New Mexican Disaster Squad was an American hardcore punk band. It was formed in Orlando, Florida in 1999. Their last show was at the Fest 7 on November 1, 2008, though the band did reunite to play Radfest in North Carolina, May 2010.
The band's MySpace page describes their sound as "harken[ing] back to the glory days of American hardcore with equal influences from the east and west coasts".[1]
They released four full-length albums, the last, Don't Believe (2006), on Jade Tree Records.
On December 28, 2008, a posting on the band's MySpace page announced that Goldfarb, Minino, and Johnson had joined with Tony Foresta, the vocalist from Municipal Waste, to form a band called No Friends.
Eight years later, Goldfarb, along with Chris Pfister, Chris Kretzer, and Zach Anderson formed a new Orlando punk-pop band, Debt Neglector.[2] In August 2018, they released their first album on SmartPunk Records, Atomicland.[3]
