The Banner is an American hardcore punk band from Bloomfield, New Jersey.

The Banner broke up for a brief period in 2006, before reuniting with founding member Garrett DeFalco. The band released their third studio album, Frailty in 2008, which was recorded and produced at the Machine Shop studio in Hoboken, New Jersey and released on the Ferret Music label.

In late 2011, Born to Ruin was announced as the band's next release, to be released by American label, Melotov Records. The four songs comprising Born to Ruin: The Way is Shut were released throughout 2012 and 2013 and were compiled onto a cassette released in the fall of 2013.

The band released their fourth album, Greying, in 2014 and Only the Dead Know Jersey, a split with Old Wounds, in 2015. Both were released via Good Fight Music.
