It's been 10-12 years, this is the real shit. crazy how you listen to so many songs over your lifetime, some on repeat... then theres bands like defeater, that you'll not listen to for a decade, but find yourself right back where it all fucken started. That's what the internet should be for.
Caught em a few times, most recently at gilman last year and he always delivers live, like listening to the album, i just have to stand there and admire how good these guys continue to be!
The way she looked at you, tears streaming down her face You felt the brush of her dress as she walked away And that's all that it took, sat down to buy her a drink An empty or a half full glass, it all goes down the same And that's the way that it's been Years later she took your name Hopeful and now unafraid Your gut sinks each time you see her Another night at the Copper Coin Another night, another night And that's all that it took, sat down to buy her a drink An empty or a half full glass, it all goes down the same And that's the way that it's been Years later she took your name Hopeful and now unafraid Your gut sinks each time you see her Tell me about the old days Another night at the Copper Coin Tell me about the old days Put the sun into the sea 'Cause there ain't nothing like your smile, your legs and those eyes Tell me about the old days 'Cause there ain't nothing like your smile, your legs and those eyes And I will beg and steal and borrow to keep you safe your whole life
man, the guitar is what makes this song for me, the tone is veryyyyy atypical for this kind of music. No distortion at all until a little bit at the end (but even still there isn't much), very unusual and interesting in this case, especially considering the contrast with the harsh, fast, and heavy vocals and drum parts throughout.
Next Defeater Album confirmed: The story of Bob the Weatherman. Learn everything about Bob, the blood in his veins, his alcohol addiction and how he slaughtered his family, because the sun wasn't shining.
I remember seeing these guys for the first time when they were on tour with ABR in Dallas. Never listened to them before and didnt know their music at all. But I was blown away by the passion of this band. Cheers dudes.
perfect pacing, love the breakdown. and goddamn those ending lines. there aint nothing like your smile, your legs and those eyes... and i will beg and steal and borrow to keep you safe your whole life..... all the more bitter considering she dies.....
one of the few bands i would pay to see more than once defeater puts on awesome shows them with touche amore was one of the best shows i have ever been too
It's grown drastically since, Literally 80% of my music these days I get from Tumblr. It's really the only website I can think of that's dominated by people who're into this scene.
***** All their albums follow the same storyline, Travels is about the protagonist, Empty Days is about his brother, Letters home their father and Lost Ground is the black guy he meets playing guitar in NYC.
Were there're stage was set up at warped in my city. The scene kids was on the other side of this large parking lot listing to their butt lord andy six play. And defeater had a nice crowd. Many people who never heard of them was confused, the front crowd was screaming their lungs out as soon they played red, white, and blue. haha it was such a great time! Defeater killed it.
I have a local pub type bar i go to every friday and i refer to it as the copper coin, and i wish more people would realize why and how amazing the reference is.
It's definitely talking about a place exactly like that. Since they've toured England before they may have been there, but intentional or not that place you described is exactly the setting for this record. Post WWII, industrial. I heard somewhere that it's set in New Jersey, but I always assumed it was Massachusetts because that's where they're from and being from Massachusetts myself, I've always pictured scenery like in the port town of Salem, MA.
loved this video, this album is amazing. I actually liked leaving all of it to imagination though. I saw the copper coin much different, and there interaction more romantic than sleazy like it showed maybe.
So, anyone who likes these guys should definitely go check out this upcoming band called Being As an ocean. Amazing musicians, great music, awesome dudes. Get at it. Also, this song is amazing, as is the entire discography really.
Because Oliver Sykes the lead singer during the early 2010’s had a sound that sSORT of resembled this single in a coupe of his songs. But yeah the bands belong to entirely different sub genres
I unfortunately ignored Defeater for awhile because I associated them with Bridge Nine. Don't get me wrong, the label has a lot of solid recordings, but at the same time I feel like it's become the McDonald's of hardcore at times. Regardless, I really enjoy this. Haven't gotten too much information on the concept. From what I gather it sounds like it surrounds the experiences associated with World War II era Jersey Shore communities.
11 years later and I’ve found my way back. It sure is nice to listen to this stuff again. Nostalgic
Lmao its pretty apparent that people who are comparing bmth with this have never listened to Defeater and have no clue about the music or genre.
Agreed.
Karen Ramone00 ..very true. I recently came to the realization of the Defeatist starring You. ..lol
bmth is trash I feel insulted that someone would compare them to defeater
Wait wait wait. How could you even compare these guys to bmth that’s wild 😂
Bmth isn't nothing like Defeater only an idiot would make that statement
It's been 10-12 years, this is the real shit. crazy how you listen to so many songs over your lifetime, some on repeat... then theres bands like defeater, that you'll not listen to for a decade, but find yourself right back where it all fucken started. That's what the internet should be for.
I absolutely adore the emotion in his screams. It's so hauntingly beautiful, I just can't stop listening to this.
This album has really cool gothic imagery it’s definitely my favorite release from them
Caught em a few times, most recently at gilman last year and he always delivers live, like listening to the album, i just have to stand there and admire how good these guys continue to be!
"They're like La Dispute"
"They're like BMTH"
They're like Defeater now shut the hell up
+Daytona Thomas La Dispute isn't shit band my friend.
+Daytona Thomas I won't agrue with your opinion, I understand but I like them af. Cheers.
+Daytona Thomas exactly man, exactly
+RadeCzech182 Have a good day
+Daytona Thomas this was the best opinion exchange in the history of internet ever. you too lad
The drumming on this song is absolutely stunning
'Cause there ain't nothin' like your smile.. those legs and those eyes!!.. gets me every time.. ❤️
This is some of my favorite drumming of all time. When someone asks you for an iconic moment in drumming, say “Empty Glass” by Defeater!
The way she looked at you, tears streaming down her face
You felt the brush of her dress as she walked away
And that's all that it took, sat down to buy her a drink
An empty or a half full glass, it all goes down the same
And that's the way that it's been
Years later she took your name
Hopeful and now unafraid
Your gut sinks each time you see her
Another night at the Copper Coin Another night, another night
And that's all that it took, sat down to buy her a drink
An empty or a half full glass, it all goes down the same
And that's the way that it's been
Years later she took your name
Hopeful and now unafraid
Your gut sinks each time you see her
Tell me about the old days
Another night at the Copper Coin
Tell me about the old days
Put the sun into the sea
'Cause there ain't nothing like your smile, your legs and those eyes
Tell me about the old days 'Cause there ain't nothing like your smile, your legs and those eyes
And I will beg and steal and borrow to keep you safe your whole life
Thank you for the lyrics. This song hits me straight in the heart. Defeater are an incredible band
Defeater and Being As An Ocean are my two favorite bands as of now.
I agree with you 100% dude they're my favorite bands besides letlive
Baao 😍😍😍
Half empty or half full it all goes down the same, awesome!
Its hard to find a band to tell a story quite like Defeater. Their work is immaculate.
man, the guitar is what makes this song for me, the tone is veryyyyy atypical for this kind of music. No distortion at all until a little bit at the end (but even still there isn't much), very unusual and interesting in this case, especially considering the contrast with the harsh, fast, and heavy vocals and drum parts throughout.
Great point. You're right.
I love the drumwork in all Defeater tracks, but to me this will always be one of my favourites. Everything about this track is perfect.
+Vheissu dont forget the white oak door..
+Vheissu I was trying to explain why this is some of my favorite drumming to my band's singer, but he wasn't getting it. Its so fucking good.
The drums are so fucking solid on this whole album. Perfect tone, some of the best beats and tightest fills I've ever heard.
Next Defeater Album confirmed: The story of Bob the Weatherman. Learn everything about Bob, the blood in his veins, his alcohol addiction and how he slaughtered his family, because the sun wasn't shining.
What about the burdens he carries?
+reckzn
I read in an interview that they want to leave that out of the next album so that it doesn't repeat too many of the old elements.
Not sure if early 1900's people in a bar, or clean scene hipsters in a bar.
@@patricksingleton7516 it was a joke dude
Депрессивно, атмосферно. Не часто встретишь такие проникновенные песни, просто супер!
There ears will explode with the greatness that is Defeater
I remember seeing these guys for the first time when they were on tour with ABR in Dallas. Never listened to them before and didnt know their music at all. But I was blown away by the passion of this band. Cheers dudes.
More than life and defeater are my favorites bands now and forever.
Haven't kissed her lips in 4 years... But I will always remember them.. I will always remember her. She is a ghost in my heart but not in my mind
Your gut sinks each time you see her...
perfect pacing, love the breakdown. and goddamn those ending lines. there aint nothing like your smile, your legs and those eyes... and i will beg and steal and borrow to keep you safe your whole life..... all the more bitter considering she dies.....
I love how much emotion he's putting into this, and every single song. It's so real, and raw. It's perfect.
The fact that this only has 54,000 views is unbelievable. More people need to know about this band.
The creativity of their drummer is insane!
Loving the drums too. :)
I got to see these guys last night and for most bands you would see some mosh pitting but for these guys; there pattionate music had everyone silent.
Thr drum work in this is out of this world.
one of the few bands i would pay to see more than once defeater puts on awesome shows them with touche amore was one of the best shows i have ever been too
I miss them, man.
TELL ME ABOUT THE OLD DAYS.
Stokens listens to Defeater holy shit
Every song on this album is video worthy.
One of the best bands live i've ever seen!
