ABOUT DISASTER STRIKES
”Awesome, catchy hardcore with a mixture of heavy and melodic parts, this record reminds me a lot of recent PROPAGANDHI, which in my book is a huge compliment – it just doesn’t get better than Potemptkin City Limits. Lyrics deal with corporate power, blind patriotism, and consumerism, all from a left perspective. One of the best releases on Alternative Tentacles in a while.” - MAXIMUM ROCK 'N ROLL
“Disaster Strikes = Municiple Waste + Dead Kennedys + I Object. Liberty Toast is pissed-off, politically-charged and, overall, ***** awesome! I suppose one good effect of the George W. Bush presidency is that a lot of great music is being created (much like during the Reagan era) as a reaction to his stupidity. If you like your punk punched full of politics without sounding preachy, this is a band for you.” - SLUG Zine
"Cross MDC with bands like Aus Rotten, React, and The Pist. Disaster Strikes crank out politically minded hardcore that draws from a variety of styles of the genre, from dual vocal delivery, Dead Kennedys-esque instrumentation on some songs, to Rollins style spoken/vocal delivery."
- RAZORCAKE Zine
"Imagine Black Flag, Fugazi and DRI in a political science class, and the Massachusetts-based punk/hardcore quintet DISASTER STRIKES, the bastard child of such a concoction, is born… Songs that hit such topics as workers' rights, misappropriation of funds and a general contempt for the government are all here. And the music, chaotic in a Suicidal Tendencies kind of way at times and paying much homage to the early crossover sounds of punk and hardcore, hits just as hard as an elbow to the jaw." - TOO MUCH Zine
"Truthful, politically charged punk and hardcore inspired by the likes of Echonochrist, DRI, Aus Rotten and Crass. Guest appearance by Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys)!!"
- SmartPunk
"With a classic political punkcore sound not unlike Aus Rotten or The Unseen, Disaster Strikes has put out a powerful, raw and straining record with more integrity than is usually expected. With guest performances by the great Jello "I Own The Label" Biafra and DJ Molotov and production by Today is the Day Frontman Steve Austin, this is a teeth-on-the-curb, awareness-pushing record with some surprisingly catchy guitar hooks and empowering breakdowns."
- Origivation
"Man, I love the lyrics to this album. Every song contains essential messages that need to be heard more now than ever. Hell, these lyrics should be taught in American public schools as opposed to the naïve moral, economic, and military superiority that is all students get these days, as addressed in "No Chance." Naturally, Disaster Strikes tackles the major Alternative Tentacles issues, like the reality of Wal-Mart jobs, the lack of thought heading into Iraq, a call for union and general strike, pose-for-something-but-do-nothing Bono musician/celebrities, and general public disingenuousness and stereotyping, bolstered by an adaptation of Langston Hughes' poem "Ballad Of Skinner Boy" and the United Mine Workers' Constitution... Compared to what the Warped tour passes off as punk these days, Disaster Strikes is fucking legendary."
- Tiny Mix Tapes
"On listening to this offer I would say it leans more towards hardcore but what the fuck punk is hardcore, hardcore is oi. Liberty Toast is brutal, very hard full of noise annoys stuff ie in your face, but excellent riffs and very up my street. Track 4 'Mission Accomplished' is the stand out with the very legend of punk Jello Biafra making himself heard! Make no bones about it there are 11 tracks of hard hitting music is served up on a plate to you, just add English tea and sugar to serve up a very distinguished bland. The politics of the band are quite apparent throughout the tracks, but of course politics are only one part of the equation- having a heart in what you believe in does sing loud. The influences of Crass, Subhumans, Black Flag, Minor Threat and Dead Kennedys leads to an excellent cd."
- Punk & Oi In the UK
"It's like something TSOL or the Dead Kennedys would've done. It seems like a good sign since - thanks/no thanks to Blink-182-punk rock has been about girls"
- Philadelphia Weekly
