Enjoy Destroy
Enjoy Destroy released their debut album 'Little Dreams' in March of 2008 the reviews were unanimously glowing as the British rock press hailed the Hampshire quartet as successors to the likes of Foo Fighters and Biffy Clyro. Here was a band who had been quietly honing their craft since their early teen years and, now with some members barely hitting the big 2-0, had a Grant Nicholas (Feeder) produced LP under their belts and the world at their feet. Enjoy Destroy, having had made their album and hit the road supporting bands like Glaswegian noise monsters Flood Of Red, metallers Alter Bridge, Juliette and The Licks, and even The Subways, began to realise a few things, like perhaps 'Little Dreams' wasn't what the band was about. Starry-eyed about the Feeder frontman on the desk, the band's young years and self-confessed naivety meant that they took a back seat during production, leading Freddie to admit that though they loved the material, it had steered them away from their true path. During their months on the road watching their headliners from the floor alongside the punters, Enjoy Destroy learned a few lessons about stage presence and connecting with the audience. They proved themselves fast learners, garnering excellent reviews for their own headline tour and finding that their audience now included 16 year old girls who had seen them play with Elliot Minor, without doubt swayed also by the chiselled features and lithe on-stage charms of Freddie Armstrong, but also the head banging fans from the Reuben and Alter Bridge camps. Now a formidable threat with their live shows, which included stage invasions and furious air-guitar medleys from appreciative metallers in amongst the screams from the in-thrall front rows, there was only one thing remaining and that was, of course, capturing this step up musically...
