fugazi Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Your favorite band’s favorite band, Self Defense Family enjoys a distinct renown within the punk community. Well-respected and critically lauded but difficult and idiosyncratic, the band has done things their way almost to a fault. Eschewing sing-alongs and easy anthems in favor of personal lyrics, they stand apart from their contemporaries in punk and hardcore. Their strangely tense guitar-work framed within otherwise hook laden songs lends the band an unmistakable sound. Opting to be heavy in emotion rather than heavy in sound. Led by vocalist, lyricist, and personality Patrick Kindlon, Self Defense Family have extended their branches to organically include touring and session musicians. Allowing them to evolve into a musical collective with more than ten active members at any given time. Interestingly enough, no member of the assemblage has played every show or played on every recording by the collective. "Try Me", Self Defense Family's latest full length offering, will be released January 7th, 2014 on Deathwish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I'm looking forward to this and love the cover. Good thing SDF has released enough material to tide me over until this comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 AOTY 2014 Sincerely and You Are Beneath Me are two of my favorite albums of all time and their 7"s and splits always rule. Their song off that free RFC Mixed Singles 7" (which I missed out on) is one of the best things I heard all year. Of course it's REALLY old and doesn't reflect at all how the LP will sound.

drewberinger Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I can understand that - first off Patrick's voice is an acquired taste on its own. and Drug Church offers something easier to latch onto musically because it's fast and ready for the pit (yes I hate myself for typing that out as well) while SDF is definitely more lyrically-based and the music kinda meanders at times and takes interesting directions. Drug Church is more immediate for me as well but I've found End of a Year/SDF to have a little more substance and stand up well over time.

dantheriver Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I was gonna try to get into SDF when DW had a sale on their albums but the full length sold out by the time I tried to order and I didn't want to fiddle around with the 7"s.
