Disrupt was an American crust punk band from 1987 to 1993, formed in Lynn, Massachusetts, United States. The lineup was Jay Stiles and Pete Kamarinos- vocals, Chris Drake- guitar, Harry Haralabatos- drums, Tony Leone-bass. After recording one rehearsal demo, Tony and Harry left the band. Brad Jones- drums and Mike Williams-guitar joined in the spring of 1988. Brad left the band a couple of months later and Mike started playing drums. With this lineup, they recorded the Millions Die For Moneymaking- thirteen song demo with Jay also playing bass in Nov. 1988. In the spring of 1989, Mike and Chris left the band and Harry their first drummer rejoined so they could record songs that at the time were supposed to be on a split 7" with Extreme Noise Terror. At this time, they recruited Scott Lucid to play bass. In October 1989, they recorded five songs for the s/t 7" that was co-released on Crust records and Deafcore records. The lineup on the first 7" was Pete-vocals, Jay -vocals and guitar, Scott-bass and Harry-drums. In 1990, Scott left the band and they acquired Bob Palombo to play bass. A few months earlier, Chris Drake rejoined the band and Terry Savastano (Spasm) joined on second guitar. This lineup recorded eleven songs for the Refuse Planet 7" Relapse and split 7" with Destroy (Adversity/Break the Chains) in Jan 1991. Both records were released in 1991. Chris left the band in early 1991 and then they got Jeff Hayward (Unleashed Anger) on second guitar. About a week after Jeff joined the band, Harry (drums) quit so they recruited Randy Odierno (Temporary Insanity). In May of 1991 the lineup was Pete Kamarinos- vocals, Jay Stiles-vocals, Terry Savastano- guitar, Jeff Hayward-guitar, Bob Palombo- bass and Randy Odierno- drums. That year they entered Headroom studios (Bill T Miller) and recorded songs for split 7"s with Disdain (Desperate Attempt), Resist (Destroy all Music), Tuomiopaivan Lapset (Ecocentric) and Taste of Fear (Off the Disc). The split 7"s and the Smash Divisions -live 7"(S.O.A.) were released in 1992. In Nov. 1992, they entered One World studios with Bill T. Miller and recorded thirty songs for the Unrest album and Deprived 7". The ten songs for the Deprived 7" were new recordings of older tracks. In June of 1993, they entered the Lanes studios with Bill T Miller and recorded 17 songs. Eight songs from the session were released on the split Lp with Sauna (Sludge) in 1994. The split 7" with Warcollapse (two songs from the Lanes session) was released on Crust records in 1995. Disrupt toured Europe in Oct./Nov. of 1993. After the tour, they broke up due to personal and musical differences. The Unrest album was released on Relapse in Aug of 1994.
