| The history of DISARRAY began in early 1993, when founding member Chuck Bonnett put together the first working lineup of DISARRAY and began writing material. The band took the underground by storm, releasing its first independent album, Widespread Human Disaster, in 1995. Not content to spend years languishing in Nashville waiting for a “break” that might never come, Bonnett adopted the punk rock work ethic of trading CDs, utilizing fanzine press, and self-booking tours. "We knew from the beginning that the industry would not take us seriously because we were from Nashville, so I chose to do as much as I could myself." By 1996 the band had toured across the country multiple times and had released its second studio recording, Bleed. More relentless touring followed, and the band continued their grass roots approach to promoting themselves, despite being virtually ignored by the recording industry. Something finally did happen in 1999 when the band was signed to the fledging New Jersey based indie label Eclipse Records, most notable for launching the hard rock band Mushroomhead into prominence. DISARRAY recorded two full-length albums for the label, A Lesson In Respect in 1999 and the hard-hitting In the Face Of The Enemy in 2002. The latter of the two, produced by Dave Brockie of the masked supergroup GWAR, helped to lift the band out of underground obscurity, and into the much-deserved spotlight. Tours with GWAR, Biohazard, Clutch, and Crowbar put them in front of target audiences from coast to coast. Mainstream radio and press embraced the album as well. Among the many notable newsstand publications, Hit Parader raved on the release, saying it featured “a slew of memorable songs, first-rate musicianship, and enough power to light up Pittsburgh for a week.” |
