Destroyalldreamers was a Canadian four-piece instrumental post-rock band from Montreal consisting of guitarists Eric Quach and Mathieu Grisé, drummer Shaun Doré and former bassist Michèle Martin. Their sound has often been described as a mix of classic '90's shoegazing with Godspeed You! Black Emperor-like aesthetics.〔(Destroyalldreamers' first album review at Exclaim! ), Retrieved 2010-04-06〕 They released two full-length studio albums, both of them on Montreal's independent record label ''Where Are My Records'' .〔(Band profile on record label's website ), Retrieved 2010-04-05〕 The quartet is known for their extensive use of effects pedals and for mixing elements of shoegaze, wall of sound and post-rock, which has had many fans categorize them as post-shoegaze. Although the group has shown interest in recording new material,〔(Biography from official website ), Retrieved 2010-04-05〕 they have been inactive since 2007 with its members pursuing other projects. ==History== Destroyalldreamers was formed in 2002 by guitarist Eric Quach and drummer Shaun Doré. The name ''Destroyalldreamers'' was taken from a phrase written on the disc of Montreal's influential experimental rock ensemble Thee Silver Mt. Zion's first release "''He Has Left Us Alone but Shafts of Light Sometimes Grace the Corner of Our Rooms...''". The whole inscription reads "''destroy all dreamers w/debt+depression...''". The line-up was soon completed with the addition of guitarist Mathieu Grisé and bassist Michèle Martin, who contributed to Quach's and Doré's early compositions. Within a year, the band's self-titled debut EP "''Destroyalldreamers''" was released. The four-piece went on to record their debut full-length album, the critically acclaimed〔(Tonevendor presentation of EP ''Glare/Halo'' and comment on debut LP ), Retrieved 2010-04-05〕〔(Rank 13 on The Silent Ballet's top instrumental albums of 2004 ), Retrieved 2010-04-06〕 ''À Coeur Léger Sommeil Sanglant'' ()〔The omission of the ligature œ in ''Cœur'' is considered a spelling mistake in French.〕 in 2004, which gained the band recognition on the shoegazing scene and allowed them to contribute to various compilations in 2006, among such artists as Hammock and Eluvium, to name a few. The year of 2006 also saw the band record the EP ''Glare/Halo'', released on Claire's Echo record label, a subsidiary of Clairecord. The EP consists of material that would later be presented on their second album, along with two exclusive compositions. The recording of their second full-length album, entitled ''Wish I Was All Flames'', was completed in the fall of 2006, but its release was put on hold until the fall of 2007 due to bassist Michèle Martin's departure from the group. Maxime Racicot, a close friend of the remaining members, replaced Martin for live performances which supported the release of the sophomore full-length. On October 21, 2007 a live show, which served as the album launch, was recorded at ''Divan Orange'', a popular independent Montreal music venue. A blog entry on the band's myspace page on December 16, 2009 stated that this recording had been made available as a free download.〔(Myspace blog entry announcing online availability of live album ), Retrieved 2010-04-06〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Destroyalldreamers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
