"A Mammoth Task" is the brain-child of Logan Huber of Antioch, Illinois. It began in 2008 while the eleven year old was writing songs for a full length album. In 2010, he began looking for musicians for his new band “This Is Noise” and recruited cousin and bass player Chris Fleming. After several name changes, 15 songs were written under the new name “A Mammoth Task." The album, “Let’s Break Their Arms” is a stripped down, bare bones punk rock album with a certain individuality that sets it apart from other “run of the mill” punk bands although “Let's Break Their Arms” is just the tip of a mammoth iceberg for these punkers. 2013 & 2014 brought a more complex and sophisticated side of this seemingly straightforward, no frills band. Their new material has been classified anywhere from "Jazzy", "Catchy", to "all over the place experimental"
After Let's Break Their Arms was released on February 14, 2013, A Mammoth Task didn't waste any time recording and releasing the lo-fi follow up, Let's Break Their Legs [E.P.] on April 22nd. They continued playing shows in support of their first two releases, welcoming music newcomer Camera Foster behind the drum kit. On August 5th, 2013, they released the live album "Let's Break Their Hearts - Live At Swing State" two days after the show on August 3rd. Shortly after the release of Let's Break Their Hearts, they took a hiatus from performing to begin recording their follow up LP "Free Thinkers Are Dangerous" which was released on Halloween of 2013. The record was well received by fans and critics alike, showing a new side to Huber's writing ability.
After a string of larger shows in support of Free Thinkers Are Dangerous through the end of 2013 into 2014 (including performances at Reggies in Chicago, and Another Hole In the Wall in Steger as well as the release of the jazz/math/punk instrumental E.P. "Can of Worms"), A Mammoth Task once again went into hiding to begin work on their most ambitious release to date. The full length "Friends Are For Losers" is a drastic evolution from every A Mammoth Task release that has come before it and is currently in the final phases of recording and production (release is set for early 2015). Throughout 2015 and beyond, they plan to expand their live territory with a slew of shows across the region in support of Friends Are For Losers.
