THE DESTROYERS are a 15 piece group based in Birmingham UK with a ranting punk poet as front man. This is Eastern European folk music with a gothic turbo charge, ignited by banks of brass, fiddles, accordions and drums.

Hey! Saw you guys at Larmer Tree, you were unbelievable! Seriously one of the best bands I've ever seen! I have never been moved to dance as much as watching you guys! Good job guys! :D
I walked around for a while trying to find Louis to give him a hug, he looked like he'd good to hug, but sadly couldn't find him =[
caught your set at larmer tree last month. what a show! frantically exciting. me and the missus went bananas dancing.
what a treat of an accident, hadn't heard of you, didn't know you were playing but stumbled into the tent as you were soundchecking and was instantly transfixed and bemused (as was the soundman judging by the look on his face)

You’re on Brumcast 100 ‘A Celebration’, This behemoth of a show features 50 tracks from Midlands based bands that have been played previously in one of the last 99 shows. Its not a 'Best of Brumcast' and the tracks are in no particular order. This is a (big) slice of some of the tracks that have given me much pleasure over the last 2 years. Some very difficult decisions were made in selecting the tracks for this landmark show. Please promote/plug/whore it!
