Roy Destroy are a compelling blast of something dark yet fresh and this is why they're setting tongues wagging in the build up to Wednesday's sure-to-be-brilliant show.
Wrexhammusic.co.uk Spotlight Act
First of all, I love the name, let’s take it bit by bit. ‘Roy‘ - a name generally associated with the boring biron that is ‘Roy Cropper’ from Corrie - a wimpish and weak handbag carrying, Marks and Spencer’s tailored definition of a man. ‘Destroy‘ - definition: to defeat completely. Quite polar opposites if you compare them. A juxtaposition if you will.
The newly formed band began to beaver away in a local music studio, The Filter Rooms, where they honed and gelled a sound which they were happy with - all without a speck of procrastination, ready for their debut band performance at The Malthouse in July.
A performance which I attended, and I wasn’t disappointed. The crowd succumbed quickly to a sound so raw and vervacious that straggler’s walking by stopped to take a listen to songs such as ‘Zut Alors’, ‘Charming Heart’ and ‘Joker’.
