Mother of Dissension

Tony Cortez and Carl Valdez , original members of legendary Nardcore band Ill Repute, are teaming up again for the first time in over 20 years, with local icons Randy Miller and Michael 'MoJo" Jones, to form a new band with an "old school punk" sound. Tony was most recently the lead singer for the punk band "The Loads". He's affectionately known as the "Mayor of Nardcore" and has kept the scene alive with dedication and a punk rock edge. His lyrics are intelligent and reek of emotion. Carl spent the last 20+ years honing his skills performing in Scottish bagpipe bands, dixieland jazz bands, and concert bands. He also gives back by providing music lessons to kids of all ages. Randy, extreme lead guitarist, led Nardcore band "Global Warning" and Ventura's hard rock band "Mayors of Garratt". He brings along guitar styles that cut straight through the gut. MoJo, bassist extraordinaire, fills the room from the bottom, adding decades of experience with swing band Jumpin' Jimes, cowpunk BYO artist Jackass, and local favorites La Vonettes. Each member brings a unique flavor and creativity that will captivate fans of all eras of punk rock. This is Mother of Dissension Old School Punk Rock
