Battle of Disarm is an anarchist crust punk band from Isigawa, Japan, formed in 1989. Known for its strong political content, their lyrics advocate for animal liberation and Earth liberation. They have refused to release any material on compact disc or online streaming platforms, in protest of capitalism and the technological advances that have swept across Japan, which they believe has lead to worldwide enslavement. Other subject matter which they have focused on includes nuclear disarmament and world hunger. They are the forerunning band for the independent distro and record label, D.I.Y. Records, in which they have released most of their albums on. Originally located in Ohara, it was forced to close down for a brief period, for financial reasons, before reopening In 2004 and relocating to Tokyo. The slogan for the record company is "DIY or die," which has been popularized within the punk rock scene. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Battle+of+Disarm">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
