The Destructors- Ragnarok 12.12.12 CD review

Compared to the previous releases I’ve received from these guys, this stellar. This has a mixed Oi!/UK 82 sound that surprised me quite a bit- they do a couple of pretty good covers of the Exploited “Dead Cities” and Discharge’s “The Final Bloodbath”, albeit with a clearer, less cacophonous singing style. Though I am not into the singing style the band usually employs, this is a modernized version of UK 82 bands, and it’s done very well. Even the slower songs are pretty good most of the time. The topics are still very political, one thing that’s never changed about the band in my time of being aware of them (and one thing I have mad respect for them on). No songs that were notably bad, and the best song was the “War of the Worlds” jam; definitely above average. If nothing else, I have a few tracks I’d certainly recommend off this record.

“Hallelujah”

On a recent trip into NYC to see a performance of Bread and Puppet Theater's annual engagement at The Theater for the New City, we decided to go out to PS1 in Queens. There we encountered this installation, using Jeff Buckley's cover of Leonard Cohen's song. The following day Alan Light's article in the NY Times was published. Adam Sandler performed a parody version at the 12.12.12. Concert for Sandy relief several days later. Since then several posting among Facebook friends or FoF have mentioned the song.

Synchronistic or coincidental? You be the judge. But for those interested, I highly recommend Mr. Light's article.
