With the release of there highly anticipated 1st ep Distress earlier this year, Destroy Your Enemies plans on hitting the road late August of 2007 to reach nation wide recognition. After recent member changes and the work load of juggling local shows, school, and sharing the stage with major nation wide acts (such as XBishopX, Diecast, In this Moment, Sworn Enemy etc.) the time is now for this young and upcoming band to display their abilities and help revive a hardcore scene that has in recent times been suppressed by hot topic fads and black slanted haircuts.
In August of 2006, Nathan Cable, Drew Cruse, Brian Mayes, Mackenzie Kelley, and Jeremy Toler began Destroy Your Enemies. As time progressed, so did the the bands musical direction. With the departure of Brian Mayes and Todd Campbell, and with the new addition of Brandon Kelley, the band now has the key components to survive and thrive while on the road. The heart and emotion displayed at every show leaves many kids breathless. With lyrics that place an emphasis on life stories and current issues surrounding the local hardcore scene, it's nearly impossible not to find a song that relates to a time or situation in your life that means something to you. The bands recent album Distress is one of the most versatile albums released by a local act coming out of central Kentucky in years. Distress, from start to finish, has a song on it for just about anybody involved with today's aggressive alternative music.
Destroy Your Enemies has become a well know name throughout central Kentucky. With the goals of the band primarily being reaching out to kids and having fun, the sky seems the limit and only time will tell until Destroy Your Enemies' hard work and inspirational messages impacts a scene that seems deprived of fundamental values set from predecessors before them.
If you are interested in booking Destroy Your Enemies, please message this myspace or contact Mackenzie via AIM @ GrabYourWeapons. Thank you.
"...Acts of kindness toward an enemy will provide the greatest possible tool to destroy an enemy. An enemy is never destroyed until the enemy no longer exist. Destruction of the enemy occurs when the enemy becomes a friend..."
