Here to Destroy is the second studio album by British punk rock group Split Dogs, comprising Harry Atkins, Mil Martinez, Suez Boyle and Chris Hugall.[2] It was released on 28 February 2025 via Venn Records in LP, CD and digital formats.[3] The recording process of the album occurred over a period of three days.[1] "Precious Stones" was released as a single on 6 November 2024,[4] alongside a music video directed by Chris Hugall.[5]
Louder Than War's Nathan Brown remarked, "The new album from Split Dogs has a punk pulse in its stripped back rock and roll and garage attack. Nathan Brown predicts we will hear more from this Bristol outfit."[3] Katie Bird of Distorted noted Here to Destroy as "a strong album by a new and exciting name in rock music," stating that "the high energy and fast pace of the album keeps the audience engaged, and although sometimes the songs blend into each other, especially near the start."[2]
The album received a 4/5 score from Kerrang!, whose reviewer Olly Thomas commented, "The songs on Here to Destroy pile into each other to form a non-stop blast of raucous energy, providing a parallel to their hard-gigging, no-nonsense approach to the business of being in a band."[6] In her review for Clash with a rating of eight, Susan Hansen referred to the album as "an honest and hard-hitting, back-to-basics for rock" and "an all-consuming record that is impossible to forget, it lingers, with great intent."[1]
