On Sunday, 01 June 2025, Total Chaos brought their signature blend of punk and hardcore street punk to Simple Bar in Washington, DC. Luxury Teeth, Razorface, and Drivel opened the show. This was my third time seeing Total Chaos, so it was nice to see them again and catch up.
Total Chaos topped off the night with a career-spanning set showcasing many of their most memorable songs from their 1989 demo to their most recent release, 2023’s Mind Warfare. As one would have expected, audience members joined vocalist Rob Chaos in singing many of their catchy singalongs. Guitarist Shawn Smash delivered his characteristic mix of classic “77,” street punk, and hardcore punk riffs and solos. Long time drummer Miguel Conflict and bassist Chema Zurita kept the beat and added to a killer show. Be sure to catch them next time.
Baltimore, Maryland’s Luxury Teeth brought some regional raw energy to the show and blasted through their set of hardcore punk songs that the fans loved and danced to. Be sure to check them out.
Buffalo, New York’s Razorface is a six- piece crew that hit the stage while vocalist wore a luchadora mask at the beginning of their set. The band continued the night with a loud and energetic set of punk rock madness.
