The album was originally going to be called Payback (the name of the opening track), but was later changed to Guerilla Disco, the name of an older Quarashi instrumental.

Detail

edit

On 3 January 2003 Quarashi announced that their lead vocalist, Hossi, was leaving. In mid-2003 rapper Opee joined long enough to release "Mess It Up" which became a big hit in Iceland that summer. He also did some other songs with them, including 'Shady Lives, Orð Morð' and other demos. Later that year the band announced that the rapper Tiny had joined, and announced a new song for download.

Quarashi continued to work on the album throughout 2004. The first official single released for Guerilla Disco was "Stun Gun", which was popular in Iceland. The album was released in November 2004 in Iceland and, after securing a deal with Sony Japan, in March 2005 in Japan. The Japanese release's art was designed by Omar Swarez, a member of the band. The band broke up several months after the Japanese release.
