ownCDs and CD-Rs, as well asallowing anyone to download all of their music for free from their website under a Creative Commons Attribute-

producetheir releases. Typically these have been smallerindependent labels. However, the band has worked with the more notable though
stillstaunchly independent No Idea Records.
After making the decisions to work with No Idea, the band felt a need to explain their actions and maintain the sense of dialogue that theyfeel
has beenconsistent in how they've operated themselves as a band. They said that they would have preferred to release the albumthemselves,
but that they didnot have the capacity to do so while continuing to keep older releases in print. Their song "Sometimes Motion"was featured in
the 2008 Irishdocumentary Roll Up Your Sleeves.
Most of the members of Defiance, Ohio also participate in other bands, such as Nana Grizol, Pretty Hot, Landlord, Pink Houses,
