Hopeless Records is thrilled to introduce the latest chapter in the evolution of Destroy Boys, as they gear up to release their highly anticipated fourth studio album, Funeral Soundtrack #4, set to drop on August 9, 2024. This album marks a significant milestone in the band’s career, showcasing their ability to blend various influences, from garage punk to 90’s college indie rock, while maintaining the raw energy that has become their signature.
The new album, produced by renowned engineer Carlos De La Garza—known for his work with iconic bands like Bad Religion, Paramore, and The Linda Lindas—captures the essence of Destroy Boys’ ever-evolving sound. The lead single, “Boyfeel,” released in June 2024, is already making waves with its infectious energy and defiant lyrics, setting the tone for the album’s exploration of themes ranging from personal struggle to societal critique. Collaborations on the album include powerful contributions from Missy Dabice of Mannequin Pussy and Kat Moss of Scowl, adding new dimensions to the band’s sonic landscape.
Destroy Boys, originally formed in Sacramento by Alexia Roditis and Violet Mayugba while still in high school, have come a long way since their early days. After releasing two albums independently, they joined Hopeless Records in 2021, where they released the critically acclaimed Open Mouth, Open Heart. The band has consistently pushed the boundaries of punk rock, infusing their music with elements of hardcore, garage rock, and even hints of riot grrrl, though they deliberately distance themselves from being pigeonholed into any single genre.
As Destroy Boys prepares to unleash Funeral Soundtrack #4, Hopeless Records proudly supports their journey of musical innovation and lyrical honesty. This album not only solidifies their place in the punk rock pantheon but also promises to resonate deeply with fans old and new. With its eclectic mix of influences and a fiercely independent spirit, Funeral Soundtrack #4 is set to be a defining release in 2024, further cementing Destroy Boys as one of the most exciting acts in contemporary punk.
