Really no grand explanation for the name. Its the one that struck a chord with us and we decided to keep it.

Play live frequently in MO and have travelled to Illinois. We pride ourselves on our presentation live through our sound and presence. All our shows have had special moments and we know there are many more to come...big and small.

I think the internet is a positive tool for bands to be recognized/heard, for the most part. Its a great tool for unsigned bands to network/get their music heard.

Yes. We would love nothing more than to have the financial backing to release cds to the masses and tour!!!

Myself (Matt Green, guitar) and Ryan Mullins (bass) used to be in a band called LeveL. LeveL disbanded and we teamed up with TJ York (drums) and Jereme Brosch (vocals) who were formerlly in a band called Downfall. We had a common goal of writing music we all loved and Disgrace by Design was born!

Really too many to mention. The world of metal obviously (underground and beyond) and other genres of music. Disgrace by Design are a metal band and always will be. Heavy metal is in our blood. We respect newer bands like Lamb of God, Meshuggah, Killswitch Engage, Pantera, Black Label Society, Superjoint Ritual, Down, Crowbar and Hatebreed but also love great acts such as Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and the list goes on!

Europe. The metal scene is amazing!!! Also, mid-MO...the metal fans here rule!!!

Ibanez/BC Rich guitars, Ibanez basses, Mesa Boogie amps, Carvin bass amps, Pearl Drums, Shure mics.

Hey all! Give us a look/listen. Let us know what you think!!!
