Destruction Unit are back, and they’re hungry for blood! …Or like, banh mi, or avocado fries, or whatever your favorite thing to eat in NYC is. Seriously, their guitar player, Jes Aurelius, want your lunch advice if you live in NYC. That’s what their press release says. Although, hell, Jes might not be in NY anymore. I don’t know, because I’m not internet-stalking this person. But I mean, really, couldn’t we ALL use a good lunch recommendation now and then? Isn’t the spirit of community and sharing and whatever what punk rock and DIY are all about?
Anyway, whatever. The Phoenix-based purveyors of good ol’ loud rock & roll have been in the studio working on their follow-up to 2013’s blazing Deep Trip, with more info to follow closer to its fall release date. But until then, the lads are keeping themselves busy with ventures such as (a) their upcoming summer US tour, and (b) this weird web shop they run featuring Ascetic House and D-Unit-related paraphernalia, including JEANS. That’s right: you can celebrate your love of Destruction Unit with (probably?) one-of-a-kind, band-related jeans. Kinda awesome. Um, tour dates are below.
