Their raucus and relentless songs mix punk and out-of-control rock 'n' roll with glam to produce an album that sounds like Backyard Babies, Guns 'n' Roses, Turbonegro and The Misfits in a knife fight. If you wish rock bands still sounded dangerous then Disarm are the band you've been waiting for - BigCheese Magazine.Irresistably charming, scuzzy, riotous noise - Kerrang! KKKKIf you can dismiss this, youre way stronger than we - RockSound MagazinePryon formed late 2007 to deliver a fresh dose of death metalinsanity to Aberdeens music scene. They tip their creative hatto unheard cries, political conflict and religious tyranny.Fancy some thrash/metalcore? Thought you might. So herecome Dividing The Silence for their first Moorings show.They like Trivium, Slayer, Killswitch Engage, 36 Crazyfists, etc..... Hey! Did that singer really just introduce a song entitledWheres My Fucking Tea? Yes, yes he did. That would beWifebeater. Their chosen genre? DomesticPowerViolence.

The Ghost Of Fudge Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 let's see what The Sheffield Star makes of Disarm... ** SHEFFIELD STAR FEATURE ** In from the sticksPublished Date: 08 August 2008 By David DunnIT has to be said Mexborough metal merchants Disarm caused a smidgen of confusion among some by naming their first long-player By Any Means Necessary.It carried the same moniker as a defining five-track EP a few years ago, which you might claim lacks imagination.But singer/guitarist Brad Andrews is making no excuses. "We had tons of different names for the album but none seemed to sum up all we've put in to getting it recorded and released," he says."By Any Means Necessary just sums it up perfectly so we stuck with that."And just as well. Recorded with Matt Elliss at Doncaster's Axis Studios, this loud, melodic, wilful, occasionally snarling rock-punk cage fight of a record has been drawing positive reviews from the right places re-assuring after living within the album bubble for so long."Ever since we finished it off, probably even during recording, I've always thought 'What are people going to make of it' and the good stuff we've had said has been amazing really."Even if we have had anything negative written it's been someone who just doesn't 'get it'. Like they don't understand bands can still make straight-up, heavy rock 'n' roll records. I can live with criticism if it's justified but it does my head in when someone hasn't a clue or are just lazy."We just do what we do and always have done. We did initially get lumped in some daft '80s hair metal revival but we wanted nothing to do at all with that so we ended up becoming even faster and heavier. I wouldn't want to be complacent sitting in a stale scene doing what everyone else does."While Sheffield enjoyed its time back in the spotlight courtesy of Arctic Monkeys and others, living outside the city means you sometimes get over-looked. So Disarm have done what any ambitious band should do and toured their backsides off.Brad, for one, believes having Mexborough as their hometown may have played a part in their music."It probably does, more than we've realised. Because we're in a town that isn't really part of anywhere as such we haven't been part of a 'scene' so have just done what we've felt like."I don't think there are many bands we 'sound' like it's a real mix of stuff. It seems to frustrate people trying to categorise us; we're too heavy for some but not heavy enough for some."We have had some reviews where they've been shocked and stunned we're from Yorkshire, like we should be down the pit earning a crust to buy flat-caps and black pudding for our whippets. Strange."That Disarm have shrugged off indifference, ignorance and all the other stuff that comes of putting yourself in the line of fire could well pay dividends. While the country's economy goes down the toilet at least rock continues to enjoy a renaissance something not lost on Brad and the boys."It could be people getting sick and tired of manufactured rubbish, some kind of nostalgia, or just that people are getting much more varied tastes," he says."I did hear someone mention their daughter and all her friends were in to R&B. They then started playing Guitar Hero and now they walk around with back-combed hair wearing Mtley Cre t-shirts. I dunno, people are weird."And while that's happening the likes of Disarm can surely clean-up. Even with the upheaval in the British music industry. "The music biz is not going through tough times."The only thing happening is big record companies are miffed because with the advent of digital music they don't have such a strangle- hold over the industry and can't control it like they used to. I couldn't care less; they've abused the situation long enough so they can live with the consequences."Music is now cheaper to produce and distribute so bands don't need them anymore independent labels are the way to go for the future."I wouldn't say we are 'part' of it anyways and we definitely don't need to justify ourselves to anyone. We've always been outsiders and that's the way I like it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their single-mindedness is breathtaking, their music stripped of thepretension that mars so much rock." - The SkinnyReckless Life are a four-piece sleazey rock n roll hellride from Malt Whisky County, Scotland! They have the big sound and an attitude to match it! So wake up and smell the piss stained sheets, this new wave of Scottish Sleaze is here to stay! they contend.
