Disrupters Biography

Anarchist punk band from Norwich, UK. Formed in late 1980, the band got off to an early start with a demo of Napalm being released by Crass Records on the Bullshit Detector compilation.
1981 saw the recording and release of the first single, Young Offender, on the band's own label, Radical Change Records. This was a surprise hit in the indie charts and far outsold all expectations. The track Young Offender also appeared on Punk & Disorderly compilation.
By 1983 the band had a settled lineup of Steve, Kev, Paul & Steve.
The band were believers of direct action, which led to various arrests and court cases. They were also very active in their support of other bands, with releases by [a=Destructors], Icon AD, [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Revulsion+(2)]Revulsion[/url] & Self Abuse on the band's label, as well as organising gigs.
The band split in 1988, disallusioned with the growing divides within the scene. Kevin went on to form Saigon Kiss. Steve Hansell was vocalist in New York Scum Haters.
In recent years there has been a DVD "Anarchy, Peace & Chips" released and also the anthology CD "Gas the Punx". There are murmers from The Disrupters camp that there may be a reform of the band.

The Disrupters were formed in late 1980 in Norwich, UK.

Originally influenced by the early punk bands of the late 70s (Sex Pistols,
Ramones, The Clash etc) the band were becoming increasingly drawn to the
anarchist scene.

Things started early for The Disrupters with Crass including an early demo
version of the song "Napalm" on their 1st "Bullshit Detector" lp.

In 1981 the band entered Whitehouse Studios in Norwich to record their 1st
real recording session. The 3 tracks laid down that day became the "Young
Offender" 7". The record was a surprise hit in the indie charts and far
outsold the bands expectations. This initial release began a working
relationship with Backs Records in the running of Radical Change Records, a
label dedicated to the promotion of punk/anarchist bands.

Initially The Disrupters had a few hiccups finding the right combo of band
members but from 1983-88 they settled with founder members Bangkok Steve
(aka Steve Hansell) (Vocals) and Kevin Wymer (Drums) along with Paul Greener (Guitar).
Steve Hough (Bass) and Prem Nick (spoken word tracks).

The band liked to mix actions with words and were actively involved in
various elements of direct action, sometimes ending in arrest and court
appearances.

The Disrupters called it a day in late 1988, dissalusioned with the ever
growing divide and bitching within the scene, Steve (Vocals) quit to
concentrate on other things and the rest of the band followed suit.:

Original Line Up:
Steve - Vocals
Dave - Bass
Kev - Drums
Gibbon - Guitar

The band reformed in 2007 after Steve Ignorant requested they play his Feeding of the 5000 gig.

2007 onwards Line Up
Steve Hansell
Kevin Saigon (aka Kev Wymer) left in 2008 to concentrate on his band Saigon Kiss
Mash also a member of Saigon Kiss
Steve Hardy also a member of Saigon Kiss
