Massachusetts-based Defeater is currently recording a double 7” six song EP that will be titled “Lost Ground” for Bridge Nine Records.  Guitarist Jay Maas had this to say about the release:

I think it’s going to be a more dynamically interesting record than our last and it will take a few extra chances songwriting-wise. I was pretty pleased with Travels but we never want to make the same record twice.

The “Lost Ground” EP will be available November 17th.

Expect to see Defeater on tour this Fall in support of the release of Lost Ground.  Check out the Dying Scene Shows page for dates.

Soul Control’s album “Cycles” is out in stores August 25th but you can hear the track “Silent Reality” from the album right now on the band’s MySpace page.

Soul Control released their last album “Involution” in 2007.