I saw this band at Warped MN yesterday! I've been been hearing A LOT about them, so i decided to check them out! I DO NOT regret it!
The best song i've been listening for a while
Песня и клип просто прекрасны! Очень атмосферно
instantly brings a tear to the eye
Defeater may be one of the greatest bands ever.
amazing band. i love music that makes you think and actually feel something. Defeater checks both those box's
goosebumps...amazing!!!
Such a sick band, a good friend of mine is actually putting them on here in the UK, London, very excited to see them live! :D
To the dude who doesnt get the video, Defeater is a concept band. This song is only a small part of the whole story on record.
Great song and video.
The drummer always impresses me
This is part 2 to "I don't mind". All of their songs and albums correlate like chapters in a book. True story
They were amazing!!!!
I love how they angled Beefeater Gin to make it look like Defeater
Such a worthwhile band.
It's grown drastically since, Literally 80% of my music these days I get from Tumblr. It's really the only website I can think of that's dominated by people who're into this scene.
amazing, favourite. always.
Still love this true music
remember that after they played this song the drummer threw away his drum sticks and i cought one, this band grew to me so much
THERE AINT NOTHING LIKE YOUR SMILE, YOURS LEGS AND THOSE EYES
going to warped tour just to see this band and his other band Alcoa, cant wait!
this video is powerful if you listen to the full album
***** All their albums follow the same storyline, Travels is about the protagonist, Empty Days is about his brother, Letters home their father and Lost Ground is the black guy he meets playing guitar in NYC.
So glad I got to hear this at Furnace Fest.
RIP RACHELLE WE LOVE YOU 💔
Such a mezmerizing song. Sick drumming too
I'm so stoked about this video. so awesome.
The 2 that disliked this didn't think there was enough auto-tune.
Were there're stage was set up at warped in my city. The scene kids was on the other side of this large parking lot listing to their butt lord andy six play. And defeater had a nice crowd. Many people who never heard of them was confused, the front crowd was screaming their lungs out as soon they played red, white, and blue. haha it was such a great time! Defeater killed it.
I just found this band and they're really good why have I not heard you before what
I just love this song.. this band. The best fucking band EVER.
I have a local pub type bar i go to every friday and i refer to it as the copper coin, and i wish more people would realize why and how amazing the reference is.
Cause there aint nothin, like your smile, your legs and those eyes!

Csak egy falevél vagyok a viharban... :)
akkor nem csak nekem tűnt fel :D
😂 Nagyon vicces
I'd never listen to Defeater before, I was able to see them on Warped Tour and I regret nothing.
Amazing song
I saw them. They had a small but very enthusiastic crowd that was slowly growing in size throughout the set
best song ever
Drum work is amazing...
thanks for the post!
Greatest comment I've ever seen on a Defeater video.
EPIC LYRICS, EPIC VIDEO, EPIC BAND
They didn't drink?
I loved this.
I'm really feeling this song
Yes
The story is universal so I think they may have left it ambiguous on purpose so that we could all kind of picture our hometowns, you know?
loved this video, this album is amazing. I actually liked leaving all of it to imagination though. I saw the copper coin much different, and there interaction more romantic than sleazy like it showed maybe.
Such talent.
unfassbarer song..
Who was the dp for this video?
I've been saying this since I first heard the album/read the lyrics.
Its a bottle of Beefeater Gin cleverly disguised to suggest it spells out Defeater. Pretty good idea.
Where are all of the defeater videos? I'd love to experience them again in video
This band reminds me of the early 90's emocore/screamo/post-hardcore bands
True fucking words bro
hey idiot this band is punk hardcore
José Edmilson definitely not punk harcore
José Edmilson pls be troll
+José Edmilson punk? rly?
every sogn is worth to be the wedding song.
So, anyone who likes these guys should definitely go check out this upcoming band called Being As an ocean. Amazing musicians, great music, awesome dudes. Get at it. Also, this song is amazing, as is the entire discography really.
Because Oliver Sykes the lead singer during the early 2010’s had a sound that sSORT of resembled this single in a coupe of his songs. But yeah the bands belong to entirely different sub genres
This isn't the copper coin I had imagined...
I unfortunately ignored Defeater for awhile because I associated them with Bridge Nine. Don't get me wrong, the label has a lot of solid recordings, but at the same time I feel like it's become the McDonald's of hardcore at times. Regardless, I really enjoy this.

best vocals around, no question.
2023
Amazing
Live shows is what gave them attention where I'm from, I don't think I've ever seen their tumblr page.
Miss Portsmouth, NH
The vocal style and melodic, bluesy guitar parts remind me of La Dispute.
Megagut!
This reminds me of my freshman year
sooo good
they should make a book out of all the albums. id buy it.
