Ours To Destroy Live at Broken City
Featuring interviews & live concert footage from our gig in December 2007 at Broken City Calgary.
Ours To Destroy's anarchist folk abstract is a unique juxtaposition of introspective folk with more aggressive experimental rock and melodic pop.
REVIEWS
Indie-Music.com:
"...a slow-cooked collection of divergent herbs and spices, drawing inspiration from Lou Reed, Wilco, Johnny Cash, and The Pixies."
The Brock Press:
"...seemed to challenge all genres at once, mixing a distinctive type of heavier folk rock with a hint of almost electronic-style pop."
Reviewer Magazine:
"OTD is a kind of neo-psychedelic rock band, with a certain quirkiness that recalls Guided by Voices, but they have gone their own way and followed their own muse and that is usually what brings out the best in people, this being no exception."
ABOUT THE ALBUM
Their first self-titled CD was released January 2006 and can be purchased at CD Baby.

Betty Boop in Skipping Rope of Daisies - our first video!
True story: Today I had my Ipod on shuffle and it froze up exactly twelve seconds into "Skipping Rope of Daisies." Not sure what that might mean but it seemed worth mentioning....
PS; It's working now, so I won't be suing you all for a new one....
Thank you so much for your friendship! I would be honored if you would take the time to check out the new tune The People Game and let us know what you think.

I very much enjoyed your music, as well... I love the deconstruction at the end of "Prairies". Why do you guys have to live in Alberta? Aren't you cold? Migrate to Pittsburgh! It's warm here now, for some reason.
