Sometimes, we get worried that intelligent guitar rock is fading into the distance as computerized pop garbage from D-List celebrities seems to slime up to the forefront of music (ahem). It’s really scary when this happens. Like, terrifying. But then, there are bands like Phoenix’s Destruction Unit, who of come around and save the day without even really trying.Destruction Unit makes music that's all odd ball vocals and an army of swirling, repetitive guitars that infect your blood stream like a mitt full of morphine. D-Unit is a warm wave of desert rock. It’s other-worldly, simple, and satisfying. Check out the new single, “Sonic Pearl,” off their forthcoming EP on Suicide Squeeze Records, Two Strong Hits, and hold out for their full-length LP on Sacred Bones in late August.Destruction Unit is also going on tour, pretty much everywhere and with everyone (Milk Music, Merchandise, and other bands of noted talent), so check the dates below.05-18 Tempe, AZ - Yucca Tap Room
