THIS WILL DESTROY YOU Splits Into Two Bands

Here’s a new one – This Will Destroy You has split into two bands.

According to a statement by This Will Destroy You, founding guitarists Jeremy Galindo and Christopher King are going their separate ways. Both will tour as This Will Destroy You with two different lineups playing different material each night. It’s unclear if the two bands will tour together or if either project will be called This Will Destroy You in the future, as the statement only notes “both will release new music under separate project names in the future.”

So yeah, This Will Destroy You hasn’t exactly broken up, but they also haven’t not broken up. It’s a confusing one.

“After years of collaboration, Jeremy Galindo and Christopher King have decided to pursue their own creative endeavors, focusing on solo, collaborative, and compositional work,” wrote This Will Destroy You on their Instagram.

“As they embark on these new ventures, both Galindo and King will continue to honor their roots by touring globally with two distinct lineups of This Will Destroy You. Each lineup will perform different material from the TWDY catalog during their respective tours and shows, and both will release new music under separate project names in the future.

“Christopher King will be performing with Jesse Kees and Robi Gonzalez, who were instrumental in the creation of New Others Part 1 and 2. They will be joined by multi-instrumentalist, Masaru Takaku. Jeremy Galindo will be touring with Johnnie McBryde, Nicholas Huft, and Ethan Billips.

“Tour dates for both groups will be announced soon, so keep an eye out for them! Thank you for your understanding and continued support.”
