About Me |
|
In 1738 when Lewis Paul and John Wyatt patented the famous Roller Spinning machine, they began a long historical lineage of industrial and scientific innovation in Birmingham. In 2007, following in the footsteps of their industrial forefathers, five Birmingham men have developed and perfected a musical formula so utterly unique and innovative as to restore hope in the city’s faded glory. Destroy Cowboy have been assembling klaxons and magnetic sound machines that pulse and vibrate, harnessing the power of the elements and the spirit of the crowd to explosive effect. Successful live tests have seen these brave men exhibiting alongside such leading names of music, science and industry as Cold War Kids, Tapes ‘n Tapes, Humanzi, 2ManyDjs, 1990s, The Stills and Tokyo Police Club. The scientific community and the people of Birmingham now wait expectantly for news of Destroy Cowboy’s next move. To Die By Your Side... a Birmingham five piece with a talent for intense, melodic assaults ... a melting pot of ideas that meld pounding drums to heavy guitars while swathes of elctronics and synths swirl around ... todiebyyourside August 2007Liquor is Quicker... Don't you just love unexpected surprises? Life just plods along in all its mundane familiarity, work work pub club sleep and all that. Then wham, something new, something exciting. For me, it was my first live experience of Destroy Cowboy ... Liquor is Quicker January 2007The Hearing Aid... Destroy Cowboy are a seriously impressive band. One anthemic classic after another … I can really see Destroy Cowboy making it, not just nationally but across the pond too. They are, in my humble opinion, THAT good. Now go listen, see 'em live and if you're not 100% satisfied then you don't have ears. ... The Hearing Aid November 2007
