“IDestroy are extremely easy to like … riotous punk fare explodes into life in a small, sweaty space, with oodles of swagger to boot.”
Kerrang! Magazine
(2000 Trees review)
“IDestroy, love these cats and kittens!”
Huey Morgan
BBC 6 Music
“The lyrical content is such a relatable, universal feeling. A flood of punk energy which makes it an absolute ear worm.”
Tara Kumar
BBC Radio One, Future Artists
IDestroy make their return to the scene with “Sad”, a soaring emo/pop-punk anthem that marks a new chapter for the band. The single introduces a bigger sound, while retaining the directness and energy at the heart of their music.
Now a duo, Bec and Nic are embracing a fresh identity. Drawing on the spirit of 90s and 00s emo and pop punk, “Sad” signals an expansive approach to their sound.
Beneath its anthemic sound, “Sad” explores the distance between telling everyone you’re fine and feeling anything but. It captures the isolation of withdrawing into your own head, recognising that you might need support, and still struggling to reach for it.
“It’s the most honest and vulnerable song I’ve ever written. I was in a really dark place when I wrote it, but it wasn’t until I listened back to the lyrics that I realised just how bad things had gotten. More than anything, I wanted the song to remind people that no matter how low you feel, things can get better. You won’t feel like this forever.” Bec
The accompanying music video (Watch here) turns that internal struggle into a darkly playful world of literal monsters, skeletons and emotional baggage.
“I’m so proud of the music video. In a world that’s obsessed with viral content and rage bait we wanted to create something that we are proud of. Something that our fans can really enjoy and find meaning behind.” Nic
“Sad” arrives ahead of three sold out headline shows this November, giving fans the first opportunity to experience this new chapter live.
