PMT / THE DESTRUCTORS: Sous Les Paves La Plage - Split-MCD
PMT was really good! Female-fronted punk rock with melodic vocals. I like! Could be nice to hear some more with this band from Norwich, UK.
THE DESTRUCTORS dosen't slow down. I wonder how many records they've released so far. It's obviously plenty. And I'm actually a little impressed that most of their stuff is good when they release so much material year after year. And there's nothing to complain about when it comes to these songs eitherThey play 4 songs each, and it's definetely worth checking out.

12:12:12 (Ragnarok)

(rowdy farrago) As is their wont, the Destructors released another slew of CDs in 2012, mostly splits, culminating in the epic "121212" CD, the last of their annual day/moth/year records (the Satanic "060606," the computer-esque "101010," etc.) Of course, I advocate they release "131313" on January 13th, 2014, but that's just my opinion. Anyhow, I guess it might have seemed obvious to do a Mayan-inspired apocalypse CD, but despite being obvious, they really pulled off an end of the world pub rock opera that's rousing, angry, and joyous (they seem pretty happy America is burning).

THE DESTRUCTORS “12 12 12 Ragnarok” CD Rowdy Farrago
OK, OK; I’m well over a month late with this review but the mighty Destructors have released a CD for the seventh year running on the day when the date reads 06.06.06 etc… I’m sure there is a word for an occurrence on the calendar for dates like this but it escapes me! Twelve credited tracks in all, themed along the lines of the end of the world with some all new songs and covers by The Exploited (Dead Cities), Discharge (Final Blood Bath) and “Failures” by Warsaw, which I’d never heard. Luckily the Mayan’s got the end of the world wrong and it did not end on 21/12/12, so on the 28/01/13, I can report that this is a fine hard hitting Destructors release and they really should get out and about and play this stuff live. Copies of this CD are going to be rare as it was released and deleted on the day! Progress dictates that you can still download it though, but you’ll miss out on the physical CD and lyric booklet, which as ever, is nothing but very well done.

Schwerpunkt
An amazing splt release featuring two long-serving UK anarcho-punk bands, with each one covering one song by the other as well as one song by yet another muse. The Astronauts may hold the most interest for readers, mainly due to their deep allignment with The (UK) Mob and Zounds. Originally affiliated with the London-based Fuck Off! DIY hippy-punk collective, The Astros remain mainstays on the free festival circuit and have – since 1979 – released one keenly-crafted, psychedelic folk punk record into obsurity after another. Their uncompromisingly stance comes honestly via leader, Mark “Astronaut” Wilkins’ ambition to remain true to his bohemian eccentricity. Despite this, he is as fine a wordsmith as Britain ever produced and can easily be call Ray Davies, Pete Townsend, John Cooper Clarke and TV Smith, collegues. None of this should detract from the insanely prolific (fifteen unique full-lengths since their 2007 reformation), Destructors – whose punk-as-fuck Crass-meets-Stiff-Little-Fingers-meets-Motorhead-inspired efforts here with cause you to fling yourselves across the room! A great record! (http://www.destructors.co.uk)

THE DESTRUCTORS: Raknarok 121212 - CD
I have immense respect for this band and the scene from which they came. After their 1984 hiatus, I have not paid them much mind. The vocals are still Allen Adams as it was in the beginning. If you don't know who Allen Adams is, he is the genius behind the lyrics to 'Northern Ripper', which we've all heard whether performed by The Destructors or The Blanks. Steve Rolls and Dave Colton are still involved, just not on drums. When I heard the first riffs pour out of the CD player, they made me take notice. These guys still have it in them and know their punk history (possibly because they're part of it) and additionally have impeccable taste. They cover The Exploited, Discharge and Warsaw. The Destructors now describe themselves as a 'scuzz grunge garage punk rock band from Peterborough in the UK. This description makes my head hurt a little bit as early members of this band were involved with System and one member even went on to join English Dogs.

