DESTRUCTORS - Cry Havoc And Unleash The Dogs Of War 12'' 1983

Great 12Inch by The Destructors, a punk rock band from Peterborough/England which were founded by former 6ck 6ck 6ck members Allen (vocals), Phil (guitar) and Dip (bass) and various drummers including Steve and Dave and were active 1977–1979 then 1980 until 1984. This six track record was released via Criminal Damage Records and is absolutely brilliant, reminds me very much of the early UK anarcho punk bands and the musical highlight is the version of I Wanna Be Your Dog, in my opinion the best I know. And also the rest shines out far beyond the usual monotonous early hardcore. - The band was resurrected again in 2006 as Destructors 666, with former members Adams, Dave and Steve ex of The Now joined by new members Steve Crosby and Lee Reynolds. Steve Crosby walked out of the studio one night and was never heard from again. Lee Reynolds left the band due to recording commitments with The 925's. Crosby and Reynolds were replaced by Ian (bass) and Rob (drums). In 2009 the band returned to the original name of the Destructors. Their current album, Politika II, came out in 2015 and more will follow so keep an eye out.
