Roger Miret & the Disasters - Roger Miret & the Disasters

Anyone craving a tougher punk sound than numbered bands like Sum 41 and Blink 182 will hail this hardcore unit from New York City. Led by Cuban-born vocalist Miret, who also sings with punk veterans Agnostic Front, the Disasters borrow shamelessly from Sham 69, The Clash and Rancid. Songs like “Run Johnny Run” and “Timebomb” (not the Rancid hit) boast an infectious spirit, while “Screw You” and “Smash It Up” are expletive-filled anthems that bristle with rage. Anarchy for NYC, anyone?
