Chaotic Dischord - Now That's What I Call A Fuckin' Racket! (England)

Distortion 'till Deafness!

Artist: Chaotic Dischord
Album: Now That's What I Call A Fuckin' Racket!
Country: England
Genre: Hardcore Punk

Chaotic Dischord was formed as a joke between some members of Vice Squad and their roadies around 1981 in Bristol, England.
They formed originally to expose via parody the pointlessness of many of the generic ‘crusty’ second-wave punk bands that had been signed to Riot City Records, but ironically became one of the label’s best-selling acts. After an argument with Riot City boss Simon Edwards, in which Bateman and Baldwin claimed they could knock out something on the same lines as some of these bands ‘in ten minutes’, the band later went away and recorded “Glue Accident”. Their brand of punk was aimed at shocking and insulting whoever they could, with one reviewer claiming that the band’s aim was to use the word “fuck” more often than any other band before or after. They eventually got bored with what was essentially the same joke, and split up in 1988 when Bambi’s tool hire business took off.
Baldwin later said of the band: “Of course it was a joke, and we were actually quite disturbed when so many people took it seriously!”

One of my favorite bands, ever.
