No band in their right mind likes to write their own bio.
It ends up sounding derivative, or cheesy, or selfaggrandizing,
or sometimes just incoherent. Often all of
those things, and it comes with a photo of three guys
standing against a brick wall (one of whom is looking
away from the camera.)
But you gotta write it because people are going to give
you five seconds and they want to know whether your
sound is going to peel the paint off their walls, whether
it’s good for making out with their girlfriend to, whether
it’s going to make their toddler smarter from listening to
it in his crib, whether it will be the Next Big Thing and
sell a million copies. And to all these quetions I say
simply: yes. Disastroid will do this for you.
Ok, people want genres and reference points, so here
you go: our singer/guitarist (Enver Koneya) likes to call
it “stoner rock for people with ADD.” The bassist
(Travis Williams) thinks of it as part Melvins, part
Minutemen, part Queens of the stone age. One of these days we’ll get around to asking the drummer (Chad Tasky)
what he thinks. Just remember -- we want you to listen to it really, really loud.
As our current lineup, we self-released an album “Life or Death” in October in 2009, and currently we are just
generally kicking ass around the Bay Area of California. But don’t take our word for it:
“...Fucking awesome. The perfect mix of Harvey Milk, Jesus Lizard, Melvins, Nomeansno, and Danzig all
while tuning it into their own unique sound. It was everything that has been good about rock music and
what is good about rock music now. I highly recommend these guys and it was nice to be completely
blown away by an opening band I had never heard a note from before.”

“H.E.A.V.Y. What does that spell? Disastroid... The three-piece dished out some of the most angular,
jaunty hard rock I’ve ever encountered -- but that combination made more sense when they did it than it
does on paper...”

“Heavy, dark and moody, just like the Bay Area fog that makes summer feel like winter and flannel shirt a
must. Minutemen-style punk with cutting vocals bright it all together; this Frisco trio can groove or blast
depending on how they feel or where the music takes them.”