THE DESTRUCTORS: Raknarok 121212 - CD
The Destructors sell all of their releases through their own Rowdy Farrago label strictly through word of mouth. And they put out a new CD just about every month of raw, straight-up punk rock with various themes. "12:12:12" continues with the theme of the apocalyptic Mayan predictions, with the likes of 'Doomsday' and 'Waiting For The End Of The World' going for the jugular. There's five new songs, 2 reworks of older tunes, and covers of The Exploited (Dead Cities), Discharge (The Final Bloodbath) and Warsaw (Failures). The Destructors bottle the end ofdays for your enjoyment here.

THE DESTRUCTORS: Raknarok 121212 - CD, Download For the seventh year, UK punks THE DESTRUCTORS release a CD for 1 day only (in this case it was released on 121212).
At the end of the day the CD is deleted from their catalogue, but is still available as a download. Fact is that no other band has achieved this. But as you should know by now, THE DESTRUCTORS are the most productive band in the world, so it's a perfect project for them.
This year's theme (there always have to be a theme too) is the end of the world, which was supposed to happen on December 21 this year as the Mayan calender ended.
5 of the songs are new and 2 are old. There's also covers of "Dead Cities" by THE EXPLOITED, DISCHARGE's "Final Blood Bath" (best track on this CD!) and "Failures" by WARSAW 12 tracks of true British punk from the gutters of Petersborough

On this evidence they should be right up my street punk! What is that? Can anyone explain? Ha! OK OK! The mighty prolific Destructors. I really like the split CD idea, always have done; they sorted out one of my long term Gripes about Punk over the years when they started doing these. Lesser known punk bands getting their chance alongside a well known, established act, what a class act The Destructors are too. Their three (+1) tracks on here (Pax Romanus) do not disappoint; First up is an oldie St. george, that's followed by a cover of one of the punk classics "Banned From The Pubs" by Peter and the Test Tube Babies, which they do as if it is their own. The credited last track for them is "Atom Heart Brother" which is a new one and a good one at that.

I have heard The Destructors on a few occasions and this is easily their best performance with three decent tracks which are 'St. George', a fine cover of 'Banned From The Pubs', and 'Atom Heart Brother'. This is a short yet sweet collection from a band that plays snotty punk with plenty of attitude and bollocks.

Rowdy Farrago
Suspect Device Zine - August 2012
Most of us of a punky persuasion would probably be aware of the Astronauts and the fact that they have been in or around the anarcho punk scene for many years. For me that’s about as far as it went up until I received this CD from the main movers and shakers at Rowdy Farrago. The Astronauts half of this split album is called “One Wave” and is probably one of the finest things ever to come out of Milton Keynes since the place was invented! They gigged years ago with the likes of Crass and other notable bands of that ilk, but have stayed around unlike many others of that leaning. Seven tracks on their half, of clear, concise, thought provoking, music and lyrics. Five tracks of their own, of which, any one of them could become a classic. They cover “You Can’t Cheat Karma” by Zounds and end with “Yes We Can” which is a Destructors tune and a feature of these albums that participating bands cover one of each others songs. The Destructors next with their half “Schwerpunkt”. Nine tracks in all make up their contribution, which really rank among their finest in all the years since they reformed (2005). “Stop The War”, “No Future”, “I Did It By Myself” and “Death Dance”. I can’t pick a favorite although I’ll always have a soft spot for their cover of Wire’s “Dot Dash” and their rendition of the Astronauts “JSS” which is a farewell to Jimmy Saville! As always anything that comes from this label and in turn the Destructors is accompanied with a great booklet containing all the lyrics and artwork. So there you have it, two very different bands that cut their teeth many years ago when punk was divided into its various sub-headings. Thankfully, over the years we’ve all got together and battle lines have blurred to form a united front!?! This album is testament to that.

Sex & Drugs & Rock n Roll
The 5th EP by the reformed Destructors. They like to theme their music on occasions and the title of this is the theme throughout this twelve track EP; that’s what I call a decent EP! The Destructors tackle all three subjects the only way they know how, a blunt honesty backed up with hard hitting tunes. They have put three relevant covers in among the twelve tracks on here, the stand out for me being The Ruts’ “H Eyes”. The usual quality lyric booklet is here too! Yet again I now find myself lost with how to put more about a phenomenal recording band!

