Ours To Destroy

Anarchist Folk Abstract

About Me


Ours To Destroy's anarchist folk abstract is a unique juxtaposition of introspective folk with more aggressive experimental rock and melodic pop.

REVIEWS
Indie-Music.com:
"...a slow-cooked collection of divergent herbs and spices, drawing inspiration from Lou Reed, Wilco, Johnny Cash, and The Pixies."
The Brock Press:
"...seemed to challenge all genres at once, mixing a distinctive type of heavier folk rock with a hint of almost electronic-style pop."
Reviewer Magazine:
"OTD is a kind of neo-psychedelic rock band, with a certain quirkiness that recalls Guided by Voices, but they have gone their own way and followed their own muse and that is usually what brings out the best in people, this being no exception."
