Legendary melodic punk rockers Strike Anywhere have pieced together a live
acoustic collection, titled In De?ance of Empty Times, that is set to be released
on August 14th from Bridge Nine Records. Two sets were recorded last year,
in Rochester in July and Richmond in September, and merged together for this
very special release. “Side Rochester” features six songs captured from Strike
Anywhere’s acoustic performance alongside labelmates Polar Bear Club, while
“Side Richmond” was recorded during a bene?t show for the IWW on the eve
of the Occupy Movement in RVA. This album follows the release of Strike
Anywhere’s landmark album Iron Front, which was released on Bridge Nine in
October of 2009 and called “the band’s best output to date” by Punknews.org.
Since then, Strike Anywhere has toured the globe numerous times over and will
be playing shows in support of In De?ance of Empty Times.
