product info

Defeater is one of the most attention-grabbing hardcore bands we've heard in a long time. Their debut album Travels was originally released on CD by Topshelf Records in September of 2008 and is now available again. Defeater has a wide array of influences and at first listen, you'll hear tracks reminiscent of Botch or Deadguy mixed with traditional hardcore. Ethically influenced by bands like Fugazi, Minor Threat or Modern Life Is War, Travels is challenging to the very notion of what hardcore is and lyrically unlike any album in the last decade. No to UMG accounts.
