The Destroyers need a re-brand
Birmingham based band The Destroyers are looking for someone to re-brand their image to co-inside with the release of their first full album. The 15 piece band have recently collaborated on a composition with The Dohl Blasters for the re-opening of Birmingham Town Hall, and have also been commissioned by Flatpack Festival to create new works for a celebration of cinema pioneer Waller Jeffs, to be premiered at the opening of the the festival at the Town Hall.
The Destroyers certainly are an eclectic bunch, drawing influences from a range of traditions: klezma, mariachi, ska, bhangra, Balkan Brass, celtic folk, gypsy jazz, and flamenco. The new branding will need to reflect this.

I love and adore The Destroyers, but there isn’t half something depressing about bands being concerned with ‘branding’.
As far as I can tell, George Thorogood is still performing, so alas, the wonderful name “The Destroyers” is already taken.
And as long as Im commenting, I thought of you when I saw this article about the banning of apostrophes in Birmingham, which appeared in my home newspaper, the Star-Tribune Newspaper of the Twin Cities (S.T.N.O.T.T.C.).
