Destroy to Create is the first full-length release from The Flatliners. After signing to Stomp Records, the album was subsequently rereleased on the label, and once again reissued on vinyl by Fat Wreck Chords in 2012. Musically, the album differs from the band's subsequent releases and features mostly fast Ska punk songs.

    • Trivia

  • A hidden acoustic track, What The Hell Happened To You, appears 1:58 after Do or Die ends while on the independent release it is after the track Pickin' at my Brain. The hidden track also includes a scripted argument between the band mates that quickly deteriorates and is ended with "Paul, save all of this, we're putting it before...".
  • Scumpunch! is a play on the name Rum Punch, a book later made into the movie Jackie Brown by Quentin Tarantino. The song begins with an excerpt from the film Reservoir Dogs.
