Disorder (band)

Disorder were a Hardcore punk band that started in the Bristol area of the United Kingdom in the early 1980s. They were part of the protest punk movement. The BBC DJ John Peel described their early singles as sounding like "shit". The band has gone through numerous line-up changes in almost 30 years but rumors of their demise have always been premature. The longest standing member of the band Taf (bassist/guitarist) normally assembles other musicians to record albums or go on tour. Recent tours have seen the band perform with the line-up consisting of Taffy and 3 former members of Oi Polloi (Goz Hayter, Yaga Crawford and Chris Wheelie) performing Disorder and Dolly Parton songs.
