"Disconnected" first turned up on Face to Face's 1992 debut, Don't Turn Away, and then refused to stay put. Singer and guitarist Trever Keith wrote it with bassist Matt Riddle, and it's punk rock boiled down to the essentials: fast, tight, hooky, with a chorus built for shouting back at the stage. Fat Wreck Chords put it out on a 7-inch in 1993.
The song kept coming back. A remix landed on the Over It EP in 1994, after the band had signed to Victory Music, and when radio started playing it the label asked them to cut it a third time for their second album, Big Choice, in 1995. That version got a video and a spot on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, peaking at 39.
