New Mexican Disaster Squad was an American hardcore punk band. It was formed in Orlando, Florida in 1999. Their last show was at the Fest 7 on November 1, 2008, though the band did reunite to play Radfest in North Carolina, May 2010.

The band's MySpace page describes their sound as "harken[ing] back to the glory days of American hardcore with equal influences from the east and west coasts".{{Cite web|url=https://myspace.com/newmexicandisastersquad|title=NEW MEXICAN DISASTER SQUAD | Listen and Stream Free Music, Albums, New Releases, Photos, Videos|website=Myspace.com|accessdate=2020-03-26}}

They released four full-length albums, the last, Don't Believe (2006), on Jade Tree Records.

On December 28, 2008, a posting on the band's MySpace page announced that Goldfarb, Minino, and Johnson had joined with Tony Foresta, the vocalist from Municipal Waste, to form a band called No Friends.

Eight years later, Goldfarb, along with Chris Pfister, Chris Kretzer, and Zach Anderson formed a new Orlando punk-pop band, Debt Neglector.{{Cite web|url=https://www.punkrocktheory.com/interviews/debt-neglector|title=Debt Neglector • Punk Rock Theory|date=August 29, 2017|website=Punkrocktheory.com|accessdate=2020-03-26}} In August 2018, they released their first album on SmartPunk Records, Atomicland.{{Cite news|url=https://www.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs/archives/2017/07/05/local-punks-debt-neglector-will-release-debut-lp|title=Local punks Debt Neglector will release debut LP|first=Matthew|last=Moyer|newspaper=Orlando Weekly|accessdate=2020-03-26}}
