Destroy Boys had a pretty quick come-up, getting a shout out from Billie Joe Armstrong in Rolling Stone before they were even out of high school. Now, two records later, the Sacramento riot grrrl trio are pretty established in the scene, dropping the one-off single “Fences” at the beginning of the year to a quickly blossoming fanbase.
This morning they’ll be following that track up with another one-off release: “Honey I’m Home” heightens its predecessor’s viscous bite and matches it’s theme of frustrated constriction. “[It] was written at a time in my life where I felt mentally trapped on all sides,” shares guitarist Vi Mayugaba. “I was boxed in by everything around me. Even though there were no physical restraints keeping me from escaping my situation, I couldn’t bring myself to leave. I was able to free myself a few months back, and now the song is more of a redemption song than anything. No more bars on the window, freaky cliff metaphors, et cetera. It’s a perfect quarantine anthem, considering we are all trapped at home.”
Stream the track below. DBs were set to tour with Against Me! this year—hopefully those shows will eventually get rescheduled.