Review
Speaking of split CDs, the band has compiled a ton of tracks off past split CDs on their new POW! THAT'S WHAT I CALL KILLMUSIK VOL. 2 collection (and added an Easybeats and a Killing Joke cover to appease their clamoring Notting Hill and Sydney fans). While a few themes emerge (the expected anti-US government stuff and some unexpected anti-illegal immigrant stuff) this is mostly just a bushel full of kickass, refreshing, low down, awesome punk.

The Destructors "Media Studies," "11-11-11 In Memorium" Destructors/Don't look Down "Je Suis Radio" Destructors/Dun2Def "Wohlgeful"
Roctober Magazine (USA)
Here's the latest batch of releases from the Destructors, a 70s/80s UK punk band that reformed this century and have since been unleashing a Jandek-esque flood of releases, including lots of split CDs with younger bands, theme albums, and annual one-day-only releases. The latest of these one day ownders is "11-11-11" which is themed to correspond with Remembrance Day (WWI had its armistice signed at 11 o' clock on 11/11/18). Thus, rather than their Satanically festive "6/6/6" release or as digitally comprehensive "101010," this is a depressing depiction of war as a futile, dark death orgy. Despite having the same pub rock/Clash-attitude as always, the darkness gives this a metal edge. Certainly one of their best efforts yet. "Media Studies" is also, solid, a theme record taking the press to task, with contemptuous lyrics about NME and Jonathan Ross and other references us Yanks don't quite understand, but we dig the sounds! Don't Look Down are one of the best bands to split with Destructors, making music that is anthemic and rousing, but definitely not Oi (because Oi bands can't cover Tears for Fears). On the other hand, the Destructors covering Modern Lovers doesn't mean they ain't Oi-ish...there's lots of skins in Massachusetts! The split with Dun2Def makes the younger band look silly for celebrating their 10th anniversary compared to the haggard vets who respectfully let the youngsters put a little pub punk chocolate into modern punk peanut better. Then the Destructors show them how it's done with a sizzlin; set that even includes an anti-Obama song ("Yes we can...but we don't!").

This is actually the sixth year that these British punks release a CD for 1 day only (but it's still available as a download after that date). A fun idea that no other band has achieved. There's also a theme every time they do this. This year's theme is Remembrance Day.
Most songs are new THE DESTRUCTORS compositions, but as always there's also some covers. This time it's GBH's "Generals" and "War Hero" by TOXIC REASON. There's also a re-recording of "Soldier Boy".
Too bad that I diden't menage to get this review up on the actual release date, but there wasen't enough time as I got so many other records to review right now. It's a damned good album though, so it's too bad that you can't get the CD anymore (but as I wrote earlier, it's still available as a download).
And don't you worry, THE DESTRUCTORS will soon have a new record out..

Scanner Zine (www.scannerzine.com)
Ya gotta admire these fellas for their work ethic. They crank out a continuous stream of albums, EPs and comps, all with decent production, packaging adorned with quality graphics and do it all on their own label, DIY-style. This slab is obviously focused around Remembrance Day and, incredibly, is only available on 11.11.11 by pre-orders, otherwise it’s download only. Not sure how that works - what if there is a pile left?? They really not gonna sell them at the next gig?? (Yup...sold out Ed.). Musically, you can read any of the other DESTRUCTORS reviews below and apply the same words to this, although opener ‘We Need You’ is spikier than much of the band’s other material while ‘Blood And Guts’ and ‘Death Machine’ bring in a brooding, dramatic KILLING JOKE vibe. Covers this time around include G.B.H’s ‘Generals’ and a spirited run through ‘War Hero’ by TOXIC REASONS. Definitely one of the band’s better releases . (07.11.11)

Two long running street punk bands, the disk is full of slick, catchy, simple by the numbers street punk but I found myself enjoying the hell out of the songs. Both bands play anthem after anthem with vaguely political lyrics but more so the lyrics give a feeling of complete disatisfaction with governments and society (MH).

