In Defence are some fucked up kids! Actually, they're pissed off adults kicking it old school, and that means they know what they're doing. Hailing from this apparent hotbed of hardcore—the Twin Cities of MPLS and St. Paul—these guys are a circle pit's wet dream. On this record, In Defence keeps on thrashing without fail.

This is some good old Sunday matinee hardcore with a cynical, but comical, take on the world. There's no bullshit here. None of that “experimentation.” Just the age old necessities—four nasty chords that make you wanna blast your boom box and smash glass all over the place! When are you guys playing New York? In Defence—perfect for any toothless crusty, straight edge baldhead, and anyone who believes hardcore still lives.
