Heaven Is Earth

Heaven Is Earth is Self Defense Family’s second LP in two years. They live up to their band name here: The songs are mostly stationary and stonefaced, waiting for you to fuck up so they can pounce. This is music that doesn’t play offense, it just takes offense.

D. Boon of the Minutemen once famously said, "Punk is whatever we made it to be," and Self Defense Family are one band who appear to have taken Boon's words to heart.
