Sounds Like:
"...their mix of reggae and punk works quite well, and while that’s an easy pairing of which to be skeptical, there’s no authenticity issue here either... Destroy Babylon is worth keeping an eye on." Noise
"This is a clever bit of musical art delivered in a highly inventive and original package". Metronome
"With a sound that embraces the defiant punk vocals and lyrics that challenge both the decisions of our current government administration and the dangerous apathy of the listener, DB continues to defy strict genre categories with this new release... Edgy, spirited and at times surprisingly catchy, the record asks bold questions, ultimately leaving the listener to find the answers." Performer
"Destroy Babylon opened up the night with a much louder, harder sound than is usually associated with the genre. It did not surprise me when I discovered vocalist/guitarist/horn player John Beaudette and drummer Marc Beaudette were twins because the band stayed coordinated during very complicated pauses without ever missing a beat. They are definitely worth seeing live..." The Tech (MIT)
"Highly energetic ...a blister of punk rock who should never have time to properly heal." Smother
"Reggae-Rock with an agenda." Boston Globe
"Clearly a group who wants you to be a bit puzzled, then ask some questions, Destroy Babylon puts a tripped-out spin on the reggae sound and seizes on a number of current social issues to come up with a strong record." Performer
