This Will Destroy You Tour Dates & Free Mp3 of the First New Single

This Will Destroy You to Kick Off US Tour

Gives You a Taste of Their “Communal Blood,”

FREE Mp3 of the First Single off

Their New Album, Tunnel Blanket

“This Will Destroy You use their instruments expertly to create a brooding anxiety that threatens to erupt at any moment.” - Pitchfork

“Texas quartet This Will Destroy You has woven a variety of influences into unique post-rock instrumental sound that is turning up in a variety of places, from movie trailers to the Pentagon.” – AOL Spinner


If they haven’t already destroyed you, Texas post-rockers This Will Destroy You, will do just that. After conquering Europe with their cinematic brand of post-rock, the quartet — comprised of with a line-up of guitarists Chris King and Jeremy Galindo, bassist/keys Donovan Jones and drummer Alex Bhore — returned to the U.S. newly invigorated. They went straight to the studio and began recording their much-anticipated album, Tunnel Blanket, with critically acclaimed producer John Congleton (Explosions in the Sky, Modest Mouse, Chairlift). The Congleton sessions found the band taking an evolutionary step forward from their previous release, S/T. The end result, Tunnel Blanket, explores darker, more challenging territories than their previous releases.

Performing new material from
Tunnel Blanket, This Will Destroy You is heading on the road this summer. Kicking off in their home state of Texas on May 26th, the band will perform a series of dates on the East Coast and in the South. Interested in a taste of the band before catching This Will Destroy You live? Try their “
Communal Blood,” for you to post and share. They will also be bringing the 12” single of “Communal Blood,” a limited (500) album pressing that will only be available at concerts.
