Your favorite band’s favorite band, Cohoes New York’s END OF A YEAR SELF DEFENSE
FAMILY enjoys a distinct renown within the punk community. Well respected and
critically lauded but difficult and idiosyncratic, the band has done things their way almost
to a fault. Eschewing singalongs and easy anthems in favor of personal lyrics, END OF
A YEAR SELF DEFENSE FAMILY stands apart from their contemporaries in punk and
hardcore. Their strangely tense guitar work framed within otherwise hook laden songs
lends the band an unmistakable sound. Opting to be heavy in emotional rather than
heavy in sound.
I Heard Crime Gets You Off/To Your Scattered Bodies Go are two deep cuts from the
END OF A YEAR SELF DEFENSE FAMILY, reflecting their patient meandering style of
story telling. “I Heard Crime Gets You Off” was recorded at Tuff Gong Studios in Kingston,
Jamaica.
