The genre bending grace of Ours to Destroy unravels a blanket of menacing texture complimented with bravado of blues.

With bone breaking intensity that holds nothing back these destroyers are ours to cherish.

The gut grinding opener "Checkmate" possesses the feverish aggression of Modest Mouse with Ziggy Stardust on vocals. The seething irony of "Happy Now" inflicts punishing feedback with a Pixies style chorus while the hypnotizing "Exorcising Demons" features exceptionally compelling chants through cryptic imagery. The lo-fi, frightful "Skipping Rope of Daisies" is a kaleidoscope of creativity balancing the grungy grace of the Screaming Trees with the laidback emotion of the Wallflowers. With musky vocals chirping to George Harrison style strings, this cunning classic reflects on inner struggles and the complexity bottled beneath. The swirling "Holidays" is a mutating collision of the White Stripes' destructive garage grit with a startling slice of eclectic energy. Blast this bone crusher to get you in the hectic holiday spirit.
