Our Take

DEFEAT THE LOW's latest release, "A Nervous Smile," is as unpredictable as British weather, but with a lot more substance. The band's unique blend of post-hardcore and melodic rock creates a sonic rollercoaster that will have you questioning whether to headbang or shed a tear.

From the opening track, "Heart Attack," with its pounding drums and angst-filled vocals, to the hauntingly beautiful ballad "Silence," DEFEAT THE LOW takes listeners on a journey through the complexities of human emotion. Each song is a rollercoaster of emotions, much like trying to navigate the London Underground during rush hour.

Lead singer Mark's vocals are as mesmerising as a Shakespeare soliloquy, effortlessly switching from powerful screams to delicate melodies. The band's musicianship is tight, like a pair of skinny jeans on a Camden Town hipster, with intricate guitar riffs and thunderous basslines driving each song forward.

While "A Nervous Smile" may not be for the faint of heart, its raw honesty and emotional depth make it a must-listen for those willing to take a musical leap of faith. So grab yourself a cup of tea, put on your best Union Jack t-shirt, and prepare to be blown away by DEFEAT THE LOW's latest masterpiece. Cheers!

About the artist

Defeat the Low

DEFEAT THE LOW - The self-proclaimed lords of emo revival have taken the music scene by storm with their melancholic melodies and introspective lyrics. Led by the enigmatic frontman, their sound is a unique blend of emo, post-hardcore, and pop-punk that will have you crying in the club one minute and moshing in your bedroom the next. Hailing from the depths of suburbia, DEFEAT THE LOW first gained attention with their DIY EPs that captured the raw emotion and unfiltered angst of teenage life. Since then, they have evolved into a powerhouse of a band, selling out venues across the country and amassing a dedicated following of emotional misfits. With influences ranging from My Chemical Romance to Taking Back Sunday, DEFEAT THE LOW's music is a whirlwind of heartbreak, defiance, and self-discovery. Their live performances are a spectacle to behold, with the band's infectious energy and undeniable chemistry on stage leaving audiences in awe. Whether you're a die-hard emo kid or a casual listener, DEFEAT THE LOW's music speaks to the universal experience of growing pains and self-doubt. So grab your eyeliner, put on your favourite band tee, and get ready to be transported to a world where every lyric is a battle cry and every chord is a lifeline. DEFEAT THE LOW is here to remind you that it's okay to feel lost, but it's never too late to find yourself in the music.
