DEFEATER Signed with Epitaph + Tour Dates w/ Counterparts & Capsize

by | Jan 21, 2015

Lots of stuff is happening with the Defeater camp. After a wild 2014 where vocalist Derek Archambault had to deal with a hip injury, the band is back in full swing and they’ve inked a deal with Epitaph Records.

The group have a new record in the works — their fourth studio album. We presume info on that will be on the way in the near future.

Orbs: The Ryan’s Rock Show Interview

I’ve been really diggin’ this band called Orbs. So much to where my daily summer routine goes like this: wake up and listen to Orbs, pee, listen to Orbs while eating a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, post news on Ryan’s Rock Show and pick up hot...
