Excitement in my life! A new DEFIANCE, OHIO album!

To say the least, this band’s music has heavily occupied the speakers of my headphones, car and computers for the past couple years. My 3-year-old son even loves this band. The best news of all, Defiance Ohio has a new album coming out on July 6th. From the sound of “Hairpool,” a song from Midwestern Minutes they have leaked at No Idea, I think the new album is going to be incredible. I would expect no less from this group. Listen to the song HERE. – Thanks, Spencer Cooke