Suspect Device Zine No 53
I think I’m at the point now that as much as I like them I’m almost dreading a copy of a Destructors release arriving for review! I’m not sure what there is left that I can say about them? Tuneful punk rock with something to say, often based on a theme if you look at some of their past releases! This split with Milton Keynes punks Dun2Def is just one of many a CD that The Destructors have filled with some great songs of their own and covers of many a great band – punk or otherwise. It could be argued that this is their first split album as many have been split EPs but that’s not making it any easier on this reviewer! The criteria for this spilt is mainly original songs with each band having to cover one of the others and a cover besides. Anyways, The Destructors on this outing give a great account of themselves and as ever combine good ideas with music. Dun2Def keep their half of the bargain too, tuneful and meaningful punk rock that’s easy to listen to and at the end cover one of my favourite Destructors songs “Forces Of Law” with their acoustic 2011 version! A quality booklet that covers most of the lyrics over the eighteen tracks with some smart artwork that makes punk the visual experience it should be comes with the CD too.

Maximum Rock & Roll - August 2011
Media Studies
Talk about old school. In one form or another the Destructors have been going almost incessantly since 1976, and this latest album makes it clear that they aren'r ready to throw in the towel just quite yet. Not even close in fact. This suprisingly infectious melodic street punk channels sentiments of cynicism and discontent from living in the mindless society for many years. The tunes have slightly evolved since the classic Brit punk years as they have now a tad more harmony and rock variation thrown in, but it's only enough to keep them from sounding generic. And yeah, the sound is definitely a bit more polished than the Armageddon In Action EP style that most MRR readers are likely fmiliar with, but again not so much that it ruins things.Aside from the catchy tunes that often remind me of The Drones (who also stayed good past the normal expiration date), the album's subject matter conceptually centers on media related issues, particularly drooling celebrity and ratings worship. Although the polished rock influence brings this down just a notch for me, I still can't believe how dynamic and relevant these guys still sound. Shouldn't there be a reward for this type of longevity somewhere? (BG)

Media Studies
The Destructors are an extremely productive scuzzy punk rock band from Peterborough with this themed EP being nearly the 30th release from the band since their debut release in 1982. The context is similar to their latest album 'Politika' and with catchy numbers like 'who gives a toss about Jonathan Ross' this musical lecture is a pleasure to attend. The lyrics offer substance that is much absent from the contemporary media. Amonng the neatly varied dozen cuts are three cvers, most notably the title track by The Casualties, which blend in well with their own material making the release primetime listening. (Jyrki 'Spider' Hamalainen)

The totally prolific Destructors are here again with another split CD! First up are the four tracks from New Zealand’s Gripper! As the write up says that came with this CD, “Gripper are ugly punk rock” and fronted by ex-Destructors singer Neil Singleton from their (1980-83) incarnation! I can’t capture the band with much else really; this is four ugly tracks and no doubt ugly lyrics if the song “Cunty Nose” is anything to go by! The Destructors provide their usual mix of old, new and covers amongst their four offerings. First up is “Neutron Bomb” an oldie and faster than I remember the original, second is “Reality” a cover by old fave’s here at SD, Chron Gen. Next comes a new one “Third World War” which is a fair track and lastly “Bombs are Mental” which is another Destructors oldie re-worked and delivered in fine style. It’s hard to know where to go with Destructors reviews as they can be a mix of so many things, as they always say about themselves, The Destructors are a scuzz garage punk rock band from Peterborough in the UK. It’s all Punk to me though (Gaz).

Having reformed in 2005, scuzzy punk veterans The Destructors have been occasionally dipping into horror songs for a while but this year they decided to unleash an album of horror punk anthems on Halloween. Although they seem to release an EP every other week, this material seems a cut (or should that be a slash to the throat) above, with ten storming new original tracks and covers of The Dead Kennedy's ("Halloween") the Ramones ("Pinhead") and the Misfits ("All Hell Breaks Loose") that hold their own. They're hinting that there may be more horror to come so hide behind your sofas and turn the volume up. The Destructors are a scream. (John Damon) 4/5

Peterborough's very own punk legends triumph with horror punk shenanigans! Incredibly this 13 track collection of horror themed punk songs from Peterborough's The Destructors is their 27th oficial release since they reformed in 2006 - and an amazing statistic that proves the DIY ethic is still alive, kicking and as relevant today in the underground scene as it ever was. The Destructors have stuck to their tried and tested formula of recent times of mixing up some cracking original material with select covers of their favourite artists and with "Helloween" they have nailed the potential equilibrium perfectly. Taking a breather from their overtly political and social rhetoric that has dominated their recent offerings, the overriding you will get from listening to this album is that horror is both fun and melodically infectious! The bands original tracks sit seamlessly along side the great cover versions of classic tunes by the Ramones, Dead Kennedy's and Misfits and they are executed with horrifying perfection! My personal favourite is the awesome Happy Deathday (....Happy Deathday To You.... we Loved you, We Loved You.... Till You Turned Blue)! Essential listening for zombies, vampires and punk rock fans alike! Bloody fanf-tastic! 5/5 (Danny Sambuca).

