Vision of Disorder

Hear Phil Demmel's latest Collab-a-Jam.

Vision of Disorder's headline show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, set for Nov. 24, has become a Red Cross benefit show to aid victims of Hurricane Sandy, which battered the East Coast two weeks ago. The storm is of particular significance to VOD since it ravaged the band's native Long Island and beyond...

Glassjaw guitarist Justin Beck states it perfectly: "Amy Fisher, Debbie Gibson and V.O.D. - what more can I say?" If there was ever a trifecta of Long Island, New York's contribution to the Western culture, it may in fact involve the '80s pop princess, the Long Island Lolita and one of the most forward-thinking bands to leave a bloody scar on the face of heavy music...

Two weeks back, Noisecreep profiled ten top tier metal records to take us all the way to the Mayan calendar melt-down on Dec 21. But why stop at just ten? The likes of Pig Destroyer, As I Lay Dying and The Acacia Strain all have upcoming records worth your attention...

First, on Saturday, Aug. 29, the boys will roll into Long Island to headline the Bay Stage at the Jones Beach Amphitheatre...

Long Island, N.Y. is known for many things. The Big Duck, for instance. The Hamptons. The L.I.E. Amy Fisher. It's where guys like Jerry Seinfeld and Billy Joel grew up. It even has its own intoxicating brand of iced tea. But for some of us, Long Island will always be known as a breeding ground for some of the hardest-hitting music of the late '90s...
