Almost 22 years ago (Sept.-Oct. 1989) in Pomona Valley, CA TOTAL CHAOS was born. Created out of the desperate need to save a dying genre of punk rock - during a time where the market was saturated with a more commercial "new style". Along the side of a dedicated few other bands who believed in the dying genre and all that it represented - to them it was not only music but a forum to convey important political and social views. TOTAL CHAOS has grown as a band and has seen many come and go - but they have always kept their original ideals of what their genre of music is all about - which hasn't been easy during a time of mirages and deceit. Now after more than two decades TOTAL CHAOS present their brand new album "Battered And Smashed", which is a perfect mix of their hardcore-influenced songs and the 77´ sound of their awesome release "Anthems From The Alleyway". It's quite possible that this record will become their best one out of a long list of great releases.
