This Will Destroy You

With a moniker like This Will Destroy You and a home-base in San Marcos, TX, I was expecting some cacophonous mess of unlistenable post-hardcore music. I’m glad I was wrong, and I’m sure Texas is too…they don’t need any more second rate screamo bands. Conversely, TWDY is an instrumental four piece with a penchant for beautiful, lush atmospherics (along the lines of Explosions in the Sky, the Six Parts Seven, Unwed Sailor – to name a few favorites). I only just happened upon the band a couple of months ago when I chanced some of their tracks on eMusic. Fantastic find. The preview track is from the band’s most recent release self titled disc available through Magic Bullet Records.
