Defy The Tyrants debut with cover of Sepultura's "Roots Bloody Roots"

Southern California now has a new band to add to its roster of talent. Hailing from the border town of Chula Vista, CA, Defy The Tyrants have debuted the first track from their Ep, "Wrest The Crown", and it is a blistering rendition of the 90's nu-metal classic "Roots Bloody Roots" by Sepultura.

"It was a difficult time for me and honestly, I didn't even know if I wanted to continue music" says Anthony. "I had put all my energy into Thirty 30 for eight years and I was pretty hesitant to start another project, but then one day Brandon (Lobb, drums) hit me up on Facebook and asked if I was down to jam. Once we got together, we wrote like two songs in one day, which hasn't happened to me since high school (laughs)!" Rounded out by Anthony's former Thirty 30 bandmate Alberto Lafarga ...
