Total Chaos
Thirty years ago in Pomona Valley, California, was the birth of Total Chaos. Created out of the desperate need
to save a dying genre of punk rock, during a time that the market was saturated with a more commercial new
style. It was more important than ever to express their social and political views. The idea of social
responsibility was a significant thing, from organizing peace punk picnics, to protesting against the gulf war,
their music had a meaning and stood for something. Over the years, the band has seen many things come and
go, but they have stuck to their original ideals. Whether you are pop punk, street punk, hardcore punk,
straight edge, political punk, goth punk, skate punk, crust punk, metal punk, or whatever box they try to put
you in, Total Chaos unites you all into one scene:
PUNK ROCK!
Noogy
Noogy is punk band from Denton TX, formed in January 2016. Mixing 80’s hardcore with the ska-punk of the East Bay sound to create a back-to-basics classic style.
Lyrical content express far left political views to stories of troubled adolescence, drug abuse, punk culture and other social issues.
Founded by Andre Vorhis (guitar/vox) and Nick Helm (drummer), the band went through numerous line up changes over the years. Anthony Martinez (guitarist/vox) was added in 2018 and has been a permanent fixture ever since.
After touring relentlessly with a series of different bassists and tagging along with bands such as T.S.O.L., M.D.C., Reagan Youth, Flipper, etc and opening for Pennywise at Punk Rock Bowling 2019, Noogy recorded the Roughhousin EP at Civil Audio studios.
Prior to the release of the Roughhousin EP, drummer Nick Helm passed away on April 24th, 2020.
Noogy’s first full length was released on 9/25/2021. It featured a series of previously unreleased/released/demos of drums by Nick Helm from the last few years and were recorded over and remixed to make the album.
It was not how the album was intended to be made but was the only way to have original line up on the record.
The songs Nick didn’t have a chance to do were filled in by Antonio Val Hernandez of T.S.O.L. and was mixed/mastered/co-produced by Michael Briggs At Civil Audio.
