Some bands write about heartbreak. Tower Defense writes about parking lots, streaming royalties, and the slow creep of commodification across everything you used to love. The bombastic, Nashville based, double bass quartet — Mike Shepherd, Sarah Shepherd, Jereme Frey, and Currey May — has been making fuzzed-out, hook-driven rock since 2013, and their new singles "Fit for Purpose" and "Artless Hands" are among their sharpest work yet. They record themselves, release on their own terms, and still sound like nobody else in town.
