Defeater Empty Glass

[@johntoland7198]

11 years later and I’ve found my way back. It sure is nice to listen to this stuff again. Nostalgic

[@LowEndPCGamer100]

i love my grandmother, my great grandmother, she took the place of my wretched mother, i owe her the life she felt she owed me all those years ago, 91 and still strong, and here i am, not sober, but mentally better than ive ever been, yet again, my old lady has given me purpose, i just wish grandpa was here to see.

[@KarenRamone00]

Lmao its pretty apparent that people who are comparing bmth with this have never listened to Defeater and have no clue about the music or genre.

[@JohnWick-om9bq]

Agreed.

[@robc7126]

Karen Ramone00 ..very true. I recently came to the realization of the Defeatist starring You. ..lol

[@crazy4piehobo]

bmth is trash I feel insulted that someone would compare them to defeater

[@TheSatanicHippie420]

Wait wait wait. How could you even compare these guys to bmth that’s wild 😂

[@shannonyohe6296]

Bmth isn't nothing like Defeater only an idiot would make that statement

[@jackson8293]

It's been 10-12 years, this is the real shit. crazy how you listen to so many songs over your lifetime, some on repeat... then theres bands like defeater, that you'll not listen to for a decade, but find yourself right back where it all fucken started. That's what the internet should be for.

[@lxstbxys4565]

"They're like La Dispute" "They're like BMTH" They're like Defeater now shut the hell up

[@RadeCzech182]

+Daytona Thomas La Dispute isn't shit band my friend.

[@RadeCzech182]

+Daytona Thomas I won't agrue with your opinion, I understand but I like them af. Cheers.

[@RadeCzech182]

+Daytona Thomas exactly man, exactly

[@JohnWick-om9bq]

+RadeCzech182 Have a good day

[@RadeCzech182]

+Daytona Thomas this was the best opinion exchange in the history of internet ever. you too lad

[@dawsonabel6068]

I absolutely adore the emotion in his screams. It's so hauntingly beautiful, I just can't stop listening to this.

[@Lukewarm111]

This album has really cool gothic imagery it’s definitely my favorite release from them

[@skadude113]

Caught em a few times, most recently at gilman last year and he always delivers live, like listening to the album, i just have to stand there and admire how good these guys continue to be!

[@iqbal610]

The drumming on this song is absolutely stunning

[@gking8945]

This is some of my favorite drumming of all time. When someone asks you for an iconic moment in drumming, say “Empty Glass” by Defeater!

[@BendyDH]

man, the guitar is what makes this song for me, the tone is veryyyyy atypical for this kind of music. No distortion at all until a little bit at the end (but even still there isn't much), very unusual and interesting in this case, especially considering the contrast with the harsh, fast, and heavy vocals and drum parts throughout.

[@malcolmk2878]

Great point. You're right.

[@basvandevorst6068]

'Cause there ain't nothin' like your smile.. those legs and those eyes!!.. gets me every time.. ❤️

[@DerTomatenToaster]

Next Defeater Album confirmed: The story of Bob the Weatherman. Learn everything about Bob, the blood in his veins, his alcohol addiction and how he slaughtered his family, because the sun wasn't shining.

[@reckzn]

What about the burdens he carries?

[@DerTomatenToaster]

+reckzn I read in an interview that they want to leave that out of the next album so that it doesn't repeat too many of the old elements.

[@DwayneCreates]

I love the drumwork in all Defeater tracks, but to me this will always be one of my favourites. Everything about this track is perfect.

[@wark9408]

+Vheissu dont forget the white oak door..

[@SperaSF]

+Vheissu I was trying to explain why this is some of my favorite drumming to my band's singer, but he wasn't getting it. Its so fucking good.

[@trucksd1]

Defeater and Being As An Ocean are my two favorite bands as of now.

[@ethandrdirosato9227]

I agree with you 100% dude they're my favorite bands besides letlive

[@duncanverdult3894]

Baao 😍😍😍

[@elementalhit1088]

Half empty or half full it all goes down the same, awesome!

[@lilrollieshroomshroom1366]

The way she looked at you, tears streaming down her face You felt the brush of her dress as she walked away And that's all that it took, sat down to buy her a drink An empty or a half full glass, it all goes down the same And that's the way that it's been Years later she took your name Hopeful and now unafraid Your gut sinks each time you see her Another night at the Copper Coin Another night, another night And that's all that it took, sat down to buy her a drink An empty or a half full glass, it all goes down the same And that's the way that it's been Years later she took your name Hopeful and now unafraid Your gut sinks each time you see her Tell me about the old days Another night at the Copper Coin Tell me about the old days Put the sun into the sea 'Cause there ain't nothing like your smile, your legs and those eyes Tell me about the old days 'Cause there ain't nothing like your smile, your legs and those eyes And I will beg and steal and borrow to keep you safe your whole life

[@Nickshreds890]

Thank you for the lyrics. This song hits me straight in the heart. Defeater are an incredible band

[@5mashedAndr0id]

Its hard to find a band to tell a story quite like Defeater. Their work is immaculate.

