Defeater - Travels

Defeater - Travels, 2008 USA Bridge Nine Records, 2008 Melodic new Hardcore (11 tracks, 68min, CD~EAC~Lame~Mp3@V0, 73MB) ''Boston-based post-hardcore outfit Defeater injects a healthy dose of classic punk fury into their explosive sound. The band's 2008 release, TRAVELS, sustains that fury from start to finish. While TRAVELS is purportedly a concept album that follows a human life through the mid-20th century from birth to death, the real impact of the album is sonic, not narrative. Breakneck crushers like "Everything Went Quiet" and "Forgiver Forgetter" are all pummeling rhythms and throat-shredding vocals, leaving the listener breathless.'' ''Bands like Defeater do not come along often. A truly honest, intense, and dark album based as a narrative story of a man’s life set to a volatile soundtrack of hardcore fury, punk melody and metal technicality. Already getting critical acclaim, Defeater will be the best new band you hear this year.'' Some borrowed descriptions, but everything holds water. This album you just must hear and if you can buy. Don't forget, DEFEATER is playing with Comeback Kid, Have Heart, Rise And Fall and Shipwreck A.D. on 14TH JULY at GALA HALA, Ljubljana! Read MORE about DEFEATER @ Bridge9 Records. Download
