Total Chaos

30 YEARS AGO IN POMONA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA, WAS THE BIRTH OF TOTAL CHAOS. CREATED OUT OF THE DESPERATE NEED TO SAVE A DYING GENRE OF PUNK ROCK, DURING A TIME THAT THE MARKET WAS SATURATED WITH A MORE COMMERCIAL NEW STYLE. 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 HAD 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!