[@kragmor]

Not sure if early 1900's people in a bar, or clean scene hipsters in a bar.

[@robc6022]

@@laundrysauceNL it was a joke dude

[@bluescarlet11]

The drums are so fucking solid on this whole album. Perfect tone, some of the best beats and tightest fills I've ever heard.

[@xXRayray64Xx]

There ears will explode with the greatness that is Defeater

[@Chbacka]

Депрессивно, атмосферно. Не часто встретишь такие проникновенные песни, просто супер!

[@machiaveli42]

perfect pacing, love the breakdown. and goddamn those ending lines. there aint nothing like your smile, your legs and those eyes... and i will beg and steal and borrow to keep you safe your whole life..... all the more bitter considering she dies.....

[@desve000]

More than life and defeater are my favorites bands now and forever.

[@Jakdropsbass]

I got to see these guys last night and for most bands you would see some mosh pitting but for these guys; there pattionate music had everyone silent.

[@joshmanakajosh]

TELL ME ABOUT THE OLD DAYS.

[@lethalpuppy4964]

Stokens listens to Defeater holy shit

[@trunksgainz5742]

Thr drum work in this is out of this world.

[@pkstaytrue]

The creativity of their drummer is insane! Loving the drums too. :)

[@jackwilson14]

I remember seeing these guys for the first time when they were on tour with ABR in Dallas. Never listened to them before and didnt know their music at all. But I was blown away by the passion of this band. Cheers dudes.

[@1016bones]

I love how much emotion he's putting into this, and every single song. It's so real, and raw. It's perfect.

[@fdanesh6371]

I miss them, man.

[@Hockeyjew702]

Haven't kissed her lips in 4 years... But I will always remember them.. I will always remember her. She is a ghost in my heart but not in my mind

[@TheCitizenErazed]

Your gut sinks each time you see her...

[@JarnoDeReviere]

One of the best bands live i've ever seen!

[@Loveulysses651]

I saw this band at Warped MN yesterday! I've been been hearing A LOT about them, so i decided to check them out! I DO NOT regret it!

[@DaniSeku91]

The fact that this only has 54,000 views is unbelievable. More people need to know about this band.

[@liamjamestaylor]

Every song on this album is video worthy.

[@jakers1001]

Such a sick band, a good friend of mine is actually putting them on here in the UK, London, very excited to see them live! :D

[@goodythegoods]

one of the few bands i would pay to see more than once defeater puts on awesome shows them with touche amore was one of the best shows i have ever been too

[@jaredDMI]

It's definitely talking about a place exactly like that. Since they've toured England before they may have been there, but intentional or not that place you described is exactly the setting for this record. Post WWII, industrial. I heard somewhere that it's set in New Jersey, but I always assumed it was Massachusetts because that's where they're from and being from Massachusetts myself, I've always pictured scenery like in the port town of Salem, MA.

[@Chbacka]

Песня и клип просто прекрасны! Очень атмосферно

[@bluto727]

Defeater may be one of the greatest bands ever.

[@kellyhiggs8491]

So glad I got to hear this at Furnace Fest.

[@dookierubber3345]

Where are all of the defeater videos? I'd love to experience them again in video

[@shiredai7233]

The best song i've been listening for a while

[@ghilburt]

The drummer always impresses me

[@neilfletcher4520]

Such a mezmerizing song. Sick drumming too

[@chefandrew1986]

To the dude who doesnt get the video, Defeater is a concept band. This song is only a small part of the whole story on record. Great song and video.

[@JayGoodyDaDream210]

They didn't drink? I loved this.

[@HXCKidsDEEZSdays]

Were there're stage was set up at warped in my city. The scene kids was on the other side of this large parking lot listing to their butt lord andy six play. And defeater had a nice crowd. Many people who never heard of them was confused, the front crowd was screaming their lungs out as soon they played red, white, and blue. haha it was such a great time! Defeater killed it.

[@MarcusBiggins1993]

Such a worthwhile band.

[@shanefranklin4714]

RIP RACHELLE WE LOVE YOU 💔

[@rogersb1975]

I just found this band and they're really good why have I not heard you before what

[@uzimosh]

amazing band. i love music that makes you think and actually feel something. Defeater checks both those box's

[@cookiesrtastee]

@hellangelzx are you talking about the words in the beginning? if so, they're the part of the story to set up what's going on. the entire album is a story. it's a pretty sad story too.

