Platoon 1107 is an American patriotic punk rock music band that primarily plays Heavy metal music influenced hardcore punk and skate punk, and at times crossover. This project was started in California in 2012 by a United States Marine Corps veteran, Jimmy Sisco, who writes and plays all the instruments on their recordings. The project's first two releases, with Thumper Punk Records and Veritas Vinyl, We Glory in the Title (a studio album), and an extended play, Live Free or Die, were released on the same day in 2012. The second extended play, Marine Forever...Forever Marine, was first self-released in December 2013. The project did a split-EP, with The Cants earlier the same year. In late 2016 the band issued four EP's in 5 weeks via Thumper Punk Records: The Tourettes EP, The Straight Edge EP, Marine Forever...Forever Marine, and the Alive I live album, which was recorded at Angel City in Bellflower, California in 2014.
