0Defeater Announce Live on BBC Release
Bostonoids DEFEATER recorded a BBC Maida Vale Session last December in the UK, which aired on Mike Davies Punk Show on BBC Radio 1 the following month. Now a year later, Bridge 9 is releasing this recording on vinyl and digital formats.
Defeater guitarist Jay Maas commented on the session:
“On every level imaginable, this experience was a dream come true for me. Every band from The Cure, and The Smiths to Hot Snakes, and American Nightmare has been recorded behind those walls. It’s nothing but an honor and a treat to now be included on that list. We tracked live versions of ‘But Breathing’, ‘Brothers’, ‘Warm Blood Rush’, and ‘Empty Glass’.” He continued, “The studio was absolutely gorgeous. It had 20-foot ceilings, great acoustic treatment, a built-in glass vocal booth, and a lounge loft, all contained in the live room. There was a full 48-track SSL board, three silver-faced 1176ln compressors, an E.A.R. Fairchild replica, and hand built near field monitors, which sounded unreal, in the control room.”
The band is said to be writing new material and will hopefully announce a new tour soon. Check out the track list below of the upcoming release set to be out later this year/early 2013 on Bridge 9:
