The Mirimar Disaster (also known as simply Mirimar and even at times the Mizzle Dizzle) are a metal band from Sheffield, England. Their self titled debut album was released in 2007 and was well received, gaining a 4/5 rating in Kerrang magazine. They were described by Dan Carter on the Radio 1 Rock Show as "the makings of a dream band".
The name of the band comes in part from the 1986 movie blockbuster Top Gun, starring Tom Cruise. The name of the base where the Top Gun training school is held is Miramar, and during the filming of Top Gun there was a fatal accident, hence the name, The Mirimar Disaster. It is not known why the spelling differs between the band name and actual location.
