Gold Coast heavy-hitters The Matador will launch a competition this weekend to coincide with the upcoming release of their new single.

Destroyer’ is marked for release this Sunday and features on the forthcoming studio album of the same name.

Described as “the perfect blend of aggression and melody”, the track is available from 9am AEST, July 6.

In addition, The Matador have created a comp, which gives a fan the chance to win a custom Destroyer guitar/bass cabinet designed and built by guitarist Ryan Creighton.

Everyone who purchases the single from the group’s Bandcamp page between July 6th - August 5th will automatically have the opportunity to win the 2x10” speaker cabinet, which is loaded with Eminence speakers and is rated at 150watts @ 16ohms.

“I am really excited to be launching my own range of custom guitar and bass cabinets, pedal boards and amps, and I thought what better way to launch them than give one away! So buy Destroyer for $2 to be in the running to score a great sounding cab!” Creighton states.
