InfluencesiPod on shuffle

The ghost of John Peel, robe-clad and translucent, a slight echo to his voice as he imparts ancient wisdom in a comforting Northern monotone.

The Vicious McGinty
Sounds LikeA hermit convention.

Laughing and crying at the same time.

Eight hearts beating as one.

Two one-armed people helping each other to break into spontaneous applause at how great they've suddenly realised the world is.

Bossa-township surf-skiffle.

A dog doing it with a cat.

Please, Sir! :The Movie.

Thanks for supporting Soul Destruction. We are now booking gigs so if you like what you hear, get in touch.



Described as: 'like Soulfly if Trent Reznor were part of the band,' their debut album "There's No Profit in Truth", mixes the pent up frustration of acts such as Rage Against The Machine with the raging, highly charged riffs of classic Machine Head. Good, honest, politically aware and highly charged Metal at its best...

"this album pops with technicolour rays of sunshine and life...he has a real arsenal of joyful, catchy folk-pop wonderment"

-God is in the tv zine


"this is a really lovely little album, which far transcends what has come to be expected from modern folk, or nu folk.."

8/10 DieShellsuit.co.uk


"A good solid album that will find a happy home with Fleet Foxes fans and the more folk orientated amongst you."
