Defeater to release 'Live on BBC Radio 1' sessions

Defeater have announced they will release a Live on BBC Radio 1 session, recorded last December in the UK.

The band’s BBC Maida Vale Session, which aired on Mike Davies Punk Show on BBC Radio 1 on January 24th, will be available digitally on December 18 and January 15, 2013 on vinyl.

Defeater guitarist Jay Maas has commented on the recording session, saying, "On every level imaginable, this experience was a dream come true for me. Every band from The Cure, and The Smiths to Hot Snakes, and American Nightmare has been recorded behind those walls. It’s nothing but an honor and a treat to now be included on that list. We tracked live versions of 'But Breathing', 'Brothers', 'Warm Blood Rush', and 'Empty Glass'."

Maas goes on to say, "The studio was absolutely gorgeous. It had 20-foot ceilings, great acoustic treatment, a built-in glass vocal booth, and a lounge loft, all contained in the live room. There was a full 48-track SSL board, three silver-faced 1176LN compressors, an E.A.R. Fairchild replica, and hand built near field monitors, which sounded unreal, in the control room."

Defeater recently completed an Australian tour with Blacklisted, and plan on writing and recording new material in 2013, with more details to come soon.
