Imagine a power that uses sound to create, manipulate, or destroy -- an entity for good
or evil. Teetering on the edge of sanity and nearly impossible to control, this force
can be seen as a weapon. And yet, to make it Through This Night and bring light to
darkness, we have no choice but to Ready the Destroyer.
Through This Night (Debut CD released 10/2008)

"Ready The Destroyer teeters on the edge of angular, dissonant indie rock, but never trips over the precipice on ... [Through This] Night. Guitarist/singer Neil[l] Miller always snaps the sweetness into place. He slides his sparkling guitar in "Lifeline" through a simple chord progression during the verses before unleashing a cathartic release in the chorus. The chunky rhythm and elliptical phrasing in the shimmering "Stalemate" snags your ear with a relentlessly catchy hook. (www.readythedestroyer.com)"
"The first thing to notice about the music of Chicago's Ready the Destroyer is that singer Neill Miller's guitar has a lot to say. Some guitarists are technically proficient, but the really good ones are able to give their instruments a voice. Miller's sings ... The instrumental interplay is where the band distinguishes itself, and it's hard to imagine any words or singing that could exude the joy and hope of the bright lead guitar on "Lifeline," which in tone and phrasing does its own little dance on the shoulders of the bass and drums."
-Jeffrey Ignatius, River Cities' Reader, March 25, 2009.
"This is punchy punk the way I've always liked it best: deft, well-played, melodic, and not the least bit simple. This multi-racial (hurrah to that!) Chicago trio work in a fair bit of '80s emo on their debut. too, so they sound younger, less "old school" '77 ramalama. Leader Neill Miller already sounded like a bad ass guitar guy (he plays circles around most) and ballsy singer long before I got a gander at his equally bad-ass afro out of The Mod Squad. Yowsa! Meanwhile, his nondescript looking rhythm section of Aaron Cleall (bass) and Nic Lama (drums) are no slouches in talent quotient, either, holding down a pulsing basis for Miller's stabbing, ripping leads and dangerous rhythm parts. Hard-hitting, serious, and smart, RtD are, like The Soft Boys, ready to destroy you."
-Jack Rabid, Big Takeover, Issue 63
"Ready the Destroyer is a Chicago-based 3-piece in the vein of Built To Spill, Dinosaur Jr, The Afghan Whigs, Fugazi while turning an ear toward Yellow Card, Green Day, etc. Neill Miller (vocal/guitar), Aaron Cleall (bass), and Nicolas Lama (drums) balance the nacent grit of furious rock with a direct melodic approach and build it to the gutpunch in these songs. This is definitely a band to watch out for. They’ve been honing their sound with solid local and regional shows ... Their new CD, Through This Night, was released October 2, 2008 to loyal fans at Reggie’s Rock Club and is now available at cdbaby and elsewhere everywhere."
-Bryan Baker, Discover Sounds/Gajoob
