Destruct-a-thon reunited after a 2-year hiatus for the release of their full length, 14 song disc "Es Muerto" (2001-2004), which was part of the Workaholica Box Set. What started off as just being some old friends getting together to play 3 or 4 shows to promote the newly released material, quickly became a full fledged assault on the East Coast underground music scene. Performing around their usual New England haunts, the band also made a few trips back to New York City and secured a new cult following in our nation’s capital of Washington, D.C.Audiences were left either in absolute fear or crazed enthusiasm at the band's on-stage performances. Michele Morgan’s furious guitar riffs and sultry vocals, Eric O’Brien’s hybrid drumming of total groove and fast paced insanity, Sean Linehan’s low end attack on the bass, and Duncan Wilder Johnson’s “mental patient on crack” stage presence left audience members slack-jawed.

Destruct-a-thon’s “Aloha Jihad” EP is 2 new songs, 1 cover, and 2 bonus tracks.It was tracked and mixed at New Alliance in Cambridge, with His Majesty Ethan Dussault (God.Fires.Man., The Lot Six, Smoke or Fire, Everybody Out!) and mastered by Nick Zampiello (Dropkick Murphy's, Torche, Campaign For Real Time, Against Me, Cave In, Converge) at New Alliance East. The two new originals on the record, “Aloha Jihad” and “Consume With Incisor”, hearken back to their Hardcore Punk roots while their last record, “Es Muerto”, spoke a lot from their Thrash and Stoner Rock background. The song "Aloha Jihad” is a blistering 2 minutes and 33 second tirade against the Bush Administration. “Consume With Incisor” is another fast as hell, in your face song about love gone wrong using the metaphor that all great metal songs are based upon: Satan.“Heart Attack” is a cover song originally by Long Island based post hardcore band Bravado. Bravado called it quits in 2003 and Destruct-a-thon played a bunch of shows in New York and Boston with them.

In the summer of 2007, D-thon played in Brooklyn, NY with two new bands, which were spawned in Bravado’s wake. For their finale, Destruct-a-thon launched into “Heart Attack”. This came as a surprise to the ex-Bravado guys and the place went off with the people jumping on stage and doing the back-up vocals! That sealed the deal for Destruct-a-thon to record their version of the song.

Saturday's show starts at 9 with Rampant Decay followed by Sicker Than Most and Mob Hit (ex members of Wargasm). Destruct-a-Thon will close. Tickets: $9.
