Genre: horror punk/necro-viral thrash


Hailing from sunny Orlando, DISFUNCTION is a horror-punk and necro-viral thrash four-piece that has recently opened for The Misfits, Blitzkid, and Juicehead. They have been haunting the regional hardcore punk circuit with their energetic and interactive live shows for the past few years, and are now releasing their 11-song album, 'Monsters from a Different World … Creatures of a Different Breed' as the first release on their NECRO 21 label.

Initially morphing from a sponsored skateboarding team into a rudimentary hardcore punk band, DISFUNCTION went through several lineup changes and a slew of informal early demos before vocalist Josh and bassist Seth teamed up with percussionist prodigy Tiffany on drums as a minimalist power trio. Their horror themes and image already firmly in place, DISFUNCTION would soon find their complete sound with the addition of thrasher The Lance on guitar in late 2009 during the week of The Misfits' yearly Orlando show. One short year later, DISFUNCTION would be sharing the stage with their horror-punk heroes and playing in front of a very receptive 800+ crowd.

DISFUNCTION is not a dime-a-dozen Misfits tribute band, but the progenitors of their own sub-genre they dub “Necro-Viral Thrash”. While drawing from hardcore punk pioneers such as Bad Brains, DRI, and The Germs, DISFUNCTION has worked to add their own original mark to the horror-punk genre. Thrashy riffs with distorted bass and quick fills are peppered with growls, shrieks, and call/response vocals. Most songs are topped off with blazing solos or intricate guitar leads. Their explosive live performances have been known to stun newcomers as much as they engage longtime fans in sweaty spectacle. With the release of 'Monsters/Creatures', these “Horrorpunks in a 21st Century DISFUNCTION” have shown they learned to capture the spirit of their live shows on an album like lightning in a bottle.

A year and a half after solidifying the current lineup, DISFUNCTION is hard at work on their follow-up, which is anticipated to build on the direction of their recent release. Fans can keep up to date with live shows, videos, merchandise, and new releases at www.Horrorpunksin21.com .
