On Trial started in January/February of 2007 with Ben and Wes. The first two songs written were Friend or Foe and Unionize. They went about one year without a bass player until it dawned on them to just teach Sarah, Wes' girlfriend at the time, to learn bass since she was at every band practice anyway. They played three shows with Sarah and she ended up being their first official bass player. The band finished their first full length titled "Thirty Years Too Late" referring to how their vintage sound could have fit in well with other late '70s and early '80s Oi! bands. Shortly after the release of their CD, they released their first E.P. titled "Underage & Full of Rage." This title referred to how they were all under 21 at the time and how they got picked off by the cops while drinking and driving. About 6 months passed and Sarah moved to Pittsburgh and left the band and then later joined the military. Ben and Wes were once again out of luck with a bass player. There were a few tryouts but nothing really stuck. They couldn't find anyone as influenced by early British Oi! as them and so they just pressed on without a bassist. A year and a half went by without any shows or a bassist until they considered letting Zach try out. Zach tried out and he became On Trial's new bassist. Since then they've been working on a new full length which should be out in February of 2009. They are still looking for venues and bands to play with regularly. If anyone is interested, message us.
