A Sad Mass' Mountain


The Coin game was great [LIVE]
Press
"They straddle the post-rock and indie genres in an Appleseed Cast-esque way, offering moments of instrumental beauty side by side with toe-tapping melodies which almost sound like early Biffy Clyro."
Big Scary Monsters

"Weaned on the likes of Fugazi & Sigur Ros they belt Out tunes with the formers energy and maintain the glacial Beauty of the latter."
The FLY

"We once saw Mogwai in Bergen, Norway and they left us bored and cold. The Defeat have come from no where and they could destroy the Reading music scene in 2008."
Velocity Recordings

"Stunning Post Rock/Indie music from Reading, laced with fresh energy and beauty. For fans of The Appleseed Cast, Mogwai, Refused and Biffy Clyro."
Safetydance Promotions

"Emo-math-pop hooks that slap yr cheeks!"
Marvins Revolt

"They fuse post- rock, pop and Icelandic influences in to music which engages your mind"

ONE LOVE FROM EAST LONDON....


LOVE IS NOT GUILTY

Why is it so hard for me to say hello,
You’ve hit my heart like an arrow,
Give me your endless breath,
So I could cheat death,
I feel your heart beat in my chest.
