Destruction Unit – “The World On Drugs”
Arizona’s Destruction Unit are good with the titles. This is a song called “The World On Drugs,” from an album called Deep Trip, by a band called Destruction Unit. That is exactly what the fuck this sounds like. I wrote a bunch about Destruction Unit last month, when we saw the video for their similarly rad (and also perfectly monikered) non-album track “Sonic Pearl.” That clip emerged when the band had just begun a tour with Milk Music and Merchandise; that tour wrapped up last week, just in time for the band’s forthcoming full-length debut to make some noise of its own. “The World On Drugs” is the first track to emerge from Deep Trip and it kills shit dead.
