  • Bio

    "It's somewhat reassuring that something so creative and brilliant can come out of an accident." - Adi Anand, Austinist.com.... "That dance-pop group ’Til We’re Blue Or Destroy is only now releasing its debut album feels like a clerical error: After all, the band—led by songwriter Will Rhodes—has been a staple on the Austin club circuit for nearly five years now, swelling from Rhodes’ solo studio project to a sprawling ensemble that encompassed nine members at its peak and racked up a considerable following. But the years between the self-titled record’s conception and its completion (with local über-producer Erik Wofford at the helm) have been well spent building a reputation as one of the city’s best-kept secrets, and now TWBOD finds itself in the rare position of releasing an album of songs that scores of fans already know by heart." Sean Oneal, Decider.com.... "The phrase "too many cooks spoil the broth" does not apply to Til We're Blue or Destroy. The nine-member act can barely fit on stage, but manage to deliver succinct vocals with a funky electric backdrop. Overflowing with genuine happiness to be performing, Til We're Blue maintained bouncing energy throughout songs like "Crazy Tigers" and "Love in a Coma. The strange combination of brass, tambourine, piano and voice decoder was executed with full quality and beaming resonance. Despite an early set time and some hella winds, this eclectic entourage belted out charming pieces from the bottom of their hearts. -Candace Birkelbach, Austinist.com.... "...Til We’re Blue Or Destroy are one of the groups that stand out from the pack. Whether they’re charging in with guitar-driven rock and melody or their appealing to the sample-loving, electro-pop addicts, Til We’re Blue never do it half-assed. This group of nine layer on the sound until you’d think it couldn’t take any more, and then they add more. But, strangely it doesn’t sound bloated. Plus, they have a great knack for loosening ties and packing the dance floor."- Austinist.com.... “Over the past year, ‘Til We’re Blue or Destroy have gained an increasingly strong following with their live shows...The group’s songs take advantage of the versatility of the large lineup...Given the talent onstage, ‘Til We’re Blue or Destroy manage to produce amazingly coherent and intricately balanced songs...” - Austinsound.net.... "If I had any pull in the music industry, these guys and every one of their 20 individual solo bands would be signed to Merge or something and they'd be touring the country like they need to do so that everyone can see easily one of the best live shows in america right now. Like up there with BSS and the Arcade Fire, and I'm not saying that hyperbolically. I waited for this self-released debut all year, and it captures them fairly well - it's nothing compared to the live show, but enough to get you roped in, and "Don't Ever Let Those Bastards Win" is a timeless classic and "All Shook Up" is just achingly beautiful in its chorus and simplicity."-Rick Webb, COO and cofounder of the Barbarbian Group.
