This is simply a fantastic album. It's acoustic punk at its finest, with a feel to it that makes it sound like punk fused with the great depression of the US. The songs, in lyrical terms, go from historical to political to depressing songs about growing up to songs about childhood. Violin abounds alongside upbeat acoustic guitar and simple drum beats, creating some heavy sounding music. The male and female singers work together perfectly, with both having a somewhat harsh sounding punk voice.

Best Songs: Petty Problems, Calling Old Friends, Lambs at the Slaughter

I love Defiance, Ohio. The first record I ever heard of them was the self-released, "Share What Ya Got" I truly feel they're an underrated band.
