Destroy 2 (sometimes called Eye & Chew) was a short-lived Japanese noise rock band. Consisting of only two members, Yamantaka Eye of Boredoms (vocals) and Chew Hasegawa of Corrupted (drums), they released one infamous recording in 1996 called We Are Voice and Rhythm Only. This was actually a live recording of a concert in Osaka done as a support for Brutal Truth on their Japanese tour in February 1995.[1] Running for little over 10 minutes, it nevertheless features 48 songs, the longest of which is "24H?" at a runtime of 39 seconds. The structure of the songs typically consists of Eye introducing the track title, Hasegawa playing his part with Eye performing over it, and Eye closing the track with "Thank you!" The album includes two cover versions: "Beastie Boys" (from the 1982 Beastie Boys EP Pollywog Stew) and "Nazi Punks Fuck Off!" (originally by Dead Kennedys), although the songs have been reduced to one verse and one chorus to fit into 18 and 17 seconds, respectively.
