[edit] History
[edit] Early years
Twin brothers John & Marc Beaudette formed Destroy Babylon with their friend Chris Moran the summer of 2001 before attending college. They began writing Dub music with punk roots, but also covered many Bad Brains songs. Over the next four years, very little was accomplished by the band, as all three members attended different schools throughout New England.
[edit] Present
Since graduating and relocating to Allston, MA in 2005, DB has played throughout Metro-Boston and beyond at such venues as The Middle East, Harper's Ferry, and TT the Bear's. They have shared the stage with various acts ranging from Boston Hardcore veterans Superpower to UK Legends The English Beat.
