7/23/03 Show News !!! We're sharing a bill with with THE LIVING JARBOE (x-SWANS vocalist) on August 21st , and the WORMWOOD show has been moved from the Pontiac Grill to SPACE in West Philly. The IMPRACTICAL COCKPIT show on the 28th of July is cancelled. Also, apologies to anyone who came to see us at the STRIPMALL SEIZURES show this past Monday Night. We opted not to perform, due to time constraints and the number of out of town bands squeezed onto the flyer. Anyone who left early because of this missed great music and a truly fantastic time, though. As always, see the SHOWS section for more information. Recording News Recording the ABIKU/MYLES OF DESTRUCTION 7" has been a bit of a nightmare, but we're all still determined and hammering away at it. As of tonight, ABIKU's side is complete, and all of the MoD instrument tracks are down and the artwork is assembled. We'll keep you posted as everything else developes...

5/29/03 A couple of new REVIEWS have been added, including a really surprising one from Metal Maniacs!
5/15/03 So..we're back from our second tour. It was another thoroughly enjoyable experience. We had a great time, played a series of very chaotic fun shows with incredible bands, saw old friends, made quite a few new ones, walked on the beach, pedaled a dragonhead boat through the murky disgusting waters of baltimore, drank too much, ate well, barely slept, fought laryngitis, adopted a stray kitten hiding on a car muffler, broke some equipment and managed sell a decent amount of merchandise somewhere along the line. Thanks so much to everyone who helped make it happen! There will be a massive amount of updating soon.. Until then, we've got another two SHOWS coming up (one matinee in DC and one bar show in PA), followed by a short break to write new material..then who knows what.. Oh yeah. Hovering in the photo on the left is our brand new logo. Our friend the amazing Tim Garside drew it and he did a fantastic job. You have our permission to go tattoo it onto your forehead now!
4/15/03 Myles of Destruction were just added as the opening band for WKDU's AUDIO ENTROPY FEST on Thursday, April 24th. The Show is FREE , the bands are awesome, please come check it out!
3/29/03 Two New Shows and Additional Tour information are up in the SHOWS section. The Split 7" with Abiku isn't going to be available until after tour. At this point, we're looking more realistically at the end of the summer as a release date. but fear not, dear fans, it is on it's way... UPCOMING COMPILATIONS Look for new MoD tracks (from our short winter recording session) on a couple of different compilations this summer. "King of Broken Things" will be on DEEP SIX RECORDS' "Reality Part 5" Compilation, "Veterans of The Spider Wars" will be on VD RECORDS' next release and a revamped version of the old one man band era song "Ghost" will be on Andee from TUMULT RECORDS' Wedding Compilation! On a final somewhat random note, a Swedish underground hardcore label called CRUST O HARDCORE is re-releasing a couple of MoD songs as part of a 6 way International Split Cassette . Other bands on the Mini Compilation include CHAKKAMEN (Japan), XSANGRE JOVENX (Guatemala), NESHAMAH (South Africa), KURWA APARATA (Austria),and DEMURE (US). For those interested, it's available now for $3.00 off of their WEBSITE .
2/1/03 WOW...allot of stuff to fill you in on.. UPCOMING SPLIT 7" WITH ABIKU YEEEEAH!!! Much to our complete surprise and joy, a label finally gave us the time of day and offered to release a record for us! WORLDEATER RECORDS is a new Metal/Punk Label from West Philly and they'll be in charge of our next release, hopefully to be available at shows on our May tour. The record will be a vinyl 7" and MOD will be joining forces with ABIKU , an abrasive coed two piece darkwave band that transformed a recent Upper Darby bar rock show into a violent smoke filled rave! This will definitely be an odd, disturbing and strange listen..not to mention 100% guitar free! MAY TOUR WITH NINJA DEATH SQUAD We've had a real lucky streak going lately, and in that spirit our friends NINJA DEATH SQUAD from Vermont offered to take us with them on a week of their tour! See SHOWS for the dates! PHOTOS FROM THE OUTDOOR HALLOWEEN SHOW have been added. Also a live shot and short writeup from the benefit put on by the Rotundra. Take a look at them HERE New reviews of "Running Only Makes The Fire Worse" have also been added HERE .

(information on ordering this release will be posted soon.)
6/10/02 this weekend we recorded a live performance on WFMU 91.1 FM . extreme thanks goes out to terre for being such a great host and having us. for those interested, our somewhat chaotic, sound problem ridden but otherwise fun set and interview will broadcast and become available for download on June 28th...enjoy? also, some new SHOWS have been added. recording news we completed the mixing for our new cd last week. we are all amazed with the sound of it. this is by far the greatest recording we've completed to date and it will definitely turn some heads. the title we've settled on is "Running Only Makes The Fire Worse" and artwork is currently being put together for it. now all we just have to figure out how to afford to get this thing pressed..help?
6/6/02 CHANGE IN MAIL ADDRESS take note: our contact info has changed. from now on, please direct all non-email to: MYLES OF DESTRUCTION P.O. BOX 42673 PHILADELPHIA, PA 19101
5/30/02 IMPORTANT we just found out we were kicked off the PURE HELL benefit at the balcony tomorrow night, so if you were going to see us, don't bother. we're not entirely sure why we were dropped, but from what we can piece together,it was the resulting combination of an over crowded bill and the promoter suspecting that our weird little band is out to inflict literal damage on the place. who knows where they got that idea from.. *blink, blink* at any rate, we have a bunch of other dates coming up, so check out the SHOWS section for info there..
5/4/02 finally added some photos HERE please let us know if you've taken any yourself. we came back from tour with out any live shots..

WFMU is an independent freeform radio station broadcasting at 91.1 fm in the New York City area, at 90.1 fm in the Hudson Valley, and live on the web in Realaudio. recording news so recording got pushed back some, courteousy of 8th Street music lieing to us/not bothering to order our reels when we asked them to. (fuck that place. we should have known better than to patronize the one music store most of philadelphia hates for a good reason..) at any rate, this past weekend we completed all the instrumental tracks and we're already proud and impressed as hell with the results. as always, check back here for more updates...

3/15/02 phew. the "DOOM TOWN 2002" tour was a huge success. we spent 10 days playing shows, sold out of merchandise, met some really fantastic human beings, had an insane amount of fun and became a much more powerful unit ourselves. thanks so much to everyone who helped make it possible. recording news during the first week of april, the band will go back into the studio to record a full length with darren of STENDHAL . we are still looking for a label to help us release this cd. more to come...
