The Sacramento Punks Destroy Boys have finally released their long-awaited fourth album via Hopeless Records today. It was produced by Carlos de la Garza (known for producing Haley Williams solo alum, The Linda Linda’s, mixing for The Wonder Years, and so on. Impressive resumé) and features Mannequin Pussy and Scowl on the single "‘You Hear Yes,’ and explore their evolving relationship with gender non-conformity.
Talking further about the album, guitarist Violet Mayugba says, “Looking back, our first three albums marked the deaths of things,” adding, “They were soundtracks to our funerals, whether they were for our ages or our mental states. We’ve gone through a lot of changes as a band and as people.” Destroy Boys in 2015, and throughout the years, the band has marked their growth with each album phase; “The first one was our high school album,” Violet Mayugba explains, “On the second record, we went to college and were saying goodbye to our childhood. On the third one, we’d just gone through COVID and, speaking for myself, I lost my entire sense of self and gained a new one.”
The band has also recently announced a North American tour in support of the album, which is kicking off on October 25th and will be supported by Teen Mortgage, Sasami, and Chokecherry on selected dates. And if that’s not enough, don’t worry, Europe, they have some festival appearances coming up too. And if that isn’t enough, Destroy Boys are also supporting The Offspring in Luxemburg.
