      My friend's band (hardcore) played with them at an old church or something but it was small. We've been fans ever since.

    I’m from this town, and whenever I listen to this poem I can’t help but cry. It’s like a good kind of hurt? Like someone noticing the pain you’ve been going through and saying ‘I see you suffering. It’s ok’

      @@jasondewyse7143 yeah I’m only 23 so I can only judge from my perspective but I’ve definitely seen it worse and it might’ve been a lot shittier before I was born but Defiance has definitely been doing better recently. Hell they even have a Skate shop, a new tattoo place, phenomenal record store, more great restaurants, and I expect the town to keep growing.

    This is very interesting. I grew up 15 minutes from this town and worked at the Taco Bell there for about 7 months. I’ve seen a lot of junkies, a lot of potheads for sure but this adds a whole new perspective to the town I grew up around. I listened to a few songs from the band here and there like 5-6 years ago and this intrigues me. Thanks very much for uploading.
