Brooklyn's dance-punk band Foreign Islands formed in spring of 2005 when vocalist Mark Ryan, who had been involved in the hardcore scene, joined forces with guitarist Dean Baltulonis. After attempts at a few projects, they recruited drummer Andy Action, bassist Johnny Mcauliffe, and guitarist James Gelini. The band's first show came in July 2005, after they'd been playing together for only a month. They self-released a debut EP that August. Foreign Islands' list of shows includes dates with Lady Sovereign, The Hold Steady, Les Savy Fav, The Like, and The Detachment Kit. The EP Restart Now! surfaced in February 2007. ~ Kenyon Hopkin, All Music Guide
