There are 2 bands that share the name Disarray. A thrash metal band from Tennessee and a punk band from Japan. 1) In early 1993, Chuck Bonnett assembled the first prototype of Disarray from the local musicians he had grown up and attended school with as a youth in Dickson, Tennessee. His work ethic and drive to do something enduring quickly weeded out the weekenders and hobbyists, and he set to work in earnest that fall.
1) In early 1993, Chuck Bonnett assembled the first prototype of Disarray from the local musicians he had grown up and attended school with as a youth in Dickson, Tennessee. His work ethic and drive to do something enduring quickly weeded out the weekenders and hobbyists, and he set to work in earnest that fall. He adjusted lineups, wrote songs, booked shows, and made mistakes, but he kept going. That tenacity and single-minded purpose would be the principle that would sustain his vision for nearly two decades.
From the beginning, Bonnett recognized that no ?big break? would be forthcoming, and that anything the band needed would come from its own efforts, or not at all. It was this do-it-yourself mentality that drove the band to record its first two studio offerings ? 1995's Widespread Human Disaster and the follow-up, Bleed, which came a year later ? with no support or backing whatsoever. Their relentless self-promotion eventually caught the attention of Chris Poland of Eclipse Records ? the indy label which vaulted Mushroomhead and Bobaflex into prominence ? and the band signed a deal with them which provided them a much wider audience.
The next three albums the trio would release ? 1999's A Lesson In Respect; 2002's In The Face Of The Enemy, produced by Dave ?Oderus Urungus? Brockie of GWAR; and 2007's Edge Of My Demise, produced by Gary Meskil of Pro-Pain ? set new benchmarks for the band's production and songcraft. The releases also garnered critical acclaim from numerous online and print publications, such as Hit Parader, Revolver, and BW&BK. At the same time, an ambitious tour schedule with numerous national acts, coupled with extensive radio play, put Disarray's music in reach of multitudes of metal fans.
The band - comprised of Bonnett, bassist/vocalist Vance Wright, and drummer Keith Feulner - is currently playing an abbreviated schedule of regional shows to support the latest release
