EVERYTHING IS FINE

The Birth Defects' live show unleashes an all out assault on pop
sensibility and widely accessible music with their bastard child of
punk, thrash, noise and every genre of heavy music that services
the outcasts and the misunderstood of society. Ghost
Ramp-signed and Ty Segall-produced, The Birth Defects sophomore
effort is nothing short of a validation for the misfits of planet
earth.
Lead singer and guitarist Jason Finazzo teaches a crash course
on transforming suffering into a good time. He's the poster child
for emotional paralysis and making good on the promise to get out
of the house for a little bit today. Brothers in a battery of unrelenting
sonic and rhythmic assault are bassist Philip Nielsen, drummer
Anthony Drinkwater and, newest edition, guitarist Tim Dawson.
Their riffs are rough and raw and make no requisite age for rage,
yet remain oddly unpretentious about how hardcore they are. Everyone
is welcome to the other side of the tracks where The Birth
Defects live to laugh at you and cry at their own misfortune.
