Bold, Raw, and Alive. Three words that accurately describe Defiant Caliburs' new CD. Forgoing industry standardized song manipulation techniques like autotune, the CD captures the raw intentions of the music instead of plasticizing the songs. The album has evolved a great deal from previous musical releases and brings out the energy and style that is epitomized in their stage performance. The layered guitar playing sounds meaty, punchy and full. Its nice to hear the natural vocalized shouts of "Rock it Up/Lock it Down", the bands anthem for saying they wanna rock!

When you hear a Defiant Calibur song you will remember it, the band has a good song writing formula that reminds me of good 'ol fashioned Rock and Roll, a genre which I have affectionately termed "Fun Rock".
