Riding the fine line between obnoxious skatepunk and soddenmetal, Murphy's Law came out of New York City's mid-'80shardcore scene and formed in Astoria, Queens, around vocalist Jimmy G. The group's self-titled debut, released on Profile in 1986, contained the usual '80s subjects (boredom, alienation,weed, beer, etc. ), but the songs were definitely there, and Murphy's Law improved even more with their second album,1989's Back with a Bong! The band was on the Profile-associated Combat Records for 1991's The Best of Times, but recorded little duringthe early '90s. In 1995, Murphy's Law came back with the EP Good for Now, and the full-length Dedicated arrived the following year. Best of Times / Good for Now was issued in 2000; The Party'sOver came next in the spring of 2001. Thirty years ago in Pomona Valley, California, was the birth of Total Chaos. Created outof the desperate needto savea dying genre of punk rock, during a time that the market was saturated with a more commercial newstyle.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 hada 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!
