Destitute

Foxcore/Punk band from Portland, Oregon.

Destitute was formed when sisters Ali & Violet met Daniel in 2006. Although they all had different musical tastes, they all shared a love of one thing, making music. Their heartfelt lyrics and very convincing screams are backed by either raw punk riffs and fast drums or almost haunting melodies. Both girls take turns confessing tales about lost loves, drugs, betrayal, social issues and the need for gender equality. After a year off for personal reasons, Ali & Violet are back with their demo titled 'Left for Dead' to be released in early 2010.

Reviews

GUTTER GLITTER (UK):

"In a similar vein to earlier Riot grrrl bands like Heavens to betsy, Huggy bear & Bikini kill, Destitute are for a change an actual riot grrrl band (none of this sounding exactly like The donnas stuff!). New demos "Anti" & "Scarification" are rough demos at the moment but you still get the feel of the songs directions. "Anti" is the stronger of the two tracks imagine a crossover between Bikini kill & the early drumming of Jack off jill & your probably close."


KINDERDOLLIES (US):

"Reining from Portland, Oregon Destitute is a riot grrrl/bitchcore masterpiece. With Violet [bass/vocals], Ali [vocals/guitar] and Daniel [drums]. This trio seems to have a bit of something for everyone. From the rough tell no lies, Anti, to the more mellow Junkies For Jesus, this band never fails to please. They've been on covers and inside of indie zines over the world [as far as argentina!] and their success is no surprise. A secret this good couldn't stay hidden forever."
