Defiance, Ohio's new album due out early December

Contributed by eran_zombis. Posted by Justin on Saturday, November 10, 2007 at 2:55 PM (EST)

Defiance, Ohio's The Fear, The Fear, The Fear has gotten a release date of December 4th. You can currently pre-order the LPs and CDs and the band is expecting to post an official download of the album on that date as well.

In their recent update on the album's status the band hints at the fact that even when a band is going to give an album for free, people still jump the gun and upload the album to others early.

This album is the followup to the critically appreciated The Great Depression.

Fuck you guys, I'm going to support these guys and buy this... or at least support No Idea because I like what they do

Already pre-ordered the LP. I'd get the CD but it doesn't seem to make much sense if it's going up for free download. I'm really happy that relationships like this and Bomb the Music Industry!/Asian man Records exist. It's really amazing that a band will give away their music and a label will put out a physical product.

A few months ago, I learned that the quickest way to turn a group of bike punks against you is to tell them that this is not the greatest band in the world.

That being said, they do have some really sweet songs every now and then.

The cd is pretty awesome, I've been listening to it a lot. The List is an awesome song.

I totally agree, The List is an incredible song and the album is everything I hoped it would be.

I'm ordering the LP next time I have money. Hopefully soon. This album is great.

Pretty decent band, but it seems to me that most of the "bike punx" that cling to this band so hard do so because D,OH is what they wanted AM! to be. I dunno, just sayin'....

i was just about to ask that same question, man ...

Basically the most DIY punk kids I know, except maybe the crust kids. They basically don't use cars (only bikes), they mainly listen to folk punk, and they're big on environmental stuff. Oh, and they hate anything even remotely resembling major labels. I've known kids who wouldn't buy Propagandhi albums because they released their stuff on Fat Wreck. Seriously. Fat Wreck was too much for them. Plan-It-X, No Idea, Riot Folk, or nothing.

I'm not trying to mock them, though. They have good ethics and are good people. I personally love folk-punk and D,OH. However, I can't give up my car and I'm not a vegan. My apologies.

Let me first say that I'm not a "bike punk" but... Who said you have to give up your car? I'm not sure where you live, but bikes are pretty great way overall of getting around in a healthy and environmentally friendly way.

T-Rock (November 10, 2007)

No, I totally agree. Like I said, I agree with their ethics. I just can't logically use a bike. At least not regularly. My work and university are both really far from my home. I use the train to get to school, though. Maybe I'm a train punk.

the_problem_with_fire (November 10, 2007)

Understandable

train punx unite!

24HourPriapism (November 10, 2007)

up the mass transit punx!

eran_zombis (November 10, 2007)

They started the manpri revolution.

Pendalum_McGonagal (November 10, 2007)

There is a bike gang in NYC called the Black Label Bike Club. these guys might not be bike punks, but they come pretty close in terms of DIY ethics by finding old scrap metal and welding their own bikes while throwing fests that celebrate the bike.

NotPatriotic (November 10, 2007)

A person who doesn't like taking showers. jk. Bike punks are cool in my opinion, except their views are way too hardline and almost militant sometimes.

ericheartsu (November 10, 2007)

this album is like all the awesome songs off the great depression. its really dark, but super awesome.

EliseEffect (November 10, 2007)

Very excited for this.

T-Rock (November 10, 2007)

Oh my God. Remember that terrible band "A Day to Remember?" I thought they couldn't get any worse, but they have. They covered Kelly Clarkson on their MySpace and added screaming/guttural vocals. I PROMISE you'll get a laugh. Listen to the whole thing.

I like how shitty pop-emo with lame metal riffs has become "pop-punk/hardcore."

24HourPriapism (November 10, 2007)

i like how shitty punk-pop is considered "emo" nowadays.

acris (November 11, 2007)

Why does every band cover that song? I mean, if you want to be ironic by covering a shitty mainstream song, then don't all do the same one.

24HourPriapism (November 10, 2007)

this band doesn't get on my nerves nearly as much as this bike is a pipe bomb does. i'm stoked.

dlangl4 (November 10, 2007)

As I'm typing this with my left hand I'm preordering this CD with my right hand on my other computer.

CCSummers (November 10, 2007)

i don't really like this album as much as their older ones, call me crazy. however, i have been listening to it on a M4A 128 bits version, so maybe it's that

Obvious vinyl bias aside (well, maybe), the 12" sounds REALLY GOOD. Way better than an MP3 or whatnot. I just has a really nice warmth.

AMoralThreat (November 12, 2007)

I saw defiance at Mass Art, and it was so over crowed that they had to play 2 sets. I snuck into the first one for free, but they played maybe 4 songs. What a let down. The band just hasn't been the same since.
