Album Reviews for 'By Any Means Necessary'
Four Stars (out of 5)
Big Cheese Magazine - 'Mexborough in South Yorkshire may not be rock n roll central but nobody told
this strutting four piece. 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. Songs like 'Bark. Bite. Scream' are bursting with attitude and energy
and the Mighty 'She's my Disease' is a riff monster. If you wish rock bands
still sounded dangerous then Disarm are the band you've been waiting for.'
Komodo Rock. 8.8 out of 10 - Disarm scream out of the gates with their debut album 'By Any Means Necessary' like a freight train straight to hell, with a quick stop of in Scandinavia. Intense from the get go, these Mexborough quartet are not what many people seem to think they are. You might be sat thinking that they're that glam band that have been on the road for much of the last few years, and you'd be half right. They have been on the road a lot. But no matter what people might try and tell you, this isn't glam, not even in the Motley Crue sense. Disarm have far more in common with the likes of the Backyard Babies and their Scandinavian punk n rollers; they are sleaze merchants, but dirty, heavy and full on like a dirty needle plunging in your arm. Forget everything you've heard, forget what people will try and tell you, and pick up this album, tie yourself down, and get ready for a ride to hell and back at 100mph. If you like your rock n roll dirty, if you like the Babies, or Crashdiet, or Bullets N Octane, then Disarm are right up your street. If you hate that stuff, you aint gonna want to get anywhere near this rock n roll disaster.
Leeds Music Scene. Four and a Half Stars (out of 5) -
What can I say about Disarm? This is a band of energetic musicians that makes a team Sir Alex Ferguson would be proud of. Everything from the drums, lead guitar etc was a pleasure to hear, these guys are amazing! Whoever wrote the lyrics is a mastermind genius (recommended to be a member of Mensa).
Disarm has a thrash punk-ish style with a 'who gives a shit' attitude, but they have certainly hit a nail on the head with this album. All 12 tracks are different; all sung with a great deal of effort, but played with a great deal of talent. This is a band you WILL want to see and buy every single, album, and gig ticket for their next tour. Disarm are as addictive as beer and I love the golden stuff. What Disarm put into their music is pride, passion and pure punk rock that this type of music has been missing for a long, long time. The drummer, Ant, has an element of thrash metal in his style of play and the lead guitar from Brad and Jamie could rock all day and my head will still be banging. Brad's vocals could crack the world open with a talent like he possesses and I wish you guys luck! You all flow with talent that is unbelievable, a dream of a band that will someday make it in this crazy faddy world of music. Disarm are a band that put this genre of punk into a new age, a true tribute to new punk/metal after all these years proving that the music still lives on. A vocal talent from lead singer Brad, that words can't praise enough. The power, the harmonics mixed together with this pure vocal talent is something I haven't heard in a very long time. The rest of the band play their instruments like demons, they must have been good because the truth of the matter is it kept my wife quiet - fuck me that's a first - she usually hates rock/punk/thrash, but it opened her eyes to a music that's fantastic and it will grow on you.
Live 4 Metal.com - What gets classed as Punk these days makes the genre a very confusing place to define. Here we have something at the glammier end of the spectrum. It's still an in-your-face, high octane assault, but the aggression is tempered by a catchy, (classic era) Hanoi Rocks/Rock N Roll style, which definitely doesn't fit in with the snarl of real English Punk Rock. No, this one takes me back to the time when Back To Mystery City was on constant rotation on my old record player and this crazy music from Scandinavia was starting to have a big effect on me. And as the album progresses, you realise what a big influence must have been on whoever wrote most of the songs on this album. I hear a lot of Mike Monroe in singer
Jamie's voice as well. Basically, this is almost as good as anything I've heard out of Scandinavia, bar a few classic albums in the 80s.
So what's the downside? Not a lot really. Not for the first time recently, I'm questioning a band name in relation to the music they play, and in my opinion, Disarm doesn't fit what's coming out my headphones. Maybe the title of track 4, Bark, Bite, Scream would be a more appropriate band name. Something with a bit of bite to it, as that's what Disarm excel at. Fast, attitude filled anthems with a bit of a kick.
