   About The Destroyers
WE ARE...

THE DESTROYERS are a 15 piece group based in Birmingham UK. A mix of recovering escapees from Birmingham's Conservatoire and musical firebrands from the Midlands, the band are a sight to behold.
Fired by the energy of Eastern European music, The Destroyers diversify and build upon traditional arrangements, whilst remaining true to the roots of their influences.

You’re on Brumcast 100 ‘A Celebration’, This behemoth of a show features 50 tracks from Midlands based bands that have been played previously in one of the last 99 shows. Its not a 'Best of Brumcast' and the tracks are in no particular order. This is a (big) slice of some of the tracks that have given me much pleasure over the last 2 years. Some very difficult decisions were made in selecting the tracks for this landmark show. Please promote/plug/whore it!

THIS SATURDAY IN BRUM
Fresh from their mammoth tour with The Beat, THE HEELS are back again doing their Ska thang with support from new local dub outfit SUBSTRATE on their debut and some dirty folkers called THE BALSALL HEATHENS who are the bastard lovechild of GBH (Jock on acoustic guitar) and Cupid Stunt (Samuendo on violoin). If none of that grabs you then get back in yer coffin.
DJ Christy will be filling in the gaps.
