about
Honoring their confusing name, contradiction has become the trademark of this up and coming band from Holland. To create a sound of their own the five-piece band skillfully demolished the walls between hip hop, jazz, funk, rock and reggae music. Sultry like a warm summer at times; but always pumping, roaring, and exuberant when performed live on stage. Destructive Penguins' debut EP Walkin’, released independently in February 2016 after a successful crowdfunding campaign, mainly showcased the band's live reputation and was well received among fans in Holland with plenty shows countrywide as a result. Their latest release High/Low EP (Februari 2017) has been produced with the help of Oscar de Jong (Kraak & Smaak) and reveals a more mature sound with deeper lyrics and smarter arrangements. High/Low definitely underlines the potential and ambition of this young band. Opening track High On The Low sets the tone with a solid summer vibe and pictures the downside of being an artist. The second track Numb then takes you on a trip through the mind of a young man who tries to reconnect with his lost feelings. An even more relaxed jazzy vibe in Dollar shows a J.Dilla-like track which contains a critical view on money in this world. Closing with New Generation, Destructive Penguins revisit their energetic and raw side that they so very much love to display on stage.