Planet Thrash.com - NO-ONE GETS OUT ALIVE II EP featuring Father, The Cedar Falls, Lap, Disarm and Truckfighters - Disarm – ‘The River City Ransom Death Pact’. 5 out of 5 – Another fast, punk/metal track equivalent to a good smack in the face – outstanding… Vocals have that fab, punkish drawl, and the hardcore delivery lets you know that these guys mean business. ‘The River City Ransom Death Pact’ rips through the speakers, not even pausing for breath – stunning.

"Next up were Mexborough favourites Disarm who I have seen on numerous occasions and who are a band that unleash a mix of traditional punk muster with a modern fast paced edge. With the band due to release their much anticipated debut album 'By Any Means Necessary' later this year, the band were definitely firing on all six tonight. The band opened up in ferocious style with ‘The River City Ransom Death Impact’ and from here on in it was full steam ahead, as frontman Brad took centre stage and pummelled out the relentless riffs and angst filled vocals, that have become the bands trademark sound. The short but fast and furious pace set really got the crowd hot a sweaty with songs like ‘!Resistancia!' and ‘By Any Means Necessary’ just two of the many highlights from their no holds barred set, which rounded of a quiet eclectic night that Riot Productions are famous for, giving the little guy a chance to get on the road and deliver their music to the masses and long may it continue, SEE YOU ALL AT TRASHSTOCK!" - Mayfair Mall Zine, March 2008
"Taking on board elements of punk, sleaze, rock and roll, Disarm have a modern rock sound that makes them stand out from other bands." - Sandman Magazine, January 06
"Disarm are four feral rock 'n' rollers like they just do not make them any more." - Riot Promotions
"Disarm are four cock-sure motherf**kers with one of the most confident, brash and streetwise collection of tunes Ive had the pleasure of listening to in a long while... Utterly unpretentious, they slide into the glorious late eighties attitude of party hard and play loud, yet keep things totally up to date." - Hard Rock House.com
"I'm loving wild boys 'Disarm', with a great reputation already,
destined to be glorious, and appear to simply live and breathe the
music they play. Catch 22 again, you so want to see them
make it big but you don't wanna loose the intimacy of the smaller
venue and give in to artic stadiums! It would be immoral to hold this
band down." - glitzine.net
"Mixing fast rock n roll and punk, Disarm charge head first through their set and get the crowd going mental with their punchy, tight and booming glam punk. The hooks and riffs are really catchy and by kicking in and out and building up and down they have masses of dynamic and power. The dirty bass lines and beefy guitar riffs carry the songs whilst the enegmatic frontman holds your attention and the drummer keeps it really, really tight with his powerful beats. Disarm were a real highlight of the evening with a brilliant set of tight, powerful and well written songs that summed the night up with their attitude and charisma." - Saggy Pants
"A breath of fresh air from those who cite themselves as being the next so and so. They just sound like dirty little rockers playing out original rude tunes... Verdict - we like it! Its filthy." - www.purerawk.co.uk
"Disarm are relentless rock n.. roll at its very best...(giving) a great show to a frenzied crowd. High amounts of energy, very exciting to watch, fantastic songs with shit loads of attitude!" - Sandman Magazine, May '06
Formed in the back waters of South Yorkshire, England, Disarm have been playing loud, heavy, fast, punk-tinged, bullshit free rock 'n' roll since 2005. Focusing on playing kick ass music that they believe in rather than going along with any trends has always been their main objective, aiming for a raw modern sound that disassociates them from any particular scene.
After playing several non-stop tours of the UK and recording their debut album 'By Any Means Necessary' with Matt Elliss at Axis Studios (G.U.Medicine, Number One Son, The Glitterati) they are currently preparing for yet more tours and the album's release in summer '08.
Disarm will continue to always do things their own way, making no concessions or compromises along the way for anyone. Catch them before they die!
