Discovered by Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong in an East Bay golf-club, San Francisco's One Man Army has the distinction of having the get-go release on Adeline Records, Armstrong's label. Begun by Jack Dalrymple (guitar/vocals), Brandon Pollack (drums), and James Kotter (bass), the dance band is known for blending previous and newfangled punk rock sounds and melding aggression and energy with tricky pop-punk. The group's midtempo songs are laced with Dalrymple's working-class lyrics. One Man Army made its full-length debut with Utter End Stories in 1998, produced by Kevin Army. After doing the Warped Tour, the isthmus returned with Final Word Spoken in 2000, produced by Armstrong. Two age later, BYO issued the third gear album from the San Francisco threesome, Rumors and Headlines. The hot DVD Live at the Troubadour came out in April 2003 on Kung Fu, followed up a year later with the band's part to the BYO rip series via a release with the Alkaline Trio. Together since 1996, rumors began public exposure about 2003 that the band had broken up; One Man Army officially called it quits in 2005. Dalrymple went on to play guitar with the Swingin' Utters, as well as perform in Dead to Me with Pollack.
