A Global Threat (AGT) was an American punk rock band, formed in Bangor, Maine in 1997.
The band's original members were Bryan Lothian, Brett Threat, Westie, and Tubby Tim.
Soon after, Mike Graves and Petrov Curtis joined the band (on drums and guitar respectively) and they began playing live shows in Boston and New York.
was later re-released as the band's first full-length LP on Step-1 Music, including new material as well as re-recorded songs from The Kids EP.
During this time, Johnny joined the band on rhythm guitar and AGT embarked on a tour of the U.S. East Coast and South.
Unfortunately, the band was involved in a three-car accident in Austin, Texas, forcing them to cancel the remaining dates of the tour.
In 2001, AGT carried on as a three-piece with Pete on bass, Mike on drums, and Bryan on guitar and vocals, playing a handful of shows in Massachusetts and New York City.
During this time, Bryan began playing guitar as Pete Curtis prepared to leave the band and move to L.A. Around this time, Pete Curtis and former member Gabe Crate, coincidentally also about to leave the Boston area, became involved in a violent altercation with one another at a party, during which Gabe called into question Pete's punk rock credibility, allegedly inspiring the lyrics for a future bonus track entitled "D.F."
In 2004–2005 AGT continued to play shows, toured the US with Casualties and then the Unseen and Career Soldiers, began work on new musical material and also searched for a new record label.
In winter 2007 they would tour southern California and Arizona with LCB, Monster Squad and Career Soldiers.
That summer tour would be their last, taking the stage for the final time at Welfare records in Haverhill MA.
