The Defiled are PRS’ Guests of the Month
PRS for Music Foundation funded The Defiled through British Music Abroad for their trip to the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.
Here is what they had to tell PRS.
We asked the band what’s been on their stereo –
Stitch (vocals/guitar):
All I seem to be listening to at the moment is the entire Foo Fighters back catalogue. The songwriting on every album is near perfect. The new album ‘Wasting Light’ has only cemented how good they are and how much of a dent they’ve put in Rock music over the past 17 years and how much of a dent they’ve put in my life. I still get excited with every album release the same way I did when the first album came out when I was a kid.
Other things I’ve been listening to recently are -
Lower than Atlantis – World Record
These guys are gonna get huge in the next few years i think.
Stray from the Path – Rising Sun
Kind of a hardcore band from Long Island NY. They have a very punk rock attitude towards playing which shines through on this record.
The AvD (keys, programming/vocals):
An album I can’t stop listening to is Sonoio’s ‘Red’. It’s just full of good songs, great lyrics/concepts and the use of analog synths and old school drum machines is done in a refreshing style I have never heard before.
I have to say I’m a proper fan, I wanted to support the cause so I went on the Sonoio website and bought everything they had, I think they call it the “Geek bundle”, it even comes with a little analog synth of your very own!
I’ve also been listening to an EP by a London based band called Dripback. It’s called ‘Inhaling The Ashes’ and it’s just an honest no frills grimy metal EP. You can properly hear the gritty underbelly of London coming through your speakers with this one.
A friend of mine introduced me to a band called Shining the other day and if you are in to black metal and jazz this one was made just for you! The album is called ‘Black Jazz’ and it does exactly what it says on the tin. I like to hear things I haven’t heard before and to be surprised and this album hit the spot on those two fronts.
We also asked the band what they thought about heading over to SXSW -
Stitch:
We cannot wait to head to Texas for SXSW this year. I’ve been before playing for other bands and it’s a festival unlike any other. It’s amazing to just be able to walk into small bars and see bands that are small to huge bands playing to 50 people.
The AvD:
Of course PRS for Music Foundation/British Music Abroad has given us the opportunity to go to the states and fly the flag for British Metal and alternative music. We are a bunch of poor struggling musicians and there is no way we would have ever been able to do this with out the support of PRS for Music Foundation. We are so grateful for this and can’t wait to go out there and make everyone back home proud!

Stitch D and The AvD give us their Albums of the Year 2011
It’s that time of year so we spoke to Stitch and The AvD to get what their top 5 albums were for 2011.
Here’s what they said.
5. Suicide Silence – Black Crown
4. Slaves To Gravity – Underwaterouterspace
3. Lower Than Atlantis – World Record
2. Stray From The Path – Rising Sun
1. Foo Fighters – Wasting Light
“Has to be Foo Fighters Wasting Light as number one. Dave Grohl always was and always will be the man. The album has so much charm and character to it and was recorded in his garage on to old school tape so no little computer tricks/cheats. It’s just a great rock record and displays every element on it that made me fall in love with the Foo Fighters the first time on their debut.”
5. Sylosis – Edge of the Earth
4. Suicide Silence – Black Crown
3. Emmure – Speaker of the Dead
2. Upon A Burning Body – The Word Is Ours
1. Sonoio – Red
“First of all for me to get into an album I have to be able to listen to it from beginning to end without skipping any tracks, that’s one of the reasons I had to go with Sonoio’s RED. It’s the most original work I have heard in a long time while managing not to be pretentious and try hard at any point.
When people try to make records just to be different or arty it just sounds a bit desperate.
This is just an honest record packed full of good songs, great lyrics/concepts and the use of analog synths and old school drum machines is done in a refreshing style I have never heard before.
I have to say I’m a proper fan, I wanted to support the cause so I went on the Sonoio website and bought everything they had, I think they call it the “Geek bundle”, it even comes with a little analog synth of your very own!
I just love the ethos of this project and I think Alessandro Cortini is an amazing songwriter and I wish him the best of luck with Sonoio, I cant wait to hear more!”
