"Roots reggae/dub protectors Destroy Babylon are a case study in DIY success... they've diligently built themselves an empire that landed them on bills this summer with some architects of the sacred sounds they proselytize: The Wailers, Eek-A-Mouse and Lee "Scratch" Perry... the crew began and remains fiercely independent." Performer Magazine
"Rooted in dub, hip-hop and post-punk ethos, Destroy Babylon casts and anguished eye on society and never looks back. Five friends from Hudson, NH join forces on "The Shadow Army," and all original songs like "Blackwater," "Shadow Army" and "Nuh Skin Up" and everything from the D.I.Y. booklet, ground-zero graphics and militant stance says we're not gonna take it anymore. Along the way they incorporate some nice roots elements- they've definitely done their homework here- and the entire project comes off solid and sincere." Chuck Foster, The Beat
"This is a clever bit of musical art delivered in a highly inventive and original package". Metronome
"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)
"...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
"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 Magazine
"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 first record." Performer Magazine
