Interview with Boy Destroy
b'We had the pleasure of interviewing Boy Destroy over Zoom video!
Swedish rising alt-star\\xa0Boy Destroy\\xa0releases his debut EP,\\xa0Warpaint, via his own independent label,\\xa0Loyalty Obsession.
Warpaint\\xa0is a multi-hued chronicle, showcasing Boy Destroy\'s genre-bending prowess; influenced by \'90s alternative rock which soundtracked his teens, as well as delving into legacy artists like Jeff Buckley and Joni Mitchell, alongside modern emo and trap. The opening, title-track serves as a stellar introduction, addressing scars and the digital apathy of young lives, fusing into "You Don\\u2019t Want Me When I\\u2019m Sober" which juxtaposes vulnerable lyricism, addressing addiction with infectious pop sensibilities, commanding trap beats, and punk guitar hooks. \\u201cFavourite" sees Boy Destroy toy with acoustic guitar for a sample heavy slow jam that\\u2019s simultaneously commanding and sensual, indulging in primal instincts and putting your life on the devil\'s altar. The confessional "As Time Goes By" follows, supported by poignant keys and static trap beats, as "Beautiful Crimes" shines vibrantly in a nostalgic alt-R&B meets emo ditty, where Boy Destroy confesses the part he played in a toxic relationship. The EP culminates with the transgressive swaggering shoegaze pop of "Lights Out," yearning in life\\u2019s fleeting moments.
In just under a year Boy Destroy has firmly solidified his unique identity within alternative music with a trailblazing approach to the genre, quickly securing support from\\xa0BBC Radio 1\\u2019s Jack Saunders\\xa0who after several plays made debut single \\u201cWarpaint" his\\xa0\'Tune of the Week\\u2019\\xa0stating, \\u201cBoy Destroy really has a handle on big time pop music in 2020 with that real strong trap beat that glides over the top of the very lonely flux grunge guitar line. The lyrics are just stunning.\\u201d\\xa0Rock Sound Magazine\\xa0described the single as. \\u201ca display of raw creativity and beautiful darkness that promises great things to come," and\\xa0Alternative Press\\xa0included him in their\\xa0\\u201850 New Artists You Need To Hear\\u2019\\xa0column proclaiming, \\u201cAdd \\u2018Warpaint\\u2019 and \\u2018As Time Goes By\\u2019 to your playlists and you\\u2019ll be able to say you heard Boy Destroy before he blew up with the 2021 release of his debut EP\\u201d, alongside securing further fans with\\xa0Apple Music Radio 1,\\xa0Wonderland,\\xa0Upset Magazine,\\xa0Discovered Magazine\\xa0and\\xa0Gigwise.
