“Destrends take post-punk, punk, and general bloody chaos and serve it up right under your nose, whether you ordered it or not. It’s a magnificent racket, driving and pounding and losing its bloody mind, a glorious mess of vehemence, volume and vim.” Gallery Listen

“Brilliantly twitchy and staring, Destrends pound you over the head and take out your ankles, relentlessly knocking you off balance until you collapse onto the floor with them”

I would like to acknowledge that the gigs that are pictured here, the stages they’re played on, the bars and venues they’re held in, and the good times they represent, are all held on lands that were never ceded by Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I acknowledge these First Australians as the traditional custodians of the continent, whose cultures are among the oldest living cultures in human history. I pay respect to the Elders of the community and extend my recognition to their descendants.
