Great music and a rockin' good time are not crimes but The Defendants stand guilty as charged. Perhaps best described as a psychedelic folk western blues roots jam band, The Defendants return after serving a long sentence. With a new bass player and new material The Defendants are ready to become productive members of society once again.
