Out of Order was formed in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 2001, they landed their first gig in Halifax's seediest and most infamous punk dives, Hell. Over the next several years, the band jammed and slugged out a few impromptu shows in Halifax.

After founding members moved to Montreal, they played their first gig in the new city at L'Hemisphere Gauche in 2006. Over the next couple years, the first Out of Order demos were released and a full length album was pumped out. Recorded in the bowels of St. Henri's Fattal building, the album entitled simply "Out Of Order" was a raw and vicious sounding record in the spirit of the true D.I.Y ethic.

The band began touring around Canada in late 2008 smashing out show after show all over Quebec, Ontario and the East Coast of Canada.

In the summer of 2009, the band went into the Studio to record “Written on the Walls”, a 14 track album which was released later in 2010 by the band themselves. However, during the 2012 Pouzza Fest, a riot prevented Out of Order from taking the stage which signalled the end of the band as it was.

In 2013, Out of Order found itself not only back but stronger than ever. Joel Bellemare's technical rock-and-roll leads and solos are fortified with the blitz of bassist David Wilton’s rhythm lines, strengthened further by Mickey Barrels steady rythum gituar. Vocalist, Scott Maracle's guttural vocals still constantly season the whole mix, while drummer Andy Stomper brings up the rear with a fast paced thumping and peppered beats on the drums. Together, Out of Order aims to redefine what it means to be a rocker. They spent a year and a half in the studio recording their album “Better Days” which was be released in July 2014. The band embarked on a tour of the Midwestern and Eastern USA and Europe in the summer of 2013, 2014 and 2015 followed by a massive North American tour in 2016. They released their album, "Stuck in the Mud" in 2017 on Randale Records. That same year they ventured to England where they began recording “Life Sentence”, which was eventually released in 2020. A split 7” with their friends Bats Out preceded the release of Life Sentence in 2020. They a have delivered an all new album, “Under the Knife” in 2023 and are currently writing and recording their 6th studio album. Between the stage antics which have often left Scott bruised and bloody after shows and the fire of five dedicated musicians ready to make any crowd get their riot on. Out of Order is a band you don’t want to miss
