The band was formed by Nate Gangelhoff and Nick Johnson in 2005 following the dissolution of their previous band, Rivethead. The two self-released a demo the same year, garnering positive reviews from both Punknews [1] and Razorcake.[2] The following year they released the EP Pass the Poison and toured the East Coast, drawing the attention of Go-Kart Records.
In late 2007 and early 2008, the band recorded their Go-Kart Records debut full length, Resignation Day. Mike left the band to return to school and Corey was recruited as a replacement for their summer West Coast tour.
In April, 2009, Banner Pilot was signed to Fat Wreck Chords.[3] Their first album for the label, titled Collapser was released on September 1, 2009.[4] Shortly after they embarked on an East Coast tour in support of the album with labelmates Dead to Me and Teenage Bottlerocket that included an appearance at The Fest in Gainesville, Florida.
Fat Wreck Chords also released a remixed and remastered version of the band's first album, Resignation Day in 2010.
In April, 2010, the band did a European tour,[5] which included a stop at Groezrock, an annual music festival in Belgium.
In July, 2013, it was announced that the band had written 13 new songs and were working on a 14th for an upcoming album, which would feature 11 or 12 of the best songs. The group's next album, Souvenir, was eventually released in April 2014.
