Bassist/vocalist Ryan Woods offered a brief communiqué from the studio:

“I’m not sure what it will turn out like, but I do feel it is a bit of a change. I think we were a lot more careful in arranging the songs, for example, a lot more thought-out harmonies, some songs have lots of strings, some none at all. There is a lot more use of the piano, a Wurlitzer, and a return of the upright bass on some songs. A couple of the songs are quite theatrical in content and orchestrated musically. In contrast, I think a couple songs are also more “punk” sounding than the last record. We are very excited! I feel like we really worked as a group to make the songs and I think it will be a really good representation of where we are as a band now, for better or for worse.”

Defiance Oho have released three previous albums: “Share What Ya Got,” “The Great Depression,” and “The Fear, The Fear, The Fear.” All can be ordered through No Idea Records. You can click “more” below for the album credits and track listing.
