Destroy Boys brought their 2025 West Coast tour to a sold-out Crescent Ballroom on Saturday, March 28, delivering a blistering night of punk energy alongside openers Farmers Wife and Deux Visages. With compelling lyrics, passionate performances, and an undeniable connection to their audience, the band once again proved why they are redefining modern punk.​​​​​
​Opening the evening was Deux Visages, an independent alternative rock band hailing from Miami. Their sound fused dreamy, romantic vocals with a strong, rebellious edge, creating a unique blend that resonated with rock fans looking for something fresh yet familiar. Following them, central Texas’s Farmers Wife brought an electrifying, mystical energy to the stage. Their set, featuring standout tracks like their latest single "Seethe", as well as "Bleeder" and "Boheme", captured a moody spirit of rebellion that left a lasting impression.​​
Destroy Boys took the stage for an electrifying 90-minute set that never let up. The atmosphere was charged from the moment they launched into their first song, fueled by the mutual energy between the band and the crowd. Vocalists Alexia and guitarist Violet brought an unmatched authenticity to their performance, making an effort to connect with every corner of the room. Highlights included Alexia sitting at the edge of the stage during "Amor Divino", creating a direct and emotional exchange with the audience, and an intimate solo moment during the encore that emphasized the night’s raw spirit.
The setlist was packed with fan favorites, from older anthems like "Muzzle", "Shadow (I’m Breaking Down)", and "I Threw Glass at My Friend’s Eyes and Now I’m on Probation," to newer tracks such as "Plucked," "Boyfeel" and "Beg for the Torture." In a powerful nod to punk’s feminist roots, the band called for a girls- and nonbinary-only mosh pit during "You Hear Yes," echoing Kathleen Hanna’s iconic girls to the front tradition.
​
Destroy Boys’ performance left no doubt: they are a must-see force in today’s punk scene.
