THE DEFIANTS are back with their sophomore album, "Zokusho". Comprised of Paul Laine, Bruno Ravel, and Rob Marcello, The Defiants is three fabulous musicians who, as fans in the know will immediately recognize, all have ties to popular hard rockers, Danger Danger.
On how the new album compares to their debut, bassist Bruno Ravel says, "I think the “sound” of the album, while very similar to the debut, is a bit more focused. I also think that the songs, as a collection, are stronger than the debut." Vocalist/guitarist Paul Laine says, "I think the sound of the record is a natural progression from the first record. I think both Bruno and I felt pressure to deliver a record that we could feel as proud of as the first one. On a personal note, I feel the Bruno really outdid himself on the mix of the album. To me, it is sonically beautiful." Guitarist Rob Marcello adds, "It’s basically more of the same. Why mess with a winning concept! Haha I’m very proud of the last one, but I feel the songs are stronger on the new album."
The songwriting process for "Zokusho" was "the same as the debut. Paul and I sift through ideas, refine them and what you hear is the end result," tells Ravel. "Bruno and I tossed the idea ball back and forth until the album was completed. Discipline and hard work, with a focus on the same passion that we had making the first album," adds Laine. Marcello chimes in that "Bruno and Paul have such a great formula for writing songs, so when I get to them they’re pretty much complete. Then I get to decorate them with some Scandinavian flavor!"
The Defiants debut album was greeted with a great acclaim as a glorious return to the “in your face” melodic hard rock that enraptured millions of fans back in the '80s and '90s and is currently enjoying a renaissance here in the 21st century, so a follow-up album was a no-brainer. The brand new album, “Zokusho”, a Japanese word meaning "sequel” or "the next chapter”, is now set for release on September 13, 2019. This album also features Steve West of D2 on drums. Needless to say, this album has all the ingredients to thrill D2 and The Defiants fans. A BIG melodic rock album with big choruses, hooks and soaring guitars and vocals.
On first single, "Fallin' For You" Ravel explains that he "came up with the hook first, then mixed elements from ’80’s AOR, and tried to give them an updated more aggressive approach. That’s what The Defiants do! As for what it is about, boy is lost, meets girl, falls hard for her… BOOM!" Laine's take on it is that "it was the last song written for the album. I don't ever like to talk about what the lyrics are about, save for the fact that I only ever write what I know. Songs mean different things to different people, and that's the beauty of a song, isn't it? And it's never going to mean the same thing to you as it does to me most likely, as you haven't put the miles in my shoes. With the title of the aforementioned song, everybody is going to think it means what it says, but does it? Read your lyrics kids...just like the old days...then you tell me what it means." Marcello simply adds, "you'd have to ask Bruno and Paul about that one, I like the guitar solo though!"
Best known for being the D2 vocalist on four studio albums over the course of 12 years, Paul Laine came back to work with his former bandmates Bruno Ravel and Rob Marcello, who are the other two pillars of The DEFIANTS, for the band’s self-titled debut album in 2015. The guys reunited at the suggestion of Frontiers' President Serafino Perugino, who really wanted these current and former Danger Danger members to offer fans of that band some new music. The resulting album was pleasing not only to the D2 fans, but also to ALL the fans out there who are into the classic sound of the era from which D2 emerged.

@@johnnylynn7079, sorry, no. If we are releasing an album on vinyl, then we always announce all formats at once. If vinyl isn't announced with the launch of pre-orders, then it is not being released on vinyl. Don't get us wrong, we would LOVE to put out all our releases on vinyl for the vinyl fanatics out there, but sadly the sales just aren't there. Fans of this style of music seem to overwhelmingly prefer CD or Digital.

So many bands... start with CRAZY LIXX... then go with Reckless Love, Crashdiet, Cruzh, One Desire, H.E.A.T. (although, skip their latest album... if you're after feelgood 80s summertime hard rock, you'll be best advised to skip the last one), W.E.T., Work of Art, White Widdow, and so many others. ;) Cheers!

