Massachusetts-based Defeater is tucked away at Getaway Recording Studio for the next month recording a double 7” six song EP that will be titled Lost Ground. Focusing on the “prophet” from the song “Prophet In Plan Clothes” (track 6 on their last album, Travels), this EP will be a narrative in a similar style to Travels while once again showcasing the diversity of Defeater.
Guitarist Jay Maas said, “I think it's going to be a more dynamically interesting record than our last and it will take a few extra chances songwriting-wise. I was pretty pleased with Travels but we never want to make the same record twice.”
The Lost Ground EP will be available November 17th in stores and online from Bridge Nine Records.Formed in Massachusetts in 2004 and solidified in 2008 from a diverse background of musicians, Defeater is a forward-thinking hardcore band with more to them than just mosh parts. The band has a wide array of influences and at first listen, you'll hear tracks reminiscent of Botch and Deadguy mixed with traditional hardcore.
Ethically influenced by bands like Fugazi and musically by Minor Threat and Modern Life Is War – Defeater is no copycat band. Their debut full-length, Travels, is a concept album that was hailed as “a new artistic peak for hardcore” by Punknews.org and was re-released by Bridge Nine last February.
Expect to see Defeater on tour this Fall in support of the release Lost Ground on November 17th and stay tuned to www.Bridge9.com for more information.
