This album is probably in my top 3 favourite albums of all time. Defiance, Ohio is the band that really got me into folk-punk, and I still think they probably do it better than anyone else. Great lyrics; interesting, dynamic, songwriting. Not that the album is flawless, but it's perfect in the sense that there isn't a bad song on the album and it all flows so well. They really hit a winning formula, and I have been wishing for a new album from them since 2007. This is their debut album, and the two subsequent albums each changed the formula ever so slightly; enough to keep it fresh without changing the spirit of the band.
Defiance, Ohio, releases all their music for free on their website, but I have uploaded it here in a convenient zip file.
