Destructors 666 + Radicus
Gott mit uns
Rowdy Farrago records
December 2006
Okay, so I got this in the Po Box a few weeks, and must say I kinda chucked it aside because from the cover it looked like some bad metal type band. Finally got around to chucking it in the CD player and I can't say it really did much for me at all. There are 3 tracks from each band.
The Radicus songs I really didn't like to be honest. Not my kind of sound at all. Reminds me of that 'soft' metal / rock sound that you used to hear on the radio in the 80's. Musically it sounded good, in the sense that it didn't make you cringe and they all played in time and the singer has a 'nice' singing voice, but yeah, like I said not my thing.
Destructors 666, which I discovered after reading their website are the new reincarnation of 'The Destructors' who began life in 1977 and then split then reformed, then split again...
Their 3 tracks are better. More punk sounding with a bit more guts in it. But still not really doing a whole lot for me. Maybe after a few more listens it might grow on me a bit.
Like I said, not my thing. But the person sitting next to me now really likes the radicus sound. So there ya go.
Check them out yourselves
Destructors 666
Radicus
Second review done by Eebs
I’ll
start this by saying I really don’t get into pop-punk in its current
incarnation. The last decade has not done the genre any favours.
Radicus, however, would no doubt disagree.
This
reminds me of mid-nineties Scandinavian and East coast
seppo-boardshort-and-baseball-cap punk. It works fine for what it is.
The harmonising is cringe-worthy, but otherwise the music is pretty
well executed. Couple of interesting bits. Check it out if you like
that sort of shit.
Destructors666 Maybe
these guys are an acquired taste, or maybe this is just heaps better
than the other EP I’ve heard from them. Either way I liked this. I
think I used the phrase pub-rock in the other review. It still works,
but there’s definite proto-punk stylings here. A very listenable
retread of MC5’s “Kick Out the Jams” sits between two originals which
also rock suitably hard. As in hard rock that is. The name still
implies a whole level of hardcore/horrorbilly/thrash/something that
doesn’t quite arrive, but this stuff is good.
