WARSHIP is a rock band formed in Long Island in 2008. Former From Autumn to Ashes members Francis Mark (vocals, drums) and Rob Lauritsen (guitar, bass) formed the band following the From Autumn to Ashes' announced break up on June 9, 2008. Mark chose the name Warship, which came from an instance in 2007 when he was creating paintings on blank worship candles, and a friend questioned what he was doing. Mark replied with "making worship candles", however, the friend believed Mark was creating candles with actual warships depicted on them. Mark explains, "This led me to thinking about the relationship between the two. How discouraging it is when 'worship' begets 'warships.'"
Warship currently has two tracks entitled "Toil" and "Wounded Paw" available on their Myspace. The band has finished recording their debut release with producer Andrew Schneider in a New York studio. The disc, titled "Supply And Depend", is confirmed for release on Vagrant Records on November 4th, 2008. A tracklisting, album art, and information on the album can be viewed on the Vagrant Records website.
On 26 June, the band announced it's North American tour which would run from August 20 ( Orlando, FL) till September 14 (Philadelphia, PA ). WARSHIP will play with Reggie and the Full Effect with Francis Mark on Vocals,Rob Lauritsen on Guitar,Darren Simoes of The Bled on Bass, and friend Greg March on the Drums.