This band is incredible. Wow what a sound and laines voice is a thing of beauty. They have hit number 1 with me. Not too many bands can release material this perfect and talk about being melodic..huh melody city. I can't wait for their third release. Keep pulling out the big gunz boyz.
When a legend playing a music on this era with better technology recording compare to poor recording in past 80s-90s. Ah that sound it's so good, a song was perfect, rock ballads is never die even I'm a young generation 30yrs today 🤘🔥
GLORY DAYS ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAJESTIC
THE DEFIANTS YOU ARE AWESOME! I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR MORE! THIS IS A EXCELLENT SONG! Thank you FRONTIERS for sharing AWESOME bands!
Excellent...as anything with Laine, Ravel, Marcello and West in it...
The Danger Danger dudes= quality rock and roll.The Defiants rock!
Música viva, fresca, potente y con mucha mucha caña!!!
Good song ... good album ... greetings from Indonesia ... PLEASE GOD BRING ME BACK TO 80'-90'
Gotta love it. Excellent vocals. Killer chorus. Good full production sound.The guitar solo at 3.18 is magical. Yep they nailed it. Two thums up. PS why is there no option in braille as a number of blind people gave it a thumbs down by accident no doubt :)
When you grew up in the 80's and early 90's listening to this kind of music and you know it effin jams. Thank God for Bluetooth. We shall rock out.
It doesn't take long to see this is a first-class band with hard rock written all over it. I think the vocals are fantastic, and then add that fabulous band, and we have a winner!!
1989 all over again for me. I have literally listened to their CD's for two days straight, a few songs listened to two or three times. I have to admit I never listened to Danger Danger with Paul Laine because I was hardcore Ted Poley. However, I'm going to revisit his stuff because I never realized he was such a damn good singer!! Please tour...I'll be there with bells on. 😁🤘♥️
1987, Gray Mustang, Subwoofer in the back. Blasting this while I cruised the 'local strip' in my hometown. Love this song.
Such a great song! Cannot wait to hear the rest of the album. Love it!❤️

What an awesome mix between Paul Laine's sound and Danger Danger!!
I was so surprised when heard the guitar solo, then I watched it again, and that guitar and that hair is def Rob Marcello ! He is a Guitar Hero !
80's yet modern vibe. Exactly what i wanted and you delivered it perfectly, well done guys 🤘🏽
The defiants is precious jewel for me ... I am waiting for this classic CD... I don't understand who dislikes the video ... they can't be real rock fans
Can't...stop..listening...Must have album. Now.
How have I never heard of these guys before (apart from the genius of Rob Marcello) - that hook!! The production, the playing, the writing is all absolute knock out!!! Frontiers you are knocking it out of the park again!
I love this old school sound. Great vocals by Paul and what an awesome guitar sound and solo 😍
MASTERPIECE...WHAT A GREAT TUNE AND CORUS

Been listening to this album since it came out and the songs just get better with every listen!!!!

I found these guys yesterday while I was listening to other music on Apple Music. I was listening to a Danger Danger and it flipped over to other music. I had no clue that three members of the band were from Danger Danger

I heard this song very loudly in my car many times. 😄🤘
Absolutely awesome & would love to see another Danger Danger album to but cannot wait for this release. Catchy as hell.
Great tune! I'm sure the rest of Zokusho will be equally as cool!
The nice tune!..and the full of life!!! 06.04.2020
Great 80''s melodic sound! Will be playing my air drum on the steering wheel while driving at age 50!
I think it too, a fantastic and great song.
Absolutely love it! Even though it's new, it reminds me of better times.
I've been waiting for this! Great band.... Great songs!!!
About time we got some fresh new music with great pop rock and shredding guitar sensibilities!
Can't wait for full alumb its almost here. Just a great band filled with talent. Reminds of a time where music didn't suck.
This is 80s sound but modern way,i love this song.
Nice Rock and Roll Machine you have there! Thankx!
Danger Danger is back... Great job guys 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
cannot wait for the new album. catchy catchy as hell!
This is an AMAZING song !!! The video is great, this director is the BEST , I can actually enjoy a video.
perfection
I have always been a huge fan of Paul's voice. I love this. Anxious to hear more.
This is so good. In the past couple of weeks I have been hearing more good rock and roll and I think it is great. This track from The Defiants just bleeds power chords from 1989 and it is perfect. I will definitely be going to check out the album now. Long live the guitar solo!!
Great song feels like 1987
paul laine¡¡¡¡ amazing voice¡¡¡.

That's the Frontiers style, you got a totally awesome song with a stunning video shot in Genoa (Italy) and, finally, with a great actress that shows (in a really natural and easy way) the best part of being human: feelings!

Think we've explained this before, but if we don't announce vinyl with the initial pre-orders, then it means vinyl is not happening. We see "lots" of comments from people asking for vinyl on every single release, but then the sales are rarely there. For whatever reason, the AOR/Melodic Rock crowd heavily leans towards the CD.

Ah okay, I thought a limited edition vinyl would work really well for this release. I totally understand that it’s about sales and the cost to produce a vinyl edition would be much higher, but I still think there would be quite a large amount of people who would jump at the chance to buy a Defiants vinyl release. If they didn’t all sell out online or at festivals I’d be surprised!

Why don't simply calling themselves DANGER DANGER, which they truly were. Great , things can't go wrong when you had talented musicians putting out an album like this.
I have to wait 3 more months for this album, fuck!
She needs to be in all The Defiants' videos going forward, like that woman that's in all the Revolution Saints videos.
