Destroy Boys have returned with a new video for “Should’ve Been Me.” Violet Mayugba of the band notes “Should’ve Been Me is a one-minute embodiment of rage that was formed when I went through a serious breakup. When I found out my ex had been seeing someone else, I screamed like I had never screamed before, and that’s the voice you’re hearing. The video demonstrates my rage and fear for the future battling it out.” The accompanying video personifies the all-encompassing rage. Watch it here. The song follows their previous single “Boyfeel,” a song vocalist Alexia Roditis started writing at 17, where they explore their evolving relationship with gender nonconformity. The album also includes the previously released “Plucked”, “Shadow (I’m Breaking Down) and Beg For The Torture.”

Along with the news, the band recently announced a tour in support of the album. Kicking off October 25th in Seattle, the 22-date tour will hit Portland, Chicago, Detroit, New York, DC and many more. Support on the tour will include Teen Mortgage, Sasami and Chokecherry on select dates.

Funeral Soundtrack #4, is dropping August 9th via Hopeless Records, the LP features Mannequin Pussy and Scowl and was produced by Carlos de la Garza (Paramore, The Linda Lindas, Best Coast). The producer helped highlight their gothier inspirations, including The Smiths, Cocteau Twins, and Siouxsie and the Banshees. “Looking back, our first three albums marked the deaths of things,” says guitarist Violet Mayugba. “They were soundtracks to our funerals, whether they were for our ages or our mental states. We’ve gone through a lot of changes as a band and as people.” Destroy Boys formed in 2015, when founding members Mayugba and Alexia Roditis were just 15 years old, and each release has marked a period of growth and change. “The first one was our high school album,” Mayugba explains. “On the second record, we went to college and were saying goodbye to our childhood. On the third one, we’d just gone through COVID and, speaking for myself, I lost my entire sense of self and gained a new one.”
