My interest in this band named for a town in Ohio that they do not live in (the members reside in Bloomington, Indiana, if I am not mistaken) that sits a few hours' drive north from where I live in Cincinnati, stemmed from my ever music savvy friend Brian. He and his sister were planning to go see Defiance, Ohio at a small local club where the promoters decided to pull an extremely stupid move. Since ska is so popular for the teenage crowd in Cincinnati, and this is an all-ages show (on a Tuesday???), the promoters chose Defiance, Ohio headlining in front of 6 “ska bands” (one or 2 bands don’t really play ska, hence the quotations). When Brian related this disappointing lineup of bands (besides one or 2 pretty good local acts) and he still seemed psyched to go, I realized that if he was willing to wait through 6 "ska" bands to see Defiance, then it must be something worth checking out.

Yeaaaaaaaa whoops, i meant "wasn't," don't get me wrong though! i'm just comparing to D,Oh's other stuff. absolutely amazing. the Great Depression had some fucking awesome songs on it, but as a whole it was that great.. better than a lot of things though! The Fear, The Fear, The Fear is their best so far, though. I've had a bad day. just listened to jawbreaker... This album sucks. The Great Depression is awesome but this is boring as hell. Amazing band, amazing album, amazing group of people. These guys put a lot of heart into the songs and live proformances. If you haven't listened to anything by this band yet, go to their website and download some tracks, then buy their releases. Amazing band, amazing album, amazing group of people. These guys put a lot of heart into the songs and live proformances. If you haven't listened to anything by this band yet, go to their website and download some tracks, then buy their releases. Pretty funny that nobody used to give a shit about these guys or This Bike is a Pipe Bomb back before Against Me sold out (the first or second time, maybe). Defiance, Ohio is about one thing, passion. i wish half the punk bands out there had the heart that Defiance, Ohio has. Untouchable album and an amazing live show. This is horrible. "Share What Ya Got" is a great album and this reviewer doesn't seem to even know it well enough to review it. "Kathleen" and "Drinking Song" are the two best songs? Are you kidding? Is what you meant to say, "Kathleen and Drinking Song are the two songs when the vocalist sounds the most like Tom Gabel and hence my favorite songs?" The lyrics on this album are brilliant and I can't stand to see such a shoddy review that basically says "Yea, Defiance, OH sound kind of like Against Me!. They're pretty good." The members of the band all used to live in Ohio. "Even Columbus looks better on the backseat of a bike..." Chad's Favorite song is my favorite song. saw them at a middle of nowhere connecticut vfw hall and it was awesome. Friends and Relatives released the vinyl version. This CD will change your life! This band added a violin player... I remeber hearing them like 2 years ago maybe 3 and kinda digging it but not loving it maybe theyve got it now. Pretty funny that nobody used to give a shit about these guys or This Bike is a Pipe Bomb back before Against Me sold out (the first or second time, maybe). I though Share What Ya Got was released on Friends & Relatives. I Abosolutely love this album, yes I do own it. It hasn't left the cd played in my car in about a month. These guys really need to play in New Jersey though. I'm also really looking forward to The Great Depression. anyone that takes anarchy seriously is just wasting their fucking time these guys just wanna be against me....and what old against me fans now cling to until these bastards do the same thing against me did to them in the first place...anyone that takes anarchy seriously is just wasting their fucking time Your probably should not shorten their name to Defiance, as that can be confusing due to the existence of a street punk band with that name Haha, I didn't say you were. I was just stating that I think it's really annoying that this show is going to go to all hours of the night, on a night when a lot of people probably won't want to/be able to stick around. (eric) zdp man...im not hatin on forest fire...you and frankl project are the two bands who dont really play ska i put in "" Not a bad review but it was a little heavy on the story and a little light on the actual content of the album. However, since their music is avalible for free I suppose one shouldn't need much persuading. I got this off their web site when I read the post talked about in the review. I really like it. There are a lot of amazing tracks, some good, and only one or two bad ones. It's definitely something out of the ordinary too. Good review. Just got this in the mail from No Idea yesterday. Listened to it twice so far. I think it is going to get a lot of play. Good Cd. I'm playing at that show you mention in the first paragraph, and I agree that it's a bit rediculous to put 5 other bands besides D,OH on the bill. It was originally just supposed to be 4 bands total, including D, OH, but the promoter just threw two more on like last week. I hope D,OH gets to play sometime in the middle of the night, so people will actually get to stick around and see how awesome they are. The Cover art reminds me of Millencolin. |
