"Another day when the sun ain't shining..."

This July saw the release of the latest album from Boston hardcore quintet, Defeater. Defeater are known for their ongoing conceptual narrative that has been carried out through their last two albums, and 'Letters Home' is no different! The lyrics from each album contribute to a larger story, which follow struggles and hardships faced by a working-class family in post World War II New Jersey. Letters Home is told from the perspective of the father, and this time follows his time spent on the front line in WWII.
Vocalist Derek Achambault


Letters Home artwork
Personally, I find that the album artwork of Letters Home, is just perfect. It is everything that the lyrical aspect of the album conveys, and it just has such a raw feeling to it which I love. The designer of this piece has created something for Defeater that truly looks like it has been taken right from their story, and brought to life flawlessly.
