In 1986, Disorderly Conduct released a full-length album entitled “AMEN.” and was featured on the Flipside (fanzine) compilation album “Flipside’s Vinyl Fanzine 2.” That same year, Decter was voted “best new hardcore guitarist” in the fanzine “Famous Hardcore of Punkland.”
In 1990, Disorderly Conduct relocated from Florida to Los Angeles and became Amen in Los Angeles, with Casey Chaos on vocals. Amen recorded and released their debut on Drag-u-La Records entitled “Slave.” Unable to secure a record deal during the 1990’s Seattle Grunge era, Decter amicably split from Amen and joined The Ex-Idols where he began co-writing with talented singer/songwriter Gary Finneran aka “Gary X.” The Ex-Idols released their major label debut “Social Kill” in 1994 on Sony Music, and toured with English punk band the U.K. Subs. All songs on the record were written by Gary Finneran, with the exception of “Go Away,” written by Decter. Decter’s composition “Go Away” was promoted as the band’s second single following their promotional “Pill Popper” EP.

In 1984, Decter wrote and submitted a song titled “Roddy Pipers Rowdy Hearts Club Band” for The Wrestling Album. The song was to be the feature song for then WWF wrestler Roddy Piper. Although the song did not make the record, it was later included on the “Four Bands That Could Change The World” compilation album released in 1985 on Gasatanka Records. F did several small east coast tours during the 1980’s, touring with The Ramones, White_Flag, and Flag of Democracy. F received radio airplay on Miami’s WLRN-FM and record reviews in punk fanzines Flipside (fanzine) and Maximumrocknroll. As a result, F was included on compilation albums by both fanzines, most notably ‘Flipside’s Vinyl Fanzine #1’alongside notable punk acts as the Misfits, the Germs, Agent Orange, GBH, and The Dickies; and Maximum Rock N Roll’s Dedication To Tim Yohannan (see discography). In 1988, F had a 7″ vinyl record released on Mystic Records, titled “Mess You Up,” which included a credited guest appearance by famed eccentric ukelele player Tiny Tim (musician).
