Oh boy, are you guys ready for this? 🤯 Because I’m not. DEFENCES, the alternative metal band that’s been making waves with their synth-heavy melodies and crushing riffs, has teamed up with SKINDRED’s Benji Webbe for a new track called “More Of Us (Than There Are Of Them)”. I mean, who didn’t see this coming? It’s not like they’re trying to capitalize on the whole “political discontent” thing or anything… 🙄
So, DEFENCES singer Cherry Duesbury says that one of the things that inspired this song was seeing the first wave of ICE abductions and public scandals, which, you know, is pretty heavy stuff. I mean, who wouldn’t be inspired to write a song about it? It’s not like they’re just jumping on the bandwagon or anything…
The Song
“More Of Us (Than There Are Of Them)” is apparently a fiery track that’s all about shedding light on the growing collective consciousness awakening of recent years. Because, you know, we didn’t already have enough songs about that. I mean, it’s not like every other band is writing about the same thing… Cherry Duesbury says that she wanted to write a song that expressed her feeling that we’ve reached a point of no return, and that the public is finally turning on the rampant institutional corruption. Wow, what a unique and not-at-all-overused theme…
But hey, at least the song has a cool title, right? I mean, “More Of Us (Than There Are Of Them)” is definitely a title that grabs your attention. It’s like, super deep and meaningful… or something. And with Benji Webbe on board, it’s sure to be a hit with all the SKINDRED fans out there. I mean, who doesn’t love a good collaboration, right?
The Band
So, DEFENCES has been around for a decade now, and they’ve built a pretty solid reputation for themselves in the metalcore scene. They’ve got a unique sound that blends synth-heavy melodies with crushing riffs, and they’ve shared stages with some pretty big names like RØRY, FUTURE PALACE, TRASH BOAT, and REDHOOK. They’ve also sold out their own headline shows and landed major festival slots, because of course they have…
The band consists of Cherry Duesbury on vocals, William Young on keys and vocals, Calum Wilmot on guitar, and Kyle Parke on drums. They’ve got a pretty solid lineup, and they’ve been making music together for a while now. So, if you’re into that sort of thing, you might want to check them out…
But let’s be real, the real question on everyone’s mind is: what’s next for DEFENCES? Will they continue to ride the wave of success, or will they fade into obscurity like so many other metal bands? Only time will tell, folks… 🤔
In conclusion, DEFENCES has a new song out, and it’s got Benji Webbe on it. Because, you know, that’s exactly what the world needed… 🙄 But hey, if you’re into metalcore and synth-heavy melodies, you might want to check it out. Just don’t expect me to be too excited about it… 😴
