It feels so weird posting on something other then my laptop! But my dearest computer has been deep-sixed by way of cat puke frying its innards (RIP!) so until I scrounge up the dough for a new one, I'll update every now and then from my work computer! As you've obviously figured out, posts will be more irregular for the time being but rest assured my friends, I will update at least once a week until further notice!
So here's a brand new album from the reliably heartfelt, brilliant poets known as Defiance, Ohio. In case your an unlucky soul who has yet to hear these folks, Defiance Ohio plays an amazing brand of folk infused with punk energy, emotionally driven lyrics of passion/politics, and brilliantly understated lyrics. Yea, grand statements are made here and there, but the thing that sets this band aside from most is the utter truth and honesty you hear in there scratchy, imperfect voices. The music ranges from melodic to rhythmic, fast and slow, fist pumping anthems to introspective and moving ballads. This is the band that will change your mind about everything!
I got my first taste of this album via "The Pink Couch Sessions" on If You Make It.Com. The band performed "Hair Pool," a song which touches my soul each time I hear it. I highly recommend looking up the performance on Youtube, after listening to this remarkable record. Hope ya'll dig it!
1) Floodwaters
2) The White Shore
3) A Lot to Do
4) Cigarettes
5) Hairpool
6) Dissimilarity Index
7) The Reason
8) Her Majesty’s Midwestern Islands
9) Diamonds Theme Song
10) You Are Loved
11) Everyone Else on the Other Side
Defiance Ohio is one of those true musical outfits whose sole interest is expressing music from the heart and hoping you like it, rather then making money. As such, the band has uploaded every single one of there records online for free download. "Midwestern Minutes" is linked at the bottom of this post, but be sure to go to the bands website here and check out all of there other albums. They're all absolutely amazing, though I HIGHLY recommend "The Great Depression." Still, cheap as you may be, consider donating a few bucks there way... these guys deserve it, truly. Stay Free!
