TOTAL CHAOSHailing from Pomona Valley, California, this hardcore punk band was formed in 1989 in response to the creeping commercialization of music. With their raw, passionate sound, and socially charged lyrics, Total Chaos has emerged as a powerful voice for the punk community, uniting fans across various subgenres. Lead vocalist Rob Chaos is also co-owner of SOS Records, which has released albums by classic punk bands like The Exploited, Vice Squad, Sham 69, Conflict, The Adicts and Abrasive Wheels, among many others. With help of Jay Lee from the band Resist and Exist, the band started organizations such as United Valley Punks, Orange County Peace Punks and Alternative Gathering Collective. Together, they put their social messages into action working with Food Not Bombs, helping open the Los Angeles Anarchist Center and supporting the Big Mountain Indian Reservation.
"….a perfect blend of information and just plain fun, making the album not only a hypersonic, overdriven blast of Casualties-esque distortion mixed with catchy choruses, but a touch of infotainment at the same time– Exclaim Magazine
"…you can hear the anger and the passion that drives this band." – Metal Rage Magazine
"It's snotty, fast, and in your face. It brings you back to the old times, where punk was shocking and used to create a movement."– The Punksite
NASALROD
Nasalrod is a frenetic, genre-bending, manic art-punk band that looks beyond the stylistic roots of punk rock while still managing to provide the sense of adventure and essential spirit that the genre originated from. Armed with their notoriously frantic live show, Nasalrod has shared stages with Mike Watt, Toys That K*ll, Torche, and Melt-Banana. Named after the bone in Screamin’ Jay’s nose, Nasalrod has found that originality and insanity can go hand in hand. Lead singer Chairman’s sneering, kooky yet soulful vocals soar over a sound that is simultaneously melodic, violent and convulsive. Spit Stix, guitarist Mustin Douch, and bassist Mandy Morgan (formerly of Recess Records band Berzerk) provide a sonic backdrop that is the twisted and theatrical heart of Nasalrod.
“The genre police will never close the case on Nasalrod. You can’t call them punk because you’d be selling them short. They don’t play noise rock because their songs have structure, even a dance-ability at times. You could almost call them a pop band, but they’re way too heavy and aggressive. They’re a band of musical masterminds that can’t be caught.”– Aris Wales, The Portland Mercury