The unrelenting Destructors with another release just for "Helloween". How do they do it? Thirteen songs in all, ten of them are brand new ones and the others are covers. First up is Pinhead by the Ramones, Then Halloween by the Dead Kennedys, which I have to say they've done very well and lastly The Misfits, All Hell Breaks Loose! This is also another Destructors review where I don't know how to stop repeating myself as they keep releasing stuff. This is good though. As ever the artwork is up to scratch and all the lyrics are supplied which helps if you want to sing along to such gems as "(I Wanna) Dig Up Elvis" and "Happy Deathday" (Gaz)

So, this was supposed to be horror punk? It sound just like they use to, which means damned good punk from the streets of Peterborough in UK, but with horror lyrics instead of the political lyrics they use to have. There's "nice" titles like "Happy Death Day", "Dig Up Elvis" and "Zombie Takeaway" to name a few. For once I have heared all their covers before, which is nice. This time they "Destructorize" (is there such a word in English?) "Pinhead" by RAMONES, DEAD KENNEDYS' "Halloween" and (of course) a MISFITS cover - "All Hell Breaks Loose". They haven't changed the songs too much, so they are just as good as their own songs. Well, worth checking out as usual.

Their next project is a Halloween CD, which means that you will soon hear from them again. Nice with a band you can trust on, both when it comes to good music and speed of releases.

New Release
New 10 Track Destructors album out Sunday 10th October. 101010 (The meaning Of Life EP) on Rowdy Farrago Records. 6 brand new Destructors tracks and a couple of covers thrown in (Bad Religion, Ultravox, Godfathers & Chelsea). Buy from our Merch Store (see link below / right) or link to iTunes / Amazon etc. for digital download.

Roctober Zine - October 2010
Dead Beat To White Heat
Before getting into their new proper album let's check out three (!) more theme CDs for this veteran English punk band whose sound falls somewhere between catchy Oi and driving trash rock. They make the coppers, society and electoral politics (respectively) take it up the arse, and I am moshing all over my room right now even if I don't know the difference between Tory and Labour or exactly why to be mad at those cute-helmeted bobbies. Back to their old tricks of releasing split CDs, Destructors also team up with the potty mouthed, modern guitar sound-marred Sick On The Bus ("Whores Not Wars" - really?), but the Destructors tracks are pretty great, including a Saints cover and a bouncing bass tribute to modern art and Art Garfunkel (has any lyric captured Art's sadness better than "what looks happy from the outside never is when you're looking in"?) which includes a Gilbert and George shout-out. Better still is the split with The Black Marias who actually have the Oi-dacity to be sonically akin to the Destructors (who then match that by covering "Sonic Reducer"). But the real treasure is "Dead Beat to White Heat," 46 minutes of pub stomping pleasure that makes me want to fight and think and protest and drink warm beer! People often ask why do we labor over doing this zine and the real answer is that we do it because nothing makes us happier than receiving 10 Destructors CDs in the mail every year!

Issue 101 - September 2010
Politika
The Destructors tear into a loud and fast batch of HC punk anthems based around the theme of politics with songs about elections, the EU, revolution, the UK political system and the like. Dished out with snide vocals and more hooks than the meat locker in the average mob film. They might not have all the answers but the music is in your face with enough energy to power a small town and enough edge that punks will love this. (BOONE)

Could the Destructors be the UK’s Bad Religion? Agent Orange (USA)? There are some other bands on the tip of my tongue but I just can't remember what they're called. I can picture a lot of casual fans of punk music loving this record. I like the very distinctive English punk feel to this.

