DESTINATION: EARTH! is celebrating its 10th ANNIVERSARY with a new BEST-OF CD, entitled FADERS ON STUN: THE BEST OF DESTINATION: EARTH! Get your copy HERE!
Like Athena springing forth from the head of Zeus in ancient mythology, the members of DESTINATION: EARTH! emerged from the wreckage of their downed alien spacecraft fully formed. By combining elements of the spy, surf, garage, punk and indie rock genres with those of musical styles not yet invented, the members of DESTINATION: EARTH! have become the universe's quintessential power trio of rock-it science.

“Fun, thundering surf/spy/space rock from the 23rd century, brought to us by a trio of aliens who have come back in time to give us the ultimate sneak preview at a greatest hits album. I find myself pulled into wild space battles by the crazy theremin and the hyper drums, amused by the unexpected mid-song voice samples, and entertained by the entire package.” – ‘Play the Hits of the Future’ CD review excerpt, DJ Johnson, Cosmik Debris, USA
“Boosted by touches of theremin, film soundtrack instros, and the occasional vocal, this is basically a great rockin' guitar instrumental set. The vocals are pure catchy pop - I find them irresistible - while the remaining bulk of the album finds D:E! in full guitar rock flight. It's dynamic stuff... with the band's pop sensibilities fully intact. It’s also very accessible and a great deal of fun.” – ‘Play the Hits of the Future CD review excerpt, Alan Taylor, Pipeline Instrumental Revue, UK
“One of our favorite instrumental rock trios is back with another storming visit to the furthest planets... For listening, partying or as background music for your next trip to Saturn, this is the one. A band whose music is indestructible!” – ‘Play the Hits of the Future’ CD review excerpt, Davy Peckett, New Gandy Dancer, UK
“Four and a half stars! Destination: Earth! are back with their third full-length release, probably their best to date. The band is truly at its peak.” – ‘Play the Hits of the Future’ CD review excerpt, Sean Berry, The Continental Magazine, USA
“Four stars! Often inventive, the music is never dull or dismissible. It is imaginative, sometimes a little geeky in its humor, and always enjoyable. Ten instrumentals surround five vocals about space and aliens.” – ‘Adventures in Newspace’ CD review excerpt, Phil Dirt, Reverb Central, USA
“Most bands do one or two things. DESTINATION: EARTH! manage a perfect blend of six or seven, and do them all very well. While I found my way to the 3rd wave of surf via Man Or Astro-man, these guys could wipe the floor with them. Time to check out the band that could be the savior of the genre.” – ‘Adventures in Newspace’ CD review excerpt – DJ Johnson, Cosmik Debris, USA
“The band, while adding some vocals here and there, are progressing nicely, and this space concept album is very clever, with some startling originals - The title theme of which is kind of Dick Dale meets Batman! A very tight band with lots of original ideas - Some listeners will liken them to Finland's Laika & the Cosmonauts, or even early Man Or Astro-man, but don't - they're great on their own. A Winner! **** - ‘Adventures in Newspace’ CD review excerpt – Davy Peckett, New Gandy Dancer, UK
“Usually groups that are known for the instrumental sound do not succeed when they attempt adding vocals, and this group is an exception to the rule… Not only is this fun music, its good quality music, and it's made to play LOUD - ready to blast out of the speakers! Fifteen tracks that kick some major ass.” – ‘Adventures in Newspace’ CD review excerpt – Keith Hannaleck, Muzik Man’s Sound Script, USA
“Okay, are you ready for this? Take your favorite surf rock and rockabilly bands, strap them to a titan rocket, and blast them right the hell into space! What results is DESTINATION: EARTH! That's the only way I can describe this. This is surprisingly good!” – ‘Trapped in Hyperspace with…’ CD review excerpt, Impact Press, USA
“If you like your guitar instrumentals with plenty of youthful drive, and a touch of humor, then look no further!” – ‘Trapped in Hyperspace with…’ CD review excerpt, Alan Taylor, Pipeline Instrumental Revue, UK
