Defeater / Alcoa

Описание

Биография: Совсем еще молодая группа, играющая великолепный мелодик хардкор в духе Verse или Modern Life Is War (да-да!), из Бостона, Массачусеттс. В 2008-м году выпустили свой дебютный полноформатник Travels на лейбле Topshelf Records. Альбом сюжетный и повествует нам о тяжелой судьбе мальчика из неблагополучной семьи в мире, отрёкшемся от него. Затем группа прописалась на Bridge9, который переиздал альбом уже 24-го февраля 2009 года. 17го ноября 2009 на том же Bridge9 вышла ипиха группы Lost Ground. Singer/songwriter Derek Archambault is no stranger to the spotlight; he has spent the last 4 years on tour with progressive hardcore/punk band Defeater, and has had a solo project called Alcoa going for even longer. After countless years of keeping Alcoa on the backburner, this project will finally have a debut full-length album see the light of day in 2012. Alcoa started while Derek was on tour with one of his many bands back in 2002. At that time, he found himself listening to more and more artists like Gram Parsons, Elliot Smith, Johnny Cash, Rocky Votolato, and Ryan Adams and "…wanted so badly to be able to write songs like that. I didn't know how to at all, but it didn't stop me from trying and churning out a bunch of shitty songs that I was too afraid to sing. One day, while driving through Alcoa, TN, I decided on the name and started the process of figuring out how to not write a loud punk or four-chord jangly pop song."