Black Marias /The Destructors – Zengukeren Split
I’ve previously stated my fondness for the Peterborough scene, a diverse and eclectic bunch of misfits; so I was looking forward to this split EP by two of the towns’ punkier elements; and it doesn’t disappoint. Black Marias treat us to 3 tracks of catchy Oi which tip a nod to the mighty Argy Bargy, while The Destructors belt out 4 originals (sounding rather like the 4 Skins on their first track ‘Religion’ despite their claims to be a scuzz garage punk rock band), and a rather rocking cover of the Dead Boys classic ‘Sonic Reducer’. Good solid punk rock. Ian Pickens

Reviewer: Paul Benton - Rating 5/5
You can call it Scuzz Rock, Punk Rock, Garage Rock or just Rock, I just call it good.At the end of the day whatever they turn their hands to it still sounds like The Destructors, and that's no bad thing.

The Destructors return with another knucle-happy split EP to add to their rap sheet. A definite pick up for the fans of the D Boys or of street punk in general.

Powerplay Magazine - Issue 121 - June 2010 - Politika - Reviewer: Glenn Butler - Rating: 7/10 Powerpoints
In true punk rock fashion The Destructors' latest offering is served up purely for the UK election and is aptly titled 'Politika. This Peterborough Punk Outfit pulls out all the stops and really let you know what they think about the whole affair right from the off with "To Vote Or Not To Vote" and the lyric "whoever wins... you lose" repeated over and over. "Downfall" is a more musical and catchier track before the venom soaked lyrics of "Fuck EU". No suprise what the band are saying here but the music is quite rocky and palatable. The album is very anti establishment and displays typical punk rock values. I admire punk bands that are true to their roots and it has to be said that The Destructors fall into that category. The punk community should be happy to mark an 'X' in this albums box.

Razorcake Fanzine #55 - May 2010 - Quisnam Vigilo Vigilo - Reviewer: Rev Norb.
Well produced and well played UK punk. All in all I can't say I have heard anything better in the genre in years, and they cover Vindictives and X Ray Spex. So if thats your kettle of cod then buy with confidence and wave to the eye in the sky on your way out of the shop.Best song: Spy In The Sky, Best Title: Rule Nanny Brittania

Maximum Rock 'n' Roll #325 June 2010 - Politika
The latest release features some more modern flourishes, notably a clean production and some metal in the guitars. The bottom line is that this is a very enjoyable record. Pity it's CD only right now.

Pop Matters
The Destructors”) are doin’ it quick and dirty with Quisnam Viglio Viglio. An eight-song EP that cycles through in less time than a sitcom sans commercials. The album takes a critical view of television as an insidious media tool. Prolific in their approach, the bands particular brand of punk serves up angry, socially conscious punk, hearkening back to a more old school, British punk style.
7/10

Review January 2010
Malleus Maleficarum
This came our way a while back but I hadn't been able to get to it because of space constraints as well as some other relatively minor (if painful) situations I had to deal with. This time around Destructors 666 take the horror themes they sometimes explore in their music in a somewhat spell bound direction singing of devil dolls, sex hexs, witches, and the like with a melodic straight up in your face approach and a lot of overdriven guitars. What arises from this aural boiling cauldron is an intoxicating brew of punk rock with slight hints of hardcore, metal and garage rock added for extra flavor. The catchiness of this EP as well as the theme through the songs offers up something here that demands to be heard. They're not everyone's cup of sake but Destructors 666 are carrying on the punk mission with their sonic flag held high. Check this out.

Quisnam Vigilo Vigilo + 999
We like these a lot. If you like classic punk and think that nowdays they don't make records like those from England in 1982, then you must hear this record. I'm sure you'll dig it.

This is proper punk. The Destructors trio of tracks sound as rough as a brawl between Iggy Pop and The Faces, but that's their brilliance.

Review November 09
Pow! That's Kill Music 666
In their three-year career Peterborough old skool crew The Destructors have churned out enough oddly titled EP’s and splits to fill a tidy space in any record store punk section. Many of these have sold out or faded into obscurity and that’s exactly where Pow! comes in. Cataloguing the earliest of the band’s recordings, along with six newbies thrown in as a treat, the album is boisterous, careering and unrefined: everything punk rock is supposed to be. Roll on volume two!
