Universal Order of Armageddon was an American hardcore band, active from 1992 to 1994 and reformed in 2010. The band formed in September 1992
and by early 1993, after quickly gaining a small but devoted following, they were recording and touring the East Coast. They became known for their
extreme short chaotic performances, sometimes resulting in complete destruction. Larry Livermore (founder of Lookout! Records) was so blown away by
their live performance that he stated in a magazine column that punk bands should take note of U.O.A. and start bringing this type of energy back into
punk rock. Drummer Brooks Headley once said, "Our live shows are like turning on a vacuum cleaner for like ten minutes". Guitarist Tonie Joy and
bassist Scott Malat would often leap off their amplifiers resulting in hurting themselves and their equipment. They went on to release records on indie
labels such as Kill Rock Stars, Gravity, and Jade Tree. They toured the United States several times in 1993 and 1994 in support of those releases before
breaking up in late 1994.
Following the band's demise, Joy and Malat started the group The Great Unraveling, and Headley went on to play in the group's final lineup. Seven
moved to Seattle, Washington in 2007. He spent from October 2009 to May 2010 riding his motorcycle from Seattle to Argentina.
The four original members of the group played a series of shows in July 2010. This was followed by further live performances announced for the following
January. « hide |
