loud volume.[2] In their first year of existence, they performed over 100 live shows.[3] An article in the Phoenix New Times mentioned their blitzkrieg promotional tactics.[1]
