Army of Freshmen is an American rock band formed in Ventura, California in 1997. They have performed over 1,500 shows in 13 countries and 43 US states. The band have released three albums and four singles since their first release in 2001. They have also signed with multiple record companies, including Blue Hand Records and 33rd Street Records.
During time on tour, the band was introduced to Bowling for Soup, and both bands later became the co-creators of the Get Happy Tour that launched in 2006.
Due to the 2008 financial crisis, the band suffered with finding a record label that would sign them. However, they took matters into their own hands with seeking additional crowd funded projects including acoustic EPs, writing and film production.
