Little Destroyer return with their new album 1134, a blistering collection of songs that see them at their dramatic grunge-pop best.
The Vancouver based outfit is a tight knit trio of creative powerhouses; vocalist, bassist and songwriter Allie Sheldan, and the brothers Weiss – multi-instrumentalist Chris, and drummer Michael. The three are industry veterans, with the scars to prove it. No stranger to the exploitations of the music industry, nor the house of cards upon which it is built, Little Destroyer have a litany of almost chances, near misses, and lawyer invoices strewn behind them. A break was needed and the last two years provided the breathing space to reassess and realign.
Back with a new team in the female-led Tiny Kingdom, it’s a clean slate for the band and one they’re keen to move forward with. Working alongside JUNO Award winning producer Howard Redekopp (Mother Mother, Tegan and Sara, The New Pornographers), the band has excised any remaining demons, returning with a new offering that is part cathartic release and part raucous reclamation of their musical identity.
1134 signals a new intention for the band, a conscious decision to shift away from the meat grinder side of the music industry and toward a way of working and creating that sees the self honoured and freak flags flown high. Little Destroyer is proof that creating a pop-punk blitzkrieg is just as much about love and connection, as it is spit and spectacle. It’s great to have them back.
A highly energized and emotional wreck on stage, Mauvey’s goal is to create and generate love, both on and off stage. Born in Ghana, West Africa, Mauvey grew up in the UK and Vancouver, Canada. An artist, performer and songwriter, Mauvey creates his own unique sound and style of alternative pop music, with reflective influences of Michael Jackson, Kanye West, Oumou Sangaré, Prince, and Labrinth.
