Inside the performance

Sound, stage & company

Onstage company

Documented collaborators

Birth (Defects) delivers raw, uncompromising noise rock that blends hardcore punk with shoegaze textures and grunge grit. Fronted by Sean Gray, the project operates at the intersection of ferocious energy and introspective atmosphere, earning a dedicated following on Bandcamp and beyond. The band’s work is marked by a willingness to push sonic boundaries while maintaining a direct, confrontational edge that speaks to both headbangers and fans of abrasive, emotionally charged music.

Documented collaborators

In late 2020s retrospection, Birth (Defects) emerged with a newly finished release, Deceiver / Mirror, a project originally tracked in 2017 and completed for release in 2025 with involvement from Steve Albini’s circle. This connection underscores a lineage of DIY ethic fused with a precise, studio-forward approach to record capture. Expect heavy, pulverizing guitars, relentless rhythms, and lyrical honesty that questions institutions and personal struggle alike.
