DISORDER - Fake Heads EP 1981

Nice EP by this dutch four piece called Disorder from IJsselstein and they released their only record on their own Fake Heads label. They were active in the Eighties and the band consisted of Harold (vocals), Riks (guitars), Marcel (bass), Ron (drums). Known for their rough sound and energetic live performances. and this piece of wax is a small contribution of the important scene of that time. The EP contains six minimalistic tracks that rather untypically reflect the genuine Punk sound of the era, with catchy melodies and critical lyrics. The EP is self-released, which was not unusual at the time, as many bands tried to establish themselves independently of major record labels. Although Disorder did not achieve the same level of fame as some of their contemporaries, they still left a certain influence in the nederland scene and are appreciated by collectors and fans and their music and D.I.Y. attitude are characteristic of the early 1980s.

  1. Wow, we never expected that our music would still be appreciated. When our band Disorder split up, Marcel en Riks started the band Boris Dzaneck.
    Recently the Disorder-song ‘Shy’ recorded during the same session as the songs on Fake Heads was put out on the compilation album Utreg Punx. Which is a great document of the Dutch punk-scene from that era. Also published on Spotify!
    Greetings, Riks and Marcel from Disorder