[@basssockpuppet872]

ANyone wanna tell me what happened in that video? who was fighting at the end? I know that the story was about the older brother meeting his wife and the bookie hitting on her or something but what happened here? anyone?

[@ajackson2711]

They were amazing!!!!

[@samuelrawr]

goosebumps...amazing!!!

[@everlot1000]

this video is powerful if you listen to the full album

[@laundrysauceNL]

***** All their albums follow the same storyline, Travels is about the protagonist, Empty Days is about his brother, Letters home their father and Lost Ground is the black guy he meets playing guitar in NYC.

[@Passionoverlust]

I have a local pub type bar i go to every friday and i refer to it as the copper coin, and i wish more people would realize why and how amazing the reference is.

[@lordguirk]

instantly brings a tear to the eye

[@ryanjordan5748]

going to warped tour just to see this band and his other band Alcoa, cant wait!

[@deathacus]

So are the characters in this supposed to represent characters of the story? Like the guy with the guitar, was that the coward? or was it the younger kid?

[@TheDaughterofLies]

I love how they angled Beefeater Gin to make it look like Defeater

[@daaarwtf]

amazing, favourite. always.

[@VanessaLandazabal]

I'm really feeling this song

[@DaMenace30001]

Yes

[@hardCOREmonkyman]

What type of hardcore is this? Im just wondering cause the hardcore I'm more familiar with is like Terror, Madball, First Blood, Gideon, Stick to your guns, legend, etc.

[@BaMYoCoRe]

every sogn is worth to be the wedding song.

[@takinmyxlifeback]

I'm so stoked about this video. so awesome.

[@ns_down]

It's grown drastically since, Literally 80% of my music these days I get from Tumblr. It's really the only website I can think of that's dominated by people who're into this scene.

[@bastianagi7778]

Amazing song

[@H0bbz-dev]

loved this video, this album is amazing. I actually liked leaving all of it to imagination though. I saw the copper coin much different, and there interaction more romantic than sleazy like it showed maybe.

[@gracelauren3788]

Such talent.

[@revdanimal1523]

This is part 2 to "I don't mind". All of their songs and albums correlate like chapters in a book. True story

[@meman379]

Is that Letlive.'s Jason Allen Butler at 0:45????

[@SteelCamel]

Csak egy falevél vagyok a viharban... :)

[@csabamiskolczi5351]

akkor nem csak nekem tűnt fel :D

[@ethangardener6027]

😂 Nagyon vicces

[@nkolis92]

They're touring with Napolean right?

[@316reign]

I saw them. They had a small but very enthusiastic crowd that was slowly growing in size throughout the set

[@youthtube1509]

Tell me about the old days!

[@rstueckle]

The vocal style and melodic, bluesy guitar parts remind me of La Dispute.

[@ULCPictures]

This is a great fucking video. Nice work. (I've never even heard this band til just now)

[@boltonr12]

they should make a book out of all the albums. id buy it.

[@mollywright7921]

THERE AINT NOTHING LIKE YOUR SMILE, YOURS LEGS AND THOSE EYES

[@Tibbs401]

anyone body know how to do the vocals that Derek uses?

[@underacheivers]

@Darkchriz since when did Sergeant D approve of AA and BMTH?

[@sebassaenz10]

best song ever

[@baker1913]

Who was the dp for this video?

[@jaredDMI]

The story is universal so I think they may have left it ambiguous on purpose so that we could all kind of picture our hometowns, you know?

[@brennuslaird4161]

Still love this true music

[@TheSnappled]

what kind of cigarettes is he smoking?

[@SerDuncanMaybals]

Lucky strikes

[@ImPePePt]

That music have copyright????

[@wozy100]

Yeah We Are The Ocean rock you should totally check them out!

[@oldpinheadlarry]

Greatest comment I've ever seen on a Defeater video.

[@50sorrowC]

thanks for the post!

[@trishiadiaz2466]

Tell me about the old days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chrissoliz9661]

what tuning is this in?

[@superninjapirate19]

i want a film of this story

[@conorgracey5514]

best vocals around, no question.

[@flemingia]

I unfortunately ignored Defeater for awhile because I associated them with Bridge Nine. Don't get me wrong, the label has a lot of solid recordings, but at the same time I feel like it's become the McDonald's of hardcore at times. Regardless, I really enjoy this. Haven't gotten too much information on the concept. From what I gather it sounds like it surrounds the experiences associated with World War II era Jersey Shore communities.

[@shiredai7233]

remember that after they played this song the drummer threw away his drum sticks and i cought one, this band grew to me so much

[@kylefullerton1331]

TELL ME ABOUT THE OLD DAYS!!

[@ibeyer5]

I've been saying this since I first heard the album/read the lyrics.

[@sedd1234]

Cause there aint nothin, like your smile, your legs and those eyes!
