THE LOYAL ORDER

The Loyal Order first hatched as a studio project several years ago when Jeff Buehner was approached to write a theme song for a regional outdoor hunting reality show. He reached out to guitarist Brandon Cook for a heavy riff, and the result was a song called Off the Grid (Superhuman). It aired regionally in the Pacific NW for two seasons.

A bass player by trade, singing is a new beginning for Jeff. The songs were originally crafted with a different singer in mind, but after laying scratch tracks for the first few songs, the producer (Kevin Hahn) thought he should lay the final tracks himself.

From this songwriting partnership between Buehner and Cook, the songs began to flow. They soon approached Producer Rob Daiker at The Commune in Portland, Oregon, who has crafted major label releases with Slowrush, The Dan Reed Network, and Royal Bliss.

Rounding out the band is Patrick Young (bass) , Justin Gibson (guitars), and Kyle Baltus on the drums; all prominent Pacific NW rock players that have made names for themselves locally and nationally.

A chance meeting with Thom Hazaert at a Megadeth listening party in Los Angeles birthed an interest in the band., and soon their first album was released on EMP Label Group. Executive producers David Ellefson (Megadeth) and industry veteran Thom Hazaert guided the band through the pandemic and landed three top 40 positions on the SMR charts.

The band’s first show with Puddle of Mud at the Bossa Nova Ballroom in Portland, Oregon was sold out, followed by performances with Sebastian Bach, Powerman 5000, The Texas Hippie Coalition, and Geoff Tate. A festival event then found them sharing the stage with bands like ZZTop, Everclear, Hinder and Night Ranger.

The Loyal Order is currently back in the studio recording its next body of work, and excited to drop its first release with Golden Robot Records.
