It’s not often that we get the chance to offer a 15-piece gypsy punk mob to you. But that’s what The Destroyers are, and they provide the latest Track Of The Day. Check out all the Tracks Of The Day.

From Birmingham, the band are fronted by Irish singer-songwriter Paul Murphy, the band are inspired by Eastern Europe folk music, gothic um-pah (we’re not making this up!) and general bohemia. Their full line-up is:

Aaron Diaz – Trumpet
Dan O’Connell – Drums
Dan Wilkins – Electric Guitar
Dave Adams – Accordion/Piano
Frank Moon – Bass
Gaz Jones – Clarinet
Jamie Fekete – Acoustic Guitar
Leighton Hargreaves – Violin
Leo Altarelli – Trumpet/Lead Vocals
Louis Robinson – Violin
Mark Davis – Tuba
Max Gittinngs – Flutes
Mick Howson – Hurdy Gurdy
Paul Murphy – Lead Vocals
Rich Shrewsbury – Trombone

Over the past few years, they’ve played at Glastonbury, Bestival, The Barbican Centre in London and the South Bank Festival. On September 11, they return to London to play Wilton’s Music Hall, with Leo Altarelli and Abie’s Ragtime Miracle Tonic. Tickets cost £12.

To get you in the mood, here’s Where Has The Money Gone?, which was originally the B-side of the single Out Of Babel, but is now being given its own niche; incidentally Out Of Babel is also the title of the band’s current album. Says Murphy of the song: “Although this song is set against the backdrop of Wall Street, our video uses the iconic Canary Wharf to draw the parallel and reinforce the point that the fault lines from this financial scandal reach deep into our own economic life and the question remains: where has the money gone?”
